Kansas Diallo Still Not Cleared by NCAA

"What is the NCAA Clearinghouse?

The NCAA Clearinghouse is an essential step in becoming eligible to play college sports. Over 180,000 potential college athletes register with the NCAA every year.

If you want to play NCAA college sports and receive a scholarship at the DI or DII level, you will need to register and be cleared by the NCAA. The Eligibility Center is the organization within the NCAA that determines the academic eligibility and amateur status for all NCAA DI and DII athletes."

For the record, it is now called the NCAA Eligibility Center.

A tad misleading. This process is strictly academic:

To get a scholarship, practice and compete in their first year, incoming freshmen must meet a series of academic requirements, including:

  • Complete 16 core courses, 10 of which must be completed before the beginning of senior year of high school. Of the 10 core courses, seven must be in English, math or science.
  • Earn a 2.3 grade-point average in the 16 core courses.
  • Meet the sliding scale requirement of GPA and test score (ACT or SAT).
  • Graduate from high school.
To get a scholarship and practice in the first year, incoming freshmen must:

  • Complete 16 core courses
  • Earn a 2.0 GPA in the 16 core courses
  • Meet the sliding scale requirement of GPA and test score (ACT or SAT).
  • Graduate from high school.

Brian, I don't think it is misleading at all. The NCAA Eligibility Center has questioned his school and academic record and have not yet cleared him to play. If he isn't cleared, he cannot play. That contradicts the post that I originally replied to. What am I missing?

Geez, give us a break. You have been around since 2002 and you cannot tell the difference between jabs at a rival and a kid?

Nobody is wishing harm to a kid's career, although in his case he will still get drafted and be a millionaire.

This is all about Kansas, lighten up Francis.

Francis/Francine says he wouldn't be giving KU fans too much crap until he knew for certain that all of the UK guys were good to go. As of now that is not the case

Do you have a link regarding his academics being in question? He attends a very good school. It is my understanding that the only questions surround his guardian, not his academics.

It has been falsely reported that his club team was his new prep school. He never left his high school to attend classes at reach Your Dream Prep, simply played on a basketball team. There is no evidence that the school even exists academically that I am aware of.

Do some research on Our Savior New American. Diallo isn't the only one. There are a few other recruits in the same classing dealing with issues. There have been others prior to this year. It sounds like there are way more issues here than with Skal. In fact, it seems all the issues with Skal have been brought up based on rumors and assumptions. There's no confirmation at all the NCAA is looking into it. While no mention to Diallo directly, there's definitely issues with his school.

You are right Diallo's teammate, Devon Dillard a Okie State commit after backing out of his commitment to California just cleared this morning. I think both Diallo and Skal will clear and play this season.
 
It's NOT misleading.

The criteria is posted. If you meet the criteria, you assume you're "cleared." Not being officially "cleared" could mean that someone hasn't reviewed or processed the paperwork yet. Not an actual issue with it.

That's why we never really hear about this stuff until an issue arises, to which a player will usually be labeled as "not yet eligible" or "ineligible."
 
Skal won't miss a single game.

Those around UK say he's good to go and the staff says he'll play from day 1.

Thus, UK doesn't have any eligibility issues despite what a particular poster on here wants to think.

Diallo's issue and Skal's issue are NOT the same, thus the premise of the post concerning the eligibility review is a bit misleading.

The basic premise of the clearinghouse is ACADEMIC.

Diallo's diploma mill has questionable academics.

Skal's issues are with his guardian. Not academics.

Yep. Anyone thinking it's an academic issue is very misinformed.

Also, no player is issued eligible until their file has been reviewed and cleared. Half of our team could be considered ineligible if their files have yet to be reviewed. Basketball falls under a Winter sport. Thus, the main focus of the NCAA currently is clearing Fall sports' athletes.

I'm aware. Which is why it's ridiculous for people to ask whether Skal is "cleared." Who is clearing him? They either find wrongdoing and punish him, or they don't.

Brian, Sorry, I think I got lost in the discussion between Skal and Diallo. It is Diallo who is being questioned about his academics, not Skal as we both know.

