Has It Been Announced Officially That Big Z Will Not Be Attending UK?
- Thread starter shadowman4
- Start date
I have only seen other sites saying it is a longshot that he will now be coming to UK. I have seen zero from anyone at the University saying he is officially ineligible. I think posters in the other thread are assuming that this means he is done as a possibility at playing for UK but nothing official yet that I can find.
Don’t know but I’d think if they weren’t still working on it he’d ask out of LOI
Nothing official, but the longer it drags on, the lower the chance.
I am thinking the same as previous replier. If he knew he wasn’t going to get into UK, he would’ve asked out of his letter of intent to go elsewhere. I think we still have a shot.
I would imagine they are still working on this. The season is almost here and while that applies to Kentucky, it applies to everyone else as well.. If Ivisic truly had no shot at playing here, he'd be best to hurry to another school, go theoruhg their admissions, and start to get acclimated to the team and campus.. And the fact that this hasn't happened yet seems like a good sign to me.
😂 it’s official! UK is just trying to give the fans a cooling off period. Before the break the news!
Big Z’s ship have sailed🙄😡

A LOI means jack shit nowadays. When and if he wants out, he will be let out. That has zero to do with this.
Heard somewhere that it could be announced within the hour. 😝
Let’s just move on, add Z to another what if player, who almost played for UK.

Ben Roberts says there’s still time for Big Z to get cleared.
At this point we gotta be looking at 2nd Semester as best case scenario. Cal will play him 6 mins a game, hesitant to work him into the rotation during SEC play. He’ll talk throughout the conference slate that he’s “getting him in some action in certain spots, getting him ready for next year…” Which on the surface suggests a return, but doesn’t actually mean anything. He shows flashes during the opening weekend in the tournament getting significant first half minutes, actually contributing to building the lead. Cal hypes him up as a possible X factor, but doesn’t play him in the Sweet 16 loss. Y’all know the rest…
Thank God you posted this, there aren't already enough threads asking this same thing already.
If he is cleared to play at Kentucky(which I think is beyond ever happening at this point) ivisic will have a “LSU @home game” like Bryce Hopkins did and for the rest of the season cal will say what about big Z I gotta play him more, then he will never play him the rest of the year

He’s not trying to take some other kids heart by playing him either!
The admissions person the Herald Leader spoke too today, said a student can enroll for mid-term classes in October. As long as they take 12 hours, the NCAA considers them full time and eligible.
There was nothing official on Sharpe either until the 11th hour, but they still knew the whole time that there wasn't a chance he was playing after the February meeting in 2022 with Calipari.
From day one, there was never a chance that he was going to play at Kentucky.
Having grown up in Lexington during the 70's and 80's, the thought that this kid is not academically eligible to attend, and play basketball for the University of Kentucky, is, well, laughable.
UK is displaying a breathtaking lack of self-awareness IMO.
Love UK. Attended UK. Donates to UK.
That being said; UK sometimes chooses very bizarre hills to "die on"...

Feel bad for the young man and our BB program seems a few months ago he was ready to be here but then everything was where the admission dept would not let him in.
He can't come to the US until he's enrolled somewhere and gets his student visa
mostly the doom and gloom is from Cal haters...they are hoping he does not come so they have one more reason to bash..
Ridiculous. Everyone wants to see a winning team in rupp. No one is pulling for failure. The problem for cal is cal and every season mega drama. That has nothing to do with fans. The fans show up. Cal has haters because he has provoked the fanbase and lost big. If he would endear himself to the fanbase and get back to winning things could be fine depending on his attitude. The ball is in his court and has been.
Can someone good at explaining things sit me down here and explain to my simple mind why this has become an issue. I need the guy sitting on the store porch sipping a coke and peanuts version. Thanks in advance. I’ll be here rocking
It's become an issue because what should've been our rubber-stamped insurance policy against the possibility that neither of our inujured bigs return fully healthy has potentially become the bureaucratic red tape reason for our season to once again end prematurely because of being "one player short".
International students from certain countries need to pass an English entrance exam to get into UK. He did not pass the reading portion of the exam. UK admissions also has the ability to waive that requirement if they wish to do so. So far, they have not done that.
