Not at least an article on ESPN? If Florida/UK/Memphis got him, tell me there would not be an article.
This isn't a "ESPN hates TN" thread, this is just a curious question of how is this not at least a medium sized story in the rest of the basketball world?
In time my orange-clad friend. Give it a season for some respect to come back.
As much as Bruce helped the program, he hurt it by his actions and lies. I love the guy, but there has to be some level of fallout expected.
Football will get back there too. Time and wins are all we need.

The only article/headline I want to see is the one confirming he's made it through the clearinghouse and his papers are signed, sealed and delivered. Call me a killjoy, but the clearinghouse has been a real thorn in our sides for a long time, and they're not known for being quick with decisions like this when it comes to UT.
What was the precedent? Were there any delay issues?

This "ESPN hates Tennessee" stuff is getting out of hand... ESPN and other media outlets are not always going to agree with your opinion, get over it people. It doesn't mean that they have a political agenda if they pick our opponent to win.
I don't know exactly what the procedure is, but I'm sure they check the HS transcripts and standardized test scores. Though it doesn't happen often, players coming out of HS have enrolled in college halfway through the season on a few occasions, and as long as everything is in line, there should be no reason he can't play on the 12th.
I thought you meant another BB players got thru this exact situation with ease.
I know the procedure very well and I worry about a delay. Stokes could get all of his stuff in and the last thing the NCAA would need to do is certify the amateurism part. That's the part that worries me not that he has done anything wrong just that I can see the NCAA dragging their feet on purpose.
Let's hope JS has done everything he should do at this point. That includes his high schools. If they hold ill feelings toward him they might delay in sending final transcripts. I have seen that happen with transfer students before.

Right, I get what you're saying. IMO, there should be no kind of delay given what we know right now.
