Isiah signs 4 JC players to first FIU class

EXCERPT
MIAMI -- Florida International Golden Panthers coach Isiah Thomas has signed four junior college players, the first batch of scholarships given out by the Hall of Fame player since taking the job. But Thomas... also likely will be losing two players.

[Players joining Thomas]

Roberts -- touted by FIU as the leading junior college scorer in the nation this past season, averaging nearly 30 points per game -- is from Brooklyn and averag

Watson, a 6-4 guard from Raleigh, N.C., played with Roberts at Redlands and averaged 24.8 points a game.

Weaver is a 6-3 guard from Forest City, Ark., who led Connor State to the NJCAA Final Four last season, averaging 17 points a game.

Gary, a 5-10 point guard, recorded three triple doubles last season at Chicago Malcom X and averaged 19 points and nine assists, according to the Herald.

So, the obvious question:

Will he destroy the entire university or just the basketball team?

[PhillyHoya]

Probably just the basketball team for now. The football team already destroyed themselves against Miami.

[HealyHoya]

Oh, I think you're selling Isiah short: the entire university is in jeopardy right now.

[hifigator]

"Oh, don't sell yourself short judge. You're a tremendous slouch!"

[PhillyHoya]

I did say *for now*. It's only a matter of time. I am a former Knicks fan so I am well versed in Isiah's doings.

So given the participants I have to imagine he signed them all to ludicrous cap-crippling contracts that will harm the basketball program for years to come right? He wouldn't just have them sign a LOI or anything boring like that would he?
