So what’s the deal?

 

[wi_hoosier]

Not sure if it's true, but somebody said it was grades.

In mid Feb? Never heard that before.

 

[Spirito76]

I saw it happen in 75/76 & it wasn’t grades directly. It was failure to attend class, repeatedly. He ended up getting booted & was a very good player.

Lol

 

[HoosierAlum07]

Remember the great Ben Allen!? Showed up to 1 class and said the hell with it!

Yeah, no idea.

 

[trailrunner]

He is on the bench

Haven't seen a guy out for grades in 20 years. Seems they gave up on the school aspect long ago

Might be a lower leg injury that takes 3 games to heal?

Oh… one of “those” injuries ..?

Yeah, no Tucker last two games. Injured or doghouse? So much for our 5 star freshman.

 

[yeard]

They need wins. He doesn't help them win so he sits.

I’m guessing neither. Just a typical freshman who can’t be trusted on the defensive end yet.

Or the coach doesn’t know how to use him for the TEAM. The kid is a stud. Reminds me of Ricky Calloway. I would guess the new coach would be all in on him.

 

[ulrey]

He is on the bench

Woody forgot forgot about him

Kent Sterling seems to think his defensive liability outweighs his offensive prowess.

Teach the young man how to play defense!!!

Man, next season can’t get here soon enough.

AJ Ratliff was academically ineligible going into his sr season in 2007-2008 under Sampson. Imagine having that happen going into your senior season...

That's te last one I remembered. Seems like grades now are just overlooked. Guys didn't suddenly all start passing

I remember a co worker telling me DeMarcus Cousins had the math and writing skills of a 3rd grader while at UK and always recieved passing grades in all of his courses. He had to work his ass off to pass one class all the while Cousins got the same passing score for basically doing nothing.

Cousins was similar to lucy, dumber than a dogs ass

After UNC avoided any issues from their bullshit classes, it was obvious no school has much financial incentive to handicap their program by treating the revenue sports players like real students. The kids should have an incentive, but that's a leading a horse to water kinda situation.

That’s why Kent is a writer/dumb shit and not a coach… The kid is still young and VERY good. This is the exact reason why IU needs a true COLLEGE basketball coach. If you don’t understand what I mean, then you have never experienced what great COLLEGE basketball is about.

WHAAATTT? UNC offered classes that weren’t legit? That can’t be “legal”. Probably why they have now hired a “general manager” for the basketball team.
