Diallo not approved yet, where's Goodman?

[ScrapIrony]

Your post is pointless. You provide no points relevant to why he has not been cleared. It certainly isn't in the interests of the NCAA to keep such a touted player ineligible. There must be an issue or he would be ready to play. Post all the relevant facts from his entire high school curriculum that show him to be eligible. His intelligence is irrelevant, as well as work completed at, cough, bread co. says we have lots of national titles, university.
Aside, if you're concerned for the kid, rest easy. He can study this year and will be drafted if he chooses regardless if he plays college bball. He can also go play for money now elsewhere.
I wonder if you expressed similar concerns regarding Kanter? Point being he was not harmed by the situation, UK was. So take your boo hoo "it's about what's fair for the kid" elsewhere.
And shove your shame on you up your a$$.

How old are you?

I am a Kentucky fan, moron. Read the board to verify.

The point of my posts are that this is an NCAA issue only. They suck and have a remarkably poor history when comes to foreign-born players. They don't care much one way or another because they still get their billions, no matter who's eligible. And who's not. as you, a reputed Kentucky fan, should well know.

And he is most certainly harmed by not playing. To insist otherwise is to ignore the reality of competition and recency bias that exists in the NBA Draft. It's hurting the kid because, frankly, this wouldn't happen to a kid born here in America. It hurts the kid because it can hurt his draft stock. This hurts the fans who like to see good basketball played by the best in the world.

It doesn't seem to hurt juvenile idiots who can't read and comprehend basic logic, though.

So that's good, I guess.

 

[ScrapIrony]

And that more or less goes for any school, not just Kansas. When they deal with what Kentucky seems to deal with, every year.. then they can talk. Until then, I feel sympathy for NO ONE.

Again, it's not the team.

It's the person.

Diallo deserves to play. Simple as that.

Stuffing his face with acorns!

Gotta be one of the best posts ever!! Hilarious!!

 

[buckkiller]

I could give a crap hope he never clears so Kansas knows what it is like to be in the Kanter situation. Screw Kansas and their fans can't stand them. They remind me of UL fans.

 

[RondoBaller21]

It's not a Kansas issue because the Jayhawks didn't do anything wrong in his recruitment. Nor did Diallo do anything wrong.

This is entirely on the NCAA because they don't know what to do with foreign guys.

IT is a kansas issue on the court. Without diallo, they're very average team.

 

[Clive Gollings]

I was yapping about you and your knowledge of the NCAA Eligibility Center. I always wanted to Skal to clear and always though he would.

Will KU have an official announcement if Diallo is cleared?

Is that how they do it "out there"?

I feel like you're holding back a smidge, I think you should let loose and tell us how you REALLY feel.

 

[RC_Texas]

Maybe. Kansas could do it just like Purdue and when the athletic department announced Swanigan was eligible. Maybe it will be given to Garry Parrish and he can tweet it out like he did for Skal.

If you like, I will make sure you know.

I guess I was wrong....not every college basketball fan is pulling for the kids.

 

[Xception]

Karma for the Skal thread when they thought the script was flipped .

 

[pikespeak1]

If he is not allowed to play, Self can give his scholarship to a walk on. I'm rooting for that walk on. That way I can "pull for the kids" and pull against the hair piece.

How would taking a scholarship away from a kid be the right thing to do. Do you think that is justice? Kansas will stand by their commitment to Diallo and not take his scholarship away. It's the right thing to do.

Nobody is as bad as UL fans, lets keep it real.

I personally hopes he gets cleared in time to play us so Kansas won't have any excuses when we whip thier sorry A$$es

Loading his mouth

 

[martinsm30]

UK had to face the NCAA injustice system with Kanter and now Kansas has to face it with Diallo. Diallo will make his case and the NCAA will say "yay" or "nay" and that is it. I wonder where Anderson23 went? Anyone seen a post from that woodfordreserve poster recently? You know posers who were actually KU fans.

 

[DodgerDukie1985]

Diallo will be very hard to replace on the current Kansas roster. He has much more talent that Mickelson, Traylor or Lucas. And, Ellis is a different player when he has a more dominate BIG playing next to him. He needs to have a dominate BIG next to him.

