Cal seemed like the obvious choice. He's from the state and rumored to be connected with there before.

Kinda my thoughts as well, but UC Berkeley won't want him if the stuff about his grades is true

 

[Lefteye]

Naw it came out the 11th and I want to say I seen it maybe a day before that. Cause the article of him going to cal is on nbadraft.net and was put out the 11th.

Gotcha. I'll climb back under my rock. Haha

Only because of Wiley. It's still early, only 7 of the top 50 recruits have committed.

Huh? He is one of the smarter kids we have, and on track to graduate soon.

Think Indy confused him with the Cornish to Cal talk

Well now wouldn't this be a coup.

Haven't seen anything, which would seemingly jive with the grades being an issue so I would guess he's heading to JUCO.

Where was he at and wasn't he a soph this year?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Where was he at and wasn't he a soph this year?

Sophomore at UNLV

 

[BruinVol]

Sophomore at UNLV

Then how on earth could he go juco?

 

[edyeary]

To finish his soph year?

If you've yet to finish your sophomore year academically you can't transfer down to JUCO?

Did he play last year?

If he has only 2 years of eligibility left then no he can't

 

[bleedingTNorange]

He has 3 years to play 2, he couldn't transfer to a JUCO to get his academics in order, take a redshirt and go back D1 with 2 years remaining?

He could go to juco and not play but not sure what that purpose would serve as that would likely put him even further behind academically

Absolutely for a 3rd year guy

NCAA requires % toward graduation after each year. A juco only offers courses that generally count for your first 2 years meaning he would get virtually none of his 3rd year requirements

Going to a juco without any eligibility left would make zero sense really

Why not just transfer to a D1 school and do the same thing though? Transfer, redshirt, and still have 2 to play 2.

That's the way to do it for sure. The only logical reason to go to juco the 3rd year is financially(doesn't get scholarship anywhere) but then as I posted before it likely doesn't work academically

From how it's sounded a lot of these D1's are having trouble getting him admitted into their schools, would hay not still apply if he's redshirting at said school, he still has to be admitted.

Then it's D2 or NAIA for him. Juco makes no sense

He could pay his own way to whatever D1 school would offer courses he needs as well that would admit him. Online courses sound possible as well
