Possible good news re: Ivisic

[HagginHall1999]

Per "those in the know" this is potentially huge news regarding Ivisic likely getting cleared by NCAA if that is all we are waiting on.

This kid below is currently being sued by a professional team overseas for breach of contract. It was apparently considered very questionable if he would be approved to play and reading Ivisic situation nowhere near as complicated.

So no real news about big Z, you are just going on expecting the ncaa to be consistent?

 

[Tampa_cat54]

OP is right- this is good news. No world in which the UCLA kid gets eligibility and not Big Z, given their situations.

Hope we hear something about Big Z early next week- Cal won't roll him out in his first game against KU, so he needs to be cleared before Texas A&M Commerce if we hope to see him in the KU game.

Same goes with Bradshaw, Cal's 1 or 2 week timeline, if it's 1 week, would be the Commerce game- I doubt Bradshaw plays in the KU game though unfortunately.

That is good news, but the cans has not consistency to how they do things unfortunately. So one guy getting cleared doesn’t mean another will be. But calipari being confident he gets cleared has to mean something

 

[IroquoisPliskin]

Lots of players waiting I imagine

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

If the ncaa follows the same timeline Ivisic will be cleared by December 2nd

Holding my breath!

We'll be lucky to have him by Jan 1, if at all. They'll find something to hang up on, just watch.

Kind of ridiculous it takes that long. It is pretty much unacceptable.

NCAA is a joke always has been, I hope they speed it up for big z, because his situation isn’t that difficult

It’s bad that I can see a scenario where that happens. Mara getting cleared is good news though for bigz

[Wildcats1st]

When cal brought him in he knew it was a long shot to get him through admissions and eligible. It was a jack move to make the fans happy pretending he addressed a need. He knows. Cal knows. I’m glad though he decided to ditch the pjs and and try to look professional again

 

[Blueisbest]

Big Z will be the last one to get cleared, if they don't screw us and deny it.

 

[the stat man]

*cough*shaedonsharpe*cough*

Just let it go dude good flipping grief

 

[Smashcat]

Wouldn't surprise me if Z cam off the bench tomorrow night against NMSU. Of course I'm not betting the rent money on that.😜

Correct. There's no way Cal will play Bradshaw against KU if he hasn't played prior or it's his first college game.

Even though a game like this is why you come to play for the Wildcats, Cal will say it would be unfair to put Bradshaw in that situation expecting him to succeed. The pressure is too much and the spotlight is the brightest.

I say if he's available play him, and let's see if he's who they say he is. At least he'll know where he stands and what to work on moving forward. However, I think they'll play it safe and keep him out to not hinder draft stock.

It means cow is being cow, he'll say what he thinks we want to hear.

Pretty much, considering you can get any document needed in about 1 minutes of download if that. Should take no longer than a week and that includes all calls/emails to find out what is needed.

 

[NociHTTP]

Just let it go dude good flipping grief

Nope. Cal proved that he was willing to go to great lengths to protect a player, and give the player's camp what they wanted, in order to be able to say he put the kid in the NBA. Until Cal proves he's willing to do things in favor of the University of Kentucky winning titles, we'll just have to assume that it's not his top priority.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

It will be a cold day in hell before the NCAA clears our guy.

Unless its a passport or a tax return!

Correct. There's no way Cal will play Bradshaw against KU if he hasn't played prior or it's his first college game.

I could definitely see him out there for a few minutes if Mitchell gets in foul trouble.

exactly right.........he cares nothing about the university, the fans or the tradition
He thinks he is greater than all of that & cares only about draft night
He deserves nothing from the fans but doubt

How many clips of the team practicing did we see this summer? How many clips of Big Z with the team practicing have we seen? Didn't used to be that way.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

This whole process for big z is gonna drag along all year isn’t it

 

[Tampa_cat54]

What makes you say that? I haven't seen or heard anything to make me think this will take much longer. Maybe another week or 2 tops but I don't see this dragging out all year.

It took them a while with mara from ucla and he started at ucla a little while before Ivisic started at UK, so if they follow that same timeline he would be cleared December 2nd, but the problem is the ncaa has no clear timeline at all, and could do it tommrrow or wait until January, there isn’t any pattern at all. I just see them taking their time on this

UK admissions shoulders the lion's share of blame on this one (at this point) for not getting him admitted and paperwork submitted in a timely fashion

There's no need for elaborate analysis: just take Calipari at his word. He has written that his first responsibility is to the players in his charge. If you're a history teacher, your first responsibility is to teach students history. If you're a math teacher, your first responsibility is to teach students mathematics. Etc. Calipari is a basketball coach. His responsibility is to teach kids to play basketball.

When the university decides that the coach's first responsibility is to win the NCAA Tournament, they can take that up with Calipari.

You know that

 

[true blue1]

I would love for Big Z to get cleared and be eligible to play tonight. The NCAA needs to stop dragging their feet!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Listening to local sports radio, out and about.. and this is a problem that's hitting a lot of different schools. Siena is currently waiting for the NCAA to clear on of their transfers, and with a game being played tonight, they are speculating if the clearance could even come before the tip off.
