Best player from last year was academically ineligible all season, and the guy they thought would be their best player this season never got eligible.Originally Posted by Boston Red
That falls on the head coach, but it really wasn't his fault.
Majerle is a good coach. He'd be a phenomenal "get" as an assistant just about anywhere.
Imagine being academically ineligible at Grand Canyon. Yikes.

I got a kick out of GCU calling themselves a premier, mid-major basketball destination.
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"

Wonder if Cal would take him if Joel Justus gets the UNC-Wilmington job?
It's a Christian university too so Pitino would have no problems fitting in.
Seriously, I understand their game experience doesn't take a back seat to very many teams.
You're right, I've seen some of the videos from their games and their student section. And they seem to have an unlimited budget. Still, something about the place gives me the heebie jeebies.It's a Christian university too so Pitino would have no problems fitting in.

Never mind. They hired Takayuo Sidde (?)
They would have handled my team and your team that season. They were clearly the best team in Florida.
it is stigmatized from originally being an online school. Supposedly they have built a decent expanding campus and are trying hard to move past that reputation, but it will take time. I am pretty sure that is where we drafted Quin Cotton from last summer.
after thinking about the proposals of giving Seniors in Winter Sports such as basketball another year of eligibility, I think it will just lead to more problems. I get the terrible situation, but giving Seniors another season will negatively impact current hs recruits, Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors by squeezing their playing time and opportunity. The truth is for the majority of the 300+ D1 basketball programs act in a similar manner to a high school where players playing time and opportunity expand each year as they develop and the Seniors graduate.
Spring sport athletes are different since they truly were robbed of a season, but I think you have to give everyone currently enrolled an additional year, and not limit it to Seniors. Why is it fair for a Junior to lose his/her Junior Season any more than it is for a Senior to lose their Senior Season? The problem there is most of those athletes are not on full scholarships, and will not simply stay in school for an additional season when they could obtain professional employment.
I think it’s much ado about nothing, at least at the higher collegiate level.
Anyone who was a senior was likely flirting with the draft last year when they were a junior. Cassius Winston, Myles Powell, Udoka Azubuike, and Markus Howard all come to mind. They are all north of 21, will have their degree in hand, and despite what they say now will have a harder time turning down millions in the NBA.
That's not saying much
I knew where it was headed....

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
Dayton is clearly the national champs
To me it was pretty obvious that this was East Tennessee State's year.
