What the heck

 

[jdubs30]

The coaches comments make more sense now

 

[GooseMutt]

In case you visit, hope you’re doing well young man. I miss watching you breaking opponents ankles with your crossovers. Best wishes get well soon!

 

[dasher]

I would bet my life savings on him being a one and done but I am comfortable that year will be here.

Don't do that.

 

[UpstateSM]

Don't do that.

Well I don’t like that

 

[Niastri]

Well I don’t like that

No bet is worth that much!

 

[Briancuse]

Don't do that.

You think he's staying more than a year?

 

[dasher]

You think he's staying more than a year?

LOL No I think it may end being a problem that he can't stay at any high school.

[dasher]

he won't be playing or going to school at Oak Hill

 

[CuseFaninVT]

he won't be playing or going to school at Oak Hill

So is he officially truant right now?

 

[GooseMutt]

Great time to focus on class work and grades

Where?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Where?

He went back home to rehab his injury.

He went back home to rehab his injury.

And...

Is he actually in school now, or is he taking a mid-high school gap year? Is that legal in NY? I forget how old the young man is, so I'm actually curious.

No idea.

I assume he could still be taking classes on-line. Either from Oak Hill or his next stop.

In NY, you are required to attend school through the school year you turn 16. Per some quick research, Dior turned 16 back in January, so he is not legally required to attend. Of course, absent him being home-schooled (which actually still requires home school district involvement), he's not going to be in a position to matriculate at the end of 2022 if he un-enrolls now. (I recognize this is probably fallacy as his next school will be something like "Wasatch Range Christian Dream Achievement Institute" and they will find a way to get him eligible).

Having said all of that, it's very possible he is back in NY, enrolled in his school district of residence, and attending (in person, hybrid model, or virtually). I have no clue.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

So, looks like he is 16. If his legal residence is NY, then he must be attending school. Now.

Looks like I misinterpreted the NY requirements. Thanks.

i'm sure he is. even if he's considering taking the g-league elite route. i don't think the nba wants to create the precedence of bringing in kids without a high school diploma.

at least not yet . . . .

 

[dasher]

Well, he isn't in any high school at this time. And it's October

That's weird. I saw him at the Staples in Saugerties buying some colored pencils and some loose leaf paper. All the colored pencils were Orange.

There was talk about him reclassifying to class of '21. I assume this was a possibility only because he could complete the core graduation requirements by this June/Aug. If that is/was the case it's probably not that big a problem to take a gap semester and complete them by next June/Aug. Now, whether he is legally truant is a different question altogether. If he is not actually enrolled in a public school, my guess is that the truant officer isn't going to come looking for him.
