Barney is completely toothless. If he were this highly respected guy he would get a decision by now. Man our opponent ads love Barney
Zvonimir Ivisic Update (Not Good) from Buzz Baker
- Thread starter KA4Prez
- Start date
This is absolutely absurd! Get the kid ready, Cal! Damn!
Shame on the NCAA for during this young man this way, to bad they do not have anyone that can investigate them.
Why should the player be punished for the NCAA not completing its analysis within the 45 day period?
I've been saying all along, that when the 45 days are up & it's time for the NCAA to rule that they would say that we need an additional 30 days to gather more information. If Big Z had had done something to make him ineligible they would have already ruled him ineligible. The crooks at the NCAA are doing everything that they can do to slow walk this to hurt UK. I don't know who's more corrupt the NCAA or the justice department in Washington.
He might need to go back to his own country. America seems to be killing him. How many different excuses of various health problems are we going to get this year?
I get that the real reason is something to do with eligibility, but why keep coming up with phony reasons he's not at the games?

The NCAA's lack of a decision has left a bad taste in his mouth.
Very real possibility. However, given the propensity with this program for injuries, there is a real possibility he will get a lot of playing time if cleared to play.
I know, I really went out on a limb with this prediction. (safe bet)

I tried this once at work, clients caught on to my b.s.
Not sure I follow. Our biggest weakness is the inside.
If Kentucky plays offensively like they did last night, you might be correct.
I was about to like this, but then you go all political at the end...
Not convinced they are phony reasons. Maybe the kid has a weak immune system. Lots of sick going around lately as it is the winter flu season, and COVID is still hanging around.
Same, I think we only need 1 of the 3 back. The small ball lineup and the offense it allows us to run works perfectly for our teams makeup. If all three were available from day one I don’t think we end up as good as we will be come March.
According to a stat I saw last night during the game, Cal is the third best coach since 2010, wins-wise. He could be considered the best if not for the last 3-4 years.
The last 3 years have been legacy killers.
Small ball, hitting this many threes, low TOs and low fouling may be enough to overcome opponents' rebounding and inside game. We nearly took down KU without a big guy, and probably would have if just a couple of those threes there at the end dropped.
Defense, however, is another thing. If we can improve on perimeter and lane driving defense, and keep up this shooting, we may not even need a big man. Except I'm hesitant to have a team living and dying by the three ball...
Marshall got to the basket a lot. Got to have at least one big guy in there hopefully.
If he plays prior to Jan, I'll be very surprised. If he doesn't play this season I'll not be surprised.
Not to mention, injuries to a guy who already has a gimpy foot, but also, what if he's simply not that good as a freshman?
I'd really prefer to have 2 of these guys.
I imagine teams will start to game plan for our small size. And there's going to be days where our shots don't fall and the opponent kills us on the rebounds. At some point, we're going to need at least ONE big to be in the paint. And you better believe the NCAA is going to throw every team with a formidable front court our way in the tournament. Purdue is already in our region, I'm 100% convinced.
It amazes me that somehow we have an NCAA eligibility issue (that Cal 100x states won't be a problem but always is) we have mysterious injuries that always make you ask yourself what if? ... wild man, it's every damn year
Yeah, at least 1 of Ivisic or Ugonna, or else you're 1 injury away from being right back where we started. And nobody knows how good Bradshaw is gonna be, so yes you need another body.
Which is dumb as hell because it works every time.
This is not entirely the doing of the NCAA. There's no doubt in my mind that if Cal has to choose between hurrying the process and the kid being exposed, and staying back in the shadows until it's too late enabling him to say the kid is too far behind to play, Cal's going with the second option.
And he probably should. We're likely not winning anything without SOME semblance of a front court. Aaron needs all the minutes he can play in hopes of being a big piece come March.
I feel bad for Big Z! The NCAA should be ashamed!!!!! It makes me sick!!!!

Even if AD and Pres won’t sue NCAA, nothing stopping Ivisic (UK fan lawyer) from sueing NCAA.
Mitch Barnhart needs to get off his ass for once and start making public statements and putting public pressure on the NCAA here.
So sick and tired of Barnhart just laying down and taking it.
UNC's wide receiver got his waiver denied and the entire athletic department put the NCAA on absolute blast, and IT WORKED, the NCAA reversed it's decision.
It's time for Barnhart to stop being such a pu$$y.

The "kid" is seven feet tall. Even just standing in the post for 10 minutes a game he'll alter some shots. That will give us something we haven't had yet.
Yeah we desperately need that size anchoring the paint. It'll allow some of our guys to stay home on shooters more often instead of having to rotate down to help, knowing they have a 7'2 rim protector down there.
We'll hit a different level defensively, without having to sacrifice much spacing offensively given both of their skillsets.
Really hope Bradshaw finds a way to play Tuesday.
We need a win Tuesday- BADLY.
Every team has gotten to the basket. Rebounding is a severe problem
Wish he would go see an attorney. Bound to be a UK fan lawyer that would jump at this opportunity
Since he makes life time contracts for coaches, help the athlete now and the university. Probably too busy trying to keep Stoops at uk to worry about basketball
I wouldn't have the patience he does, unless he thinks he's getting drafted regardless.
I think the kid has been sick. I really do not see any type of advantage to lying about his health. I am hoping he starts getting game time within the next couple of weeks. NCAA has to make a decision soon.
