Branham doesn't think Ivisic ends up at UK

That is true, but I think most major schools offer mid-semester classes, including UK.
Thanks for the info. Obviously would be an option too. I wonder how difficult it would be take a full load of mid-semester classes?
Well if it's true what makes you think cal will bend to them? Has he ever shown signs of a pushover? He may stay the remainder of contract just to spite of that's the case.
Pilgrim said he got another negative text today, re: Z. Says backup plan would only come to fruition if there is another injury or setback with Bradshaw/Ugo...would be a Cyril January enroll.
It's Cal's fault for waiting until the last second to snag another big man. Now there is no time left to find any replacement.
It’s time to email all three departments to let them know this is unacceptable. Let them know we will not support the university through donations and such if this isn’t rectified. Do your thing bbn.

There is some type of drama every year since Cal has been here.
It’s not CALs fault the admissions department are being ridiculous and letting the guy/replacement in. I get being upset at cal for some things but this is not his fault at all
Yeah, but Cal mismanaged the portal. We discussed it at length through the early summer. Cal waited on Oscar for some reason and missed out on a lot of good bigs that would have been as good, or better than Z.
I have no idea why he thought Oscar was coming back. Oscar even told him to try to bring in other players. It seems like Cal.is always scrambling to find pieces late in the game almost every year.
I will agree with that for sure, I just think mixing the two isn’t fair on cal, it’s clear somebody or a group in that admissions deparment is trying to make a statement to cal and the basketball program
Hope you stretched before that giant reach. Conspiracy brain = lack of critical thinking skills.
You lost me. Mixing what two things?
Honestly, I don't think it's clear that the admissions department is sending a message. I think it’s clear we don't have all the information about what's going on.
It’s more likely there is a huge red flag with regards to Z's qualifications and we probably don't know what it is, because it could make Z look bad.
I agree there but this shouldn’t be a problem as it is.
Mixing CALs earlier mistakes with what the admissions department is doing now, the two aren’t events that play off one another in any way, and some are pairing the two to get shots off at cal. I don’t believe the red flags with Z, it’s Kentucky admissions department being petty.
We wouldn't be in this situation if Cal had resolved the big man issue instead of waiting around for Oscar.
Of course that assumes a top big man would sign with KY with Oscar still undecided and looking like he might go undrafted.
The portal is a 2 way street, and its fantasy to assume a TOP big man wouldn't factor everything in before coming to UK. And having Oscar and the 7ft freshman (and with about a 2 week Ugo) ....... it was a tall order until Oscar decided, and still tough until the injuries.

All this fretting over a back up that will see the floor 5 minutes a game once he's here.
WTF is wrong with some of you?
You gotta look for reasons to hate?

Lol Do your homework before you act holier than thou hombre.
Dude is a projected 1st rounder is over 7 feet tall and has handles, passing and shooting skills like a damn guard.
May very well have been the best player or at least most impactful player on UK.
Huge loss.
PS How bought them Cincinnati Reds?
Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, I agree.
But I think what they are saying is that Cal shouldn't even be in this position. If he didn’t wait on Oscar, who said he wasn't coming back, he would have grabbed one or two good 5's out of the portal before they committed elsewhere.
It’s crazy how he ended up landing Mitchell. Can you imagine how screwed we would be if Huggs didn’t get fired?
Oscar made it very clear he wasn't returning. Cal is the one that was holding out hope he was coming back, but Oscar and Chris made it very clear they were not returning.
It was weird how Cal held on to the hope that both of those guys were coming back. Heck, Klutch was crushing Cal for how he played Chris, they weren't letting him come back, but Cal acted like he was. Stupid move.
You're so programmed to defend Cal that you continue to make crazy statements. Z is a projected 1st round pick. Those type of players don’t typically sit the bench.
It's a classic deflection maneuver. He's a Cal acolyte so rather than hold Cal accountable he just says the player sucks anyway.
He's a troll. Everyone just block em.
His posts are so far off of reality, the only explanation is that he's either a huge troll, or he's one of Cal's kids.
General article in LexHerald this morning on general UK admissions, mid-semester enrollment, etc.. (may be behind paywall)
maybe I'm just being glass half full person, but the fact that we have heard nothing, including BigZ asking out of his LOI, indicates he and UK are still working on some options.

He did resolve the situation he went and got a player and something out of his control is stopping the player from being here
From that article, and Blanton was consulted, Ivisic could have till mid-October to get enrolled. Sounds to me like there's a good chance he will be part of the team. I was getting pessimistic until seeing this. Good work by Ben Roberts.
I was told it's a visa issue. Easy to blame someone else but just what I have heard..
He can't get a student visa until he's admitted into college. It seems that from the statement UK put out and the info coming from some sources, he has not been admitted. Until he's admitted, no visa.
It's a visa issue as well because he can't get a student visa until he's admitted.
No it's not. You get a student visa the moment you're admitted into college. This is a UK issue.