Surprised to see no mention of Carlton Bragg. Have to imagine he could see serious minutes if Diallo isn't cleared since he was a consensus 4/5 star guy. With Diallo, he could be brought along a little more slowly.

IT is a kansas issue on the court. Without diallo, they're very average team.

Still think they'd be pretty good (maybe not by their standards, but by average program standards as well as Big 12 standards). Could win the Big 12 without him, but they wouldn't be a Final Four/top 5 team unless Selden (he was a consensus 5 star) and someone else take major steps forward from last season.

well thats a pretty low bar. those guys pretty much suck.

This is why I was surprised to hear no mention of Carlton Bragg, but maybe I'm missing something there (he hasn't shown them enough in practice/scrimmages).

thats because self has to hold him back. cant let him go pro after this year. their recruiting class is garbage and likely not going to be that good. need to get as many players to return for that big 12 title run next year

 

[LineSkiCat14]

With UK and now Duke gobbling up recruits for the foreseeable future.. this might be it for Kansas and the Self era.

 

[Orange Soda King]

i mean...he speaks multple pointless african languages.

Woo boy...

 

[Orange Soda King]

Also, this thread is embarrassing as a UK fan.

 

[kentucky_wildcat_#1]

I hope he gets to Play so we don't have to hear KU fans cry all year long and make excuses when we go to their arena and beat their azz. Let's be real here. I don't know the kid personally and couldn't care less about him. I could be pc and Pretend to wish the kid well. My only hoping he gets to Play is the fact I don't wanna see KU fans whine and think with him they could win a national championship. With or without their guards can't hang with ours and our bigs can hang and most likely out play theirs. Case closed, we win.

I don't think the case is close yet...I still think they will play the game.

 

[wesr]

Both schools recruited Diallo so this easily could be UKs problem.

I'm 36 years old and laughed wayyy too hard at this!

true. and ku fans would be crapping all over Cal and UK claiming how dirty and shady the program is. zero chance they would be defending the kid and claiming how smart he was because he speaks 4 languages.

4 languages!!!

Like I said before, I didn't see any KU fans rooting for Skal to be ruled ineligible.

You sure do use the notion of "what KU fans would do" a lot to justify doing that very thing.

Too busy trashing Cal and UK's 'hillbilly' fans.

 

[Lumpy 2]

They need to make their rulings in both the Diallo and Alexander cases.

 

[Orange Soda King]

It's awful how the NCAA lets these investigations go on past the beginning of the season.

 

[mebeblue2]

yes it is
the NCAA guys need to do a much better job or find a new job

 

[Montana81]

How would taking a scholarship away from a kid be the right thing to do. Do you think that is justice? Kansas will stand by their commitment to Diallo and not take his scholarship away. It's the right thing to do.

Diallo is gonna be rich one way or the other. The walk on could probably use that tuition money

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Thanks. Sounds like us losing Kanter a few years back.

"That's so unfair that Kentucky lost Kanter!" - said no Kansas fan during the 2010-2011 season.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Has Diallo been invited to the White House? Above poster is correct, he will be drafted regardless if he plays or not.
Weighted classes at a basketball factory? That is a first.
Kansas fans are scum, all they do is talk BS on our players, coach, and program

Someone needs to tell Self not to worry if Diallo can't play, because he is clearly a "pro already."

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

IT is a kansas issue on the court. Without diallo, they're very average team.

Which raises an ethical question for any fan of any team: how many opposing fans in these scenarios actually would want the kid eligible in a winner-take-all tournament setting?

Were UConn fans hoping WCS would play in the national title? Were Wisconsin fans wanting to see Poythress check Dekker last season?

I think we know the answer to these questions. Obviously, only sick individual enjoy watching an injury or an ineligibility as it happens in real time, but how many fans are secretly okay with the absence of a player on gameday? I'd say the overwhelming majority who actually pay attention.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

They need to make their rulings in both the Diallo and Alexander cases.

The Alexander case has already been filed away with the Myron Piggie/Cory Maggette saga. You can also find a nice file on Lance Thomas in there, as well as some incriminating photos of a coked-out Mark Emmert dressed in a leather-clad leotard and he spoon feeds a Ukrainian male prostitute dripping syrup and mint-chocolate chip ice cream.
