I believe he can go back and get his associate's degree, but he'll have to pay his own way. Maybe the scholarship is still good even if he can't play.
I don't believe the ship is still good. Why would it be? He threw that away when he declared for the draft. That ship should go to a kid that wants to go and play jr college ball at that school. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to the kid that didn't get a ship or to the school.
That was just speculation. In all likelihood, he'll have to pay his own way.
Depends on how quickly he finishes, click is running.
That is huge that he will still have 3 Years to play now. I can't see the SU staff giving up on him now as he would be a nice asset in a year from now.
And you have to wonder if this was the master plan all along. Some of us have criticized his handlers, but maybe, just maybe, they knew what they were doing. The best part is there will be plenty of roster space and playing time available for him a year from now.
What's not mentioned in the article is where he is going to go to JC to take classes this year. I wouldn't think he would go back to that school in Florida so it would make more sense to go locally. He needs to go somewhere to take classes where the credits can be transferred to stay eligible academically. How slim would the odds be that he commits to the Cuse and goes to OCC for classes.
So he is returning to the same JC. In the meantime, playing there one year has established residency so that he pays the local tuition? If that is true, that is a decent move.
Keep in mind, the JUCO rule didn't change. It's been the same for years.
But didn't he and his Senegalese advisers believe the rule was the same as the new NCAA rule? The Waters article seemed to intimate that.
Yes, that's how Waters read it and how most of the people here read it. Just throwing it out there that maybe they knew exactly what they were doing.
Or maybe "some" smart college coach came up with the idea.
Shhhhh.
