How does a COLLEGE “make sure” a kid can graduate HS?

We couldn’t even “make sure” Fab stayed eligible, and he was enrolled already.

Please. You’re embarrassing yourself.

a COLLEGE will literally tell him what he does / doesn’t have to do to be eligible, and guide him through every big decision. I certainly hope the coaching staff was heavily involved and overseeing his school situation. It’s not like you or me in which the school doesn’t care if we get kicked out or whatever, there were lots of people and lots of money heavily invested in him.

Communication is a two way street.

Wow Buddy declaring early for the draft!

I took that to mean play for three more years because of the free year. But could have been a sarcastic answer too. Either way seems clear they didn’t think Dior would ever play in college. Not surprising to most. Better the optics played out now than a year or two from now.

Maybe the bridge was burnt, and Dior felt we needed him more than he needed us. Now we find ourselves here.

if thats the case, fine with it

Which guys do we think they are recruiting, but they aren’t really recruiting. Maybe we aren’t missing out on as many guys as we all think.

Should we start any other threads about players that SU apparently has no offers or interest around

I guess we won't be seeing him in the Dome . . . .

 

[pwong]

Think the initial report was Dior was arrested then Dior was like I didn’t get arrested, I just came out of practice. But seems like it’s just a charge for now.

This article shows a tweet claiming it's not the same Dior Johnson, but someone commented on the tweet that they have the same date of birth, so it kind of seems like it is actually him. Report: Pitt G Dior Johnson Not Charged With Assault Despite Claim