Anyone want to guess where Rodney Blackstock got money to funnel to McLemore came from? boosters. I remember McLemore's mother sitting with him in Austin, Tx., not to mention 10k. a custom 500 birthday cake.....anyone want to look at car rentals in St Louis when Ben had plenty of friend's and family at the party? Hotel rooms....airline tickets for his uncle to LA....(Ben couldn't remember if he paid for his or not....that means he didn't. Surprised the NCAA started looking and never heard anything else. Alexanders family definitely got money and Kansas should be forced to vacate every game he played in. We need to flood the NCAA offices in Indy with phone calls.

I think Diallo and Skal are both tough to get qualified. I hope they both do, will impact their future and the NCAA is pretty much garbage.

Diallo went to a diploma mill.

Skal went to a very good, legitimate high school.

Not even close in comparison academically.


Only issue with Skal is his guardian. Shouldn't be difficult for Skal to get qualified, the kid did nothing wrong and if there was any proof his guardian was paid we would most likely know about it by now.

Why would you most likely know it by now? Do guardians who take money come out and publicize it?

I never said he was ineligible. I said he went to a diploma mill, which you most likely did as well.

And btw, it is your coach's statements fueling the speculation...

“I don’t anticipate this being cleared up in the near future,” Self told The Star.

It's not going to be cleared up in the near future, because the NCAA works at a snail's pace.

Do you even understand why your second assertion is ludicrous? You want it to be true, but have no factual evidence that it IS true. Also, if I'm going to pay a player or his handlers, I'm not going to put an add in the paper or post it on my blog.

This site has a ton of great posters, you are one of the irrational ones.

I am irrational because I said Diallo and Skal's issues were different?

I never said Diallo was ineligible. You accused me of that, you sir are an idiot.

I am irrational because I noted my opinion that if Skal's guardian had done something terribly wrong it would be leaked by now? Just my opinion, is that irrational?

Your coach is the one worried about his player, he went to a suspect school.

Our coach says our player is 100% good to go.

You are a rival that comes over here to stir sh!t up. I don't remember you being here when we busted your ass nor did you visit after being demolished by Temple or getting knocked out the NCAA by lil bro.

I may be irrational, but you are just a punk who conjures things up to cause problems.

You tell that lame KU fan Brian. KU fans are like the retarded cousin of UK. They think they are close to UK's level, but it is quite comical how terrible they are when you really think about it. Thank God for D. Rose missing that FT in 2008 or KU would really be an irrelevant program like IU has become as far as not winning the big game.

You don't have to agree with my assertions, they are mine.

I have many more. Like KU is a dirty and classless program, and I can even provide a wide array of reasons for this assertion just during Cal's tenure while at UK.

Players fighting.
Coaches arrested for drugs.
Taylor continuously embarrassing the school.
McElmore recruitment was dirty.
Alexander getting loans

During a ‘no contact period’ as defined by NCAA rules, Self pays a visit to the #1 unsigned recruit in the nation John Wall, and states in front of witnesses:
Self: "I'm not supposed to be talking to you, and you know that, but I just wanted to tell you that was a great win." Demonstrating quite the bravado and respect for NCAA regulations for someone piloting a program on serious probation.

Confirmation comes in the Darrell Arthur case, that his grades were artificially changed and that his ‘graduation’ from high school wasn’t legit. His high school vacates their state championship for using ineligible players. Per NCAA rules the use of an ineligible player resulting from him violating the NCAA ethics clause, the proper application would result in forfeiture of all games participated. However, despite the school district and the local media already completing the legwork of the investigation and compiling the relevant information the NCAA never looks into the instance and instead forces Memphis to vacate all their wins during the same year for the same offense.

It is reported that Taylor’s entire family has moved from their impoverished inner city neighborhood in New Jersey to live in Lawrence,.

Scotty Bowden and Josh Selby.

Jayhawk senior Mario Little is arrested on charges of battery, criminal damage and criminal trespassing after engaging in physical acts of violence against two males and two females.


I do think Self is a solid basketball coach and I respect Kansas' record, and think you will be good this year.

But I also think you guys and your conference are vastly overrated and the NCAA has been too lenient in regards to the recent issues.

I also believe that your fan's jealousy of Cal has led to a hate filled passion and ruined a once mutually respectful rivalry.
