I hope someone tells us what was going on behind the scenes, but not if it’s going to make Z look bad.About damn time.
There's been some replies on that tweet saying it was some clearance issue with the NCAA. Apparently, UK thought he was cleared and wasn't? Citing amateurism, which is a big freaking joke.I hope someone tells us what was going on behind the scenes, but not if it’s going to make Z look bad.
Not yet I think. He's admitted but not cleared to play yet according to the tweets.Can we finally put this saga to bed?
I think this is a appeasement tweet. It won't take long now for full eligibility. And I doubt they would've let him in if he couldn't be cleared to play.Still has a path to eligibility? I don’t care if the kid can go to classes… is he gonna play or not?!??
I was reading your post and started laughing; just what the hell is an amateur in this new era?There's been some replies on that tweet saying it was some clearance issue with the NCAA. Apparently, UK thought he was cleared and wasn't? Citing amateurism, which is a big freaking joke.
How would it make him look bad? We've known the whole time it was UK admissions not letting him in because of a failed admissions test. That he re-took early last week. It was reported most everywhere that has a UK beat, something else could come out who knows, but as of now there isn't some conspiracy theory.I hope someone tells us what was going on behind the scenes, but not if it’s going to make Z look bad.
Ask the NCAA. Apparently the N now stands for naive.I was reading your post and started laughing; just what the hell is an amateur in this new era?
Why should anyone tell you?I hope someone tells us what was going on behind the scenes, but not if it’s going to make Z look bad.
Are you serious? If we are still waiting for an NCAA ruling on the kids amateurism status we are unequivocally screwed, well, blue.
It's not quite a nothing burger. He's admitted. Eligibility will follow. I don' think that they would've admitted him without him not being pretty much good to go.Are you seriously? If we are still waiting for an NCAA ruling on the kids amateurism status we are unequivocally screwed, well, blue.
This is no news at all then.
This sucks man, no way the BCAA lets him help bring Kentucky another title.
Damn, got my hopes up for absolutely nothing!
A nothing burger with fries and a DC plz!
You answered your own question. See how easy that was?How would it make him look bad? We've known the whole time it was UK admissions not letting him in because of a failed admissions test. That he re-took early last week. It was reported most everywhere that has a UK beat, something else could come out who knows, but as of now there isn't some conspiracy theory.
Shut up grandpaWhy should anyone tell you?
I hope your right bbn but anytime the NCAA and UK are involved in an amateurism discussion my skin begins to crawl.It's not quite a nothing burger. He's admitted. Eligibility will follow. I don' think that they would've admitted him without him not being pretty much good to go.
I understand, but there's no way they can use that argument with a straight face anymore. We've got college kids driving Lambo's. There's nothing amateur about it anymore.I hope your right bbn but anytime the NCAA and UK are involved in an amateurism discussion my skin begins to crawl.
Only prob is thats under the guise of the NCAAs NIL conditions. If he was playing for pay in Europe that's totally different right?I understand, but there's no way they can use that argument with a straight face anymore. We've got college kids driving Lambo's. There's nothing amateur about it anymore.
Probably in some stupid legalese. But there's no way they can enforce that without someone claiming bias. It would completely violate the spirit of the rules. "Sorry, you can't play because you made money...." Meanwhile:Only prob is thats under the guise of the NCAAs NIL conditions. If he was playing for pay in Europe that's totally different right?
USC’s Evan Mobley is another player who has secured a major NIL deal. Mobley signed a five-year deal with Nike and received a bonus of over $500,000. The deal grants him access to Nike’s design team and allows him to create his own signature shoe. Additionally, Mobley is part of the Nike Elite program, which gives him exclusive apparel and apparel designs.
That doesn’t quite fly. The school and program would look terrible if they wouldn’t let him in based on inability to play.I think this is a appeasement tweet. It won't take long now for full eligibility. And I doubt they would've let him in if he couldn't be cleared to play.
So far, it has been about that foreign student language test (TOEFLS??).. He retook the test in the last few days, and UK got word late yesterday he had passed.There's been some replies on that tweet saying it was some clearance issue with the NCAA. Apparently, UK thought he was cleared and wasn't? Citing amateurism, which is a big freaking joke.
That's just what's being said as of now. And it does some what add up, why admit someone when the purpose of them coming here would be to play? It would go for any other department. "Hey you don't qualify for the Comp Sci Department like you wanted, but we can get you in as a history major if you want?"That doesn’t quite fly. The school and program would look terrible if they wouldn’t let him in based on inability to play.
Yeah it seems that way but until it is finalized nothing is a guarantee…That's just what's being said as of now.

He still isn’t fully cleared apparently from the NCAA so we have to wait even longerThere's been some replies on that tweet saying it was some clearance issue with the NCAA. Apparently, UK thought he was cleared and wasn't? Citing amateurism, which is a big freaking joke.
It’s definitely good news, but the ncaa angle and him not being fully cleared by them with only 3 weeks until the season is a little unnervingSome of you are looking too far into this. Relax. Big Z will be gracing the court for UK this year.
Yeah, but at least he can fly over here and start practicing with the team, that is a huge deal.He still isn’t fully cleared apparently from the NCAA so we have to wait even longer
Yeah, that big and give Mitchell somebody to practice against. The NCAA has no clear guideline to who they make eligible.Yeah, but at least he can fly over here and start practicing with the team, that is a huge deal.
I feel like the NCAA has been neutered. They are a lot less of a deterrent now than they used to he.Yeah, that big and give Mitchell somebody to practice against. The NCAA has no clear guideline to who they make eligible.
The ones who you think should clearly be eligible they make sit out and the ones who are transferring for like a 3rd or 4th time they let have the waiver. So I don’t know what to expect with how they handle the big z amateurism side of things
