In mid Feb? Never heard that before.
Haven't seen a guy out for grades in 20 years. Seems they gave up on the school aspect long ago
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.
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.
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.
Usually if it's a grade or class attendance problem, You would give the Kid a Leave of Absence from the team to concentrate on the problem .
He’s maybe the only former Indiana Mr Basketball (2004) to drop out of school over grades. He played only 9 games his senior year and all his numbers dropped significantly his first semester. I seem to recall there may have been some mental issues, outside of just not doing your homework or going to class. His 3 1/2 year career average was 5.8 pts/game.

imagine having that happen under Sampson. Now that's REALLY trying to screw up.
Imagine a coach hanging three banners with kids who all went to class and earned passing grades. Despite all said coach's "character flaws."
