Sounds like I haven't missed much. Just waiting on the UK admin to get off their asses and do something.The University of Kentucky is having a panel of Nobel Prize literary laureates analyze his writings to make sure he's competent to take Physical Education 101.
It's extremely important that the university's standards earned by admitting 94 percent of those who either could pay or could get a taxpayer grant to pay for them are not diminished.
LHL’s Ben Roberts actually talked with UK admissions and the reality is that Ivisic could have till mid-October to get into UK. After reading the article I went from pessimistic to encouraged he will be part of the team.......but where are we with the Croatian Sensation?
Is he gone for sure, or are we still in limbo? I've been off the board for a few days and don't see anything definitive.
Go Big Blue.
Here’s what UK’s Jay Blanton told Roberts.LHL’s Ben Roberts actually talked with UK admissions and the reality is that Ivisic could have till mid-October to get into UK. After reading the article I went from pessimistic to encouraged he will be part of the team.
Their foreign student admissions rate is far less however at around 31%The University of Kentucky is having a panel of Nobel Prize literary laureates analyze his writings to make sure he's competent to take Physical Education 101.

Is he willing to wait that long is the next question.LHL’s Ben Roberts actually talked with UK admissions and the reality is that Ivisic could have till mid-October to get into UK. After reading the article I went from pessimistic to encouraged he will be part of the team.
I think he would have already backed out if he didn't think this would go through. I'm not popping any bottles of champagne yet but it's looking pretty good.Is he willing to wait that long is the next question.
Yeah, I'm not celebrating until it's done. I'll be glad then. But this has still dragged out too long.I think he would have already backed out if he didn't think this would go through. I'm not popping any bottles of champagne yet but it's looking pretty good.
The biggest question now is whether Z will take the test again or not. The test results seem to be the stopping block right now. Sources have said that he's standing his ground that he believes he's done everything he needs to do to be admitted and will not take the test again. So, we shall see.I think he would have already backed out if he didn't think this would go through. I'm not popping any bottles of champagne yet but it's looking pretty good.
40-0
Those sources were also putting out a lot of bad info. That's why Blanton tweeted there was bad info out there and that UK was concentrating on getting him into school. Notice all the talking heads and writers who were drumming up anxiety about Ivisic have gone mostly quiet.The biggest question now is whether Z will take the test again or not.

This was said last week (Wednesday) by Jack Pilgrim. IMO, If UK was requiring nothing else from him, he would be in. I believe that is where the stand still is. Of course, I could be way off...wouldn't be the first time.Those sources were also putting out a lot of bad info.

Funny how the university isn't concerned with getting 'good info' out there so 'bad info' can be discredited. They just clam up and say nothing.Those sources were also putting out a lot of bad info.

Thank you Jimmy, you smartass contributions will never not be appreciatedAs if you know
What the Hell, is he that damn dumb? Maybe we pull a D Rose and have someone else take the test.The biggest question now is whether Z will take the test again or not.

This is my thought....I don't think it's that he's not smart. I think other schools are chirping in his ear that he can get in to their university right now without anything else, so he's standing his ground with UK.What the Hell, is he that damn dumb? Maybe we pull a D Rose and have someone else take the test.
That’s how I feel about it. The fact that we aren’t hearing him announce he’s not coming is goodThis is probably my own bias and me just ignoring reality...
BUT....
At this point, I think the longer this drags out with no news, maybe the better it actually is.
If he was going to bail and go to another school, I think he would have done it by now OR will do it extremely soon (this week?)
If we keep going with no news, I think that means he still sees a path to being here, and he still WANTS to be here.
So maybe the longer this drags out, the better news for us?

i am sure you understand that because of federal laws they can not say muchFunny how the university isn't concerned with getting 'good info' out there so 'bad info' can be discredited. They just clam up and say nothing.
Cats got about as much chance going 40-0 as the bengals winning the super bowl40-0
Sometimes it seems like the local media down there are rooting against us. They learned from the best: Jerry TiptonThose sources were also putting out a lot of bad info.

No, he would be a fully enrolled student and eligible to play on November 6th. Mid-semester classes aren't what you think. It just means the class happens more often to get 3 credits over a shorter period of time or he has to take a bunch of 1 or 2 credit classes to be considered a full-time student. It won't be easy to have an entire schedule of mid-semester classes.Partial semester classes? Why have we never known about these? I bet all the top players would prefer to take that route
The question is, if admitted in October, under the guise of partial semester classes, when could he start playing? My guess is 2nd semester. Thanks UK.
What sources? Nearly every single thing you read here is wrong, extracted out of context, or completely fabricated. Basically you have to be a fool to believe anything except a direct quote from the involved parties. The player has said nothing publicly. The University has said they are working through some issues. Quite literally every single thing beyond that is just bullshit.The biggest question now is whether Z will take the test again or not. The test results seem to be the stopping block right now. Sources have said that he's standing his ground that he believes he's done everything he needs to do to be admitted and will not take the test again. So, we shall see.
who has reported Z refuses to retake test. I was thinking that was the hold up.......Are we waiting on a waiver still?The biggest question now is whether Z will take the test again or not.

Well stated.i am sure you understand that because of federal laws they can not say much
just like with any recruit the schools and coaches are very limited on what can be said
so the bad info flows freely and the people that know a situation are not allowed to say much
the best advice is to sit back and see how it plays out and quit reading, listening to all the talking heads that know just enough to look foolish
Bet he takes the test again if Cal finds some more NIL money 😁The biggest question now is whether Z will take the test again or not. The test results seem to be the stopping block right now.

Nor should he wait. I'm looking at it from both sides.
You would think so but also I think how can this possibly take so long. I mean you have the face of the university(Calipari) and presumably some big money people on the university’s ass to get this done. I just can’t fathom this situation at all.This is probably my own bias and me just ignoring reality...

That is true, we're just kinda stuck in limbo. He could be here or gone at any moment.That’s how I feel about it. The fact that we aren’t hearing him announce he’s not coming is good
Ah yes....great leadership practices non-transparency. I've lost some respect for Capilouto during this.I totally agree.
And the lack of news or rumors or ANYTHING coming out of this situation is bizarre.
My guess is that Capilouto made some calls and essentially told everyone to shut the f*ck up about this situation until it's resolved (one way or another).
He probably knows that the MBB staff leaked the issues, and I'm sure that made him pretty angry, so he's told the entire university to batten down the hatches and that there better not be another leak or rumor until it's resolved.
So I am guessing that's what the silence is all about in the meantime.
