Not Good news for Kansas
- Thread starter WCBcats
- Start date
"Wednesday’s news is the latest twist in Eubanks’ story, which began nearly two years ago after he’d completed his senior year at Our Savior New American in Centereach, New York. Eubanks spent his sophomore and junior years at American Heritage HS in Florida, and transcripts from that school are where the original problems stemmed from."
It doesn't look like this decision effects Kansas at all. The problem wasn't Our Savior New American, which is where Diallo went.

Yeah, if anything, Davon Dillard (a teammate of Diallo's at OSNA) getting cleared to play for Oklahoma State would be more relevant to KU.
Diallo should be cleared at some point if everything is in order, but I have no clue if it is or isn't.
Big blow for the Tide and Avery Johnson. Was their best recruit in the class. Chose Bama over Kansas. 4 star guard not cleared by the NCAA and will not enroll at Alabama. Very good 6'5 SG/SF top 100 player

I believe he went to the same HS as Chieck Diallo, so this could be VERY problematic for Kansas.
This is from Alabama's website.
Signs are starting to point towards Diallo being ineligible

Okay. I couldn't find where it said he went there. Kansas fans must be worried.
I am happy whenever things go wrong for Bill Self. But if you base your expectations on what Jerry Meyer tweets, you will get surprised often. Like everyone else, Meyer is making educated guesses. Only his aren't always very educated.
Yep, they must be.
Without Diallo, they will be incredibly vulnerable in the post, especially on the defensive end (no rim protection).
Offensively, Diallo isn't a stud or anything, but he'd be farther along than Landon Lucas and Hunter Mickelson.
Let's keep our fingers crossed. Not enough bad can happen to Kansas and their crap fanbase. Diallo will be fine, anyways. It's not like Kansas/Self are going to HELP his NBA career. This may be a blessing in disguise for him.
Oh absolutely.
If Alexander had been ruled ineligible at the beginning of the year, he would have been a lottery pick.
But instead, he plays half a season under Bill Self, drops 1,000 spots and goes undrafted.
Selby probably sits back and wonders "Man, what could have been if only I were ineligible for the entire year..." 
ONSA isn't great for eligibility. That's established. But it's well documented that Eubanks eligibility issues stand more from his sophomore and junior years at the school in Florida. The fact that he knew what he needed, went to prep school, and then was still ineligible shows its an issue with him as well.
Davon Dillard who spent one year at ONSA like Eubanks was ruled eligible. We'll see what happens with Diallo.

***Eubanks declared for 'bama I believe AFTER Vick declared for Kansas. There wasn't a spot for him AT Kansas any more.
***Mickelson's actually very good defensively both with steals and blocks. His weakness is Rebounding & foul-prone.
Lucas actually looked far worse than Mickelson though got a TON more mins. MUCH WORSE offensively than Hunter. Only real way that he stands out as better than Mickelson is Rebounding.
OBVIOUSLY NEITHER have the quickness that Diallo would bring.
KU offered him a scholly, he decided to go to Bama instead. He chose Bama over KU like I said in my post.
Go easy on him MWes, that's too many facts in one sentence for a KU fan.
***Um, ok - if he chose KU what were they going to do - kick another player off the team?! They'd've had to have rescinded the offer because there was no scholarship any more. So no - kind of hard to choose one school over another when there is no longer a spot available at the other school.
Seriously?
How about the Twins? Weren't they both rated in the top 3-10 in their class?
If you want to compare, only 1 twin wasn't drafted, and while they may have slipped down the rankings, they did so over two seasons, not one. Cliff's fall was extraordinary. I don't think we've ever seen a freshman drop so far that wasn't injury related.
Right, because the Twins are certainly the rule and not the exception

Bill Self has an amazing ability to tank his recruits draft stocks
Coach Cal has an amazing ability to get guys drafted and improve their stocks throughout the year.
THREE #1 picks in the last 5 drafts. 2 of which were not projected to go that high when they came to Lexington (AD and KAT).
Come on now.
Now seems as good of a time as any to remind Kansas fans that Bill Self chose Landen Lucas over Willie Cauley-Stein. Didn't even bother recruiting WCS because he thought Lucas was a better prospect.
Well, to be fair, maybe he was the better prospect in HS.
But after 3 years of WCS improving under Cal, and Landon Lucas regressing under Self, one was the #6 overall pick in a loaded draft class, the other will be going pro in something OTHER than sports.
Screw the Choke Hawks. Hopefully they'll lose 10 games this season.
Give us a little extra cushion in the all-time count.
To be honest, I'm not really scared of KU with Diallo. Obviously without him they are pretty ordinary, but I still like our squad even with him.
Yeah, but without Diallo, Kentucky has a chance to hang 30 on them again. two years in a row would be bridge jump-inducing for a lot of Kansas fans.
