Perhaps because the kid / HS coach / HS didn't expect him to have one course flagged [just going by what was discussed in the article from this morning].

I assume that if they had a clear sense that this would happen, then alternative arrangements would probably have been made.  AGAIN--going to accept at face value that this is just about one class from when he was in Senegal, and not other compounding issues impacting his qualification--then one quick way to remediate would be to get a college semester under his belt, get the coursework out of the way he needs to substitute for that one disputed course, and enroll in January.

Athletes who DON'T qualify on the sliding scale coming out of HS need to earn a JUCO degree before they can transfer to a four-year D1 program.  Kids who are already qualified [which Diagne is] can enroll at any time--they don't have to graduate from JUCO in order to qualify, as they are already "qualified."

Seems like the simplest / quickest path is for Diange to take it on the chin for one semester by not coming to SU, do whatever it takes to get college credit in the type of course that the NCAA didn't accept, and then transfer in for the second semester.  That would get him practicing some time in late December, and hopefully in place for the ACC portion of the schedule.

Please feel free to keep me honest [directed to everyone] if I am missing something about how the process works or the logistics associated with it, but it seems that straight forward to me [U]GIVEN THE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THIS MORNING'S ARTICLE[/U].
