Sorry if this has been talked about in another thread, but is Big Z cleared to play by the NCAA?

Pilgrim said earlier this week, that UK has done all the "Pre-work", and doesn't expect any issues with the NCAA or amateurism.

And I don't think Calipari would have tweeted this morning about all the challenges BigZ has had to overcome to play for UK... unless it was pretty clear, he was playing.

The NCAA stance is when he becomes a student athlete at your University we will then respond to his eligibility. So that has been a waiting game too.

UK has been doing behind the scenes work with the NCAA regarding this issue for a while now. This is a non factor.

You would think in today's world of 5G,zoom and all the other apps, this stuff can get done before Kansas game but then again I switched doctors couple months ago and Im still waiting on records.....And they with-in 30 mins of each other.

Pilgrim doesn't know what he's talking about. Even he doesn't know what he's going to say until he says it.

So, in other words, he basically communicates the same way that you do on this message board: filling the world with incohesive, drunken-stupor-level nonsense?

Except Pilgram actually does a good job. But then again, that dude is a high level booster, and went to Drakes house with the team over the summer. 🤡

LOL!

Thanks, I was looking for a new fantasy basketball team name. Bluegrass Hoopers will work just fine.

Wonder if he is getting to practice with the team. Tomorrow is Pro day, does he get to participate with that as well?

 

[WildcatFan60]

One of the sports guys said he intended to be here for Pro day.
UK just released official sports poster and BigZ was NOT on it. (doubt it means anything)

They took that picture weeks ago and have to submit it to the poster company at ;east 3 weeks prior to get them here in time for BBM.

Would have been hard to have him here for the photoshoot.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Do we think big z plays in any of the exhibitions games in 2 weeks

 

[mcwildcats04]

Per Pilgrim just now, listed him as "doubtful" for Pro Day and "questionable" for BBM. Think he still said they expect him here this week.

To participate or be there?

Didn't say but just saw where Greenberg tweeted that Big Z will be on campus on Thursday.

I hope they can at least announce him and let him get a huge ovation at BBM. Even if he doesn’t participate on court.

 

[Mike-D]

Big Z will be on campus Thursday, per Seth Greenburg.

He already has a wooden shoe deal with NIKE

[Dontworryboutit23]

Unrelated but I saw some Quaintance or whatever his last name buzz or people talking about it, hopefully cal and the staff lock that recruitment up

 

[NociHTTP]

If UK actually has him available to play, he's going to be a lot of fun to watch. Euro players just seem so smooooooove.

Where ya been, Smoove?

Wooden shoe? Need to study cultures and world geography 101.
