Hey, I don't have a Rivals subscription. Maybe someone who does can tell us if there's any new info in here:

http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/barrier_noentry.asp?ReturnTo=&sid=&script=content.asp&cid=1181279&fid=&tid=&mid=&rid=

Got this from Eric Bossi. He writes for Rivals and posted this on KU rivals board. I'll paraphrase.

* Done deal - he'll be in class tomorrow.

* Was considered non-qualifier by NCAA.

* Big 12 schools aren't allowed to take non-quals.

* Eligible Dec. on next year (i.e. sits out first semester).

* Will be sophomore (but could get extra year back if academic progress is maintained).

hmmm...If he is eligible mid-December hopefully that doesn't mean he only plays for us for half a season... :unsure:

Even if he's only here for a year, you'll get 2/3 of a season (he's eligible as soon as 1st semester ends), all of conference season and all of post season. Definitely worth the gamble.

Now that I think about it, why would he not be eligible at the start of the season...if he is academically eligible. He does not have to sit out a year...he was never enrolled at Mizzou, so this is not a transfer situation. Also, I saw somewhere that his letter of intent will have expired, its only good for 1 year.

My guess is that a non-qualifier has to sit out a year and pass so many hours of classes before he can be eligible (that way old Prop 48 rule worked). Since he never enrolled at Mizzou, he'll need a year of college to be eligible. But I have no idea since I haven't kept up with the rule.

Just until the end of the fall semester, assuming he qualifies. He'll miss a few out of conference games, but that's it.

Maybe not even any conference games. I think when a player is eligible at the end of the fall semester....they're eligible after fall semester finals. This year, our first SBC game wasn't until Dec. 30.

      Early 2024 Football Record Prediction

      Army? Here’s a reason from this latest article: “North Texas had a host of issues to address following a 5-7 season in Eric Morris' debut campaign as the Mean Green's coach. Improving against the run was among the biggest. UNT ranked last nationally in rushing defense with an average of 255.2 yards allowed per game and gave up more rushing touchdowns than any other team in the country at 37.” https://dentonrc.com/rush-to-defense/article_d2743e45-5063-5360-a8e7-cca7a8dbdd9a.html?utm_source=dentonrc.com&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletters%2Flists%2Fmean-green%2F%3F-dc%3D1715792412&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headline Seems like stopping Army would be a challenge for the worst rushing defense in the country

      Kansas to the SEC?

      No school is going to willingly leave the SEC. I think the far more likely scenario is schools like Rutgers, Vanderbilt, and Northwestern will be "kicked down" to the ACC while FSU/Clemson go to the Big 10/SEC at some point in the 2030's.

      Grand Canyon and Seattle to WCC

      As much as it is discussed for the G5 conferences, it isn't very smart for the FCS conferences not to realign into regional groupings to try to reduce costs.

      JUCO Target Bryson Smith

      Is there a limit to the number of rostered players or just a limit on the number of scholarship players. I'm not sure how the scholarship thing/limit really works in the age of NIL. At scholarship limit? Get a big enough NIL deal to cover the cost of attendance (tuition, R&B, books, fees, etc.) and then some. Maybe not something UNT is in the position to do, but what's keeping Deep Pockets U from having more "scholarship" players on the roster than the limit allows?
