Cal rightly stays away again. It's uncanny how good Cal is at not taking these guys who end up having issues.
N'Faly Dante ineligible
- Thread starter JFCats22
- Start date

Fairly big blow, but it looks like he still is trying to get eligible for the Spring semester. If so he really won’t miss that much.
He's missing at a minimum 10 games and maybe up to 18. I would say that's a pretty big loss.
Like I said it’s a fairly big blow, but from your subject title I thought I was going to read he was ineligible as in permanently. One semester sucks but it’s not a killer.
lol yes missing the first 10 games or so of your freshman season is definitely not a big deal at all
Definitely going to need more info about what went on here. "The NCAA missed his clearance date" is a pretty vague explanation.
N'fairly big blow, amirite!?....I'll see my way out.
Cal dodged another? Am I missing something? Weren't we on him until the very end?

We all know Oregon has been cheating their ass off. Couldn't happen to a finer program.
I mentioned this yesterday. Jack Pilgrim and Travis Graff were all over early last week—good for those two. And good on Cal!
A lot of people like to talk about the guys he [Cal] didn’t get, but man, those same people need to speak about all the guys we didn’t need! Another blessing in disguise...
I still would have accepted his commitment even if it meant he weren’t going to be eligible until the spring. I’m not sure I’m on board with all you guys talking about dodging a bullet here.
Cal didn't "dodge" him. Just because a kid has no intentions in coming here doesn't mean we didn't want the kid. That whole "because of Peach Jam" scenario was dreamt up.
If he plays in the spring he can contribute. He won't do much there anyways...and then will leave and probably not make it long in the NBA. He seems rather raw so we shall see.
Maybe, but that's a lot of games to miss as a freshman, if he still wants to make an impact. Oregon's tournament odds took a hit, for sure.
Again, I didn’t say it meant nothing. I just said it means less than permanently ineligible, which was the way I read the subject title. That’s on me, I guess.
Yeah, I am not sure either. "NCAA missed his clearance date". Not sure what that means exactly but when it is worded like that, the blame seems to fall on the NCAA if he completed his HS requirements and did everything he was told to do. Not sure, though.
Need some more details.
I was looking forward to this.

The NCAA is going to deprive us of a James Wiseman-N’Faly Dante matchup when Memphis plays Oregon next month.

Difference is at Oregon he might be illegible by the second semester, If he signed at UK , it would have been for the entire year with out a doubt !
Probably just a coincidence that he was pushed to Oregon by his handlers and now he happens to be ineligible.
Not that it matters much, but there was no dodging or backing away.
I'll betcha that Nike will make the NCAA take a 2nd look at this. Don't be surprised if the NCAA reverses themselves & rules Dante eligible. If not Nike will put the NCAA on probation.
I also don't think Cal "dodged" anything here. We wanted him, we didn't get him.
I also want more details. How many hundreds of players have reclassified throughout the years? I don't think I've ever heard of a kid not being able to play because the NCAA missed the clearance deadline.

Kid would have had to go to duke to be eligible. Possibly north carolina.
He definitely did “dodge” him (that’s incorrect btw ...no reason to put quotations around dodge, grammatically speaking)
I get that you like to be contrary and I will even buy that you’re a fan but doesn’t it get old? You spend a lot of time on here and always seem to be upset and pissy when it comes to UK basketball.
Hobbies are supposed to be pleasurable, ya know?
NCAA clearance has nothing to do with the ability to go to class. Assumption here on my part, but since Oregon just started classes on September 30th, I doubt that jives with when you need to be cleared by the NCAA. He might have taken that long to finally get all requirements done to reclassify.
You are missing the point but that is par for the course with most of your posts.
And how does anyone know he will be eligible for the Spring especially with the morons at the NCAA?
Does anyone not think Oregon is paying these kids?I wouldn't be surprised if this what it turns out to be all about.
If he came to UK then he would sit the whole season courtesy of the NCAA.
Yep. This kid doesn't deserve any hate or backlash however a adult involved with his recruitment should be ashamed of themselves
He should've went to UNCheat or Duke, no doubt eligibility wouldn't have been an issue. ![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")

I agree with this, the kid listened to the wrong person, and mostly likely that person had his hand out , or new he wouldn't have control to better himself at the kids expense.
In cal I trust. I do think it was a coincidence he was ruled ineligible. That’s not to say he would of been ruled eligible here.
Wait - nobody else mentioned yet that he's N'eligible? This thread is almost a page long. For shame.
