I thought signings for Juco players were just a “financial agreement” that wasn’t binding until they enrolled. If I’m correct that’s much different than a Freshman LOI which is binding.I thought he signed. If he had not signed the school announcement was a violation. If we simply gave him a release, then I am perplexed. Have never seen us do that ever unless a coaching change (Dudney). This is really making a mockery of NCAA signings if every player can de- sign any time and get rerecruited by agents or schools that didn’t notice him until the signing when they fell short on a player. “Go get one from Tulsa, They will release them”
Jucos sign binding letters of intent, just as high schoolers do. However, there are times that jucos sign a non-binding financial aid agreement outside of a signing period. That wasn't the case here.I thought signings for Juco players were just a “financial agreement” that wasn’t binding until they enrolled.

Brown signed a letter of intent, but unfortunately, it appears he's not going to meet all the transfer/academic requirements.Hmmmmmm. Weird. We probably will never know what happened.
Seeing as how he's so great at coaching up big men.Greatest irony ever would be getting an immediately eligible transfer from Manning's program at Wake Forest.
Oops, got confused and posted it on the wrong amn d thread.Greatest irony ever would be getting an immediately eligible transfer from Manning's program at Wake Forest.
I was also thinking about how Haith likes to profit off of the demise of former Tulsa coaches... grabbing Clarkson from us after Woj got a swift kick in the butt.Sorry if the reference was over your head,(/\) considering you prolly weren't even born yet.
I'm not doubting your word here, that just doesn't seem right that he scored more than all of them? Wow, guess that comes from not giving a sh*t bout that a$$O. Intentionally did not following his exploits @Missouri or in the league..I was also thinking about how Haith likes to profit off of the demise of former Tulsa coaches... grabbing Clarkson from us after Woj got a swift kick in the butt.
What if I told you that Jordan Clarkson was drafted in the same class as: Nikola Jokic, Zach Lavine, Julius Randle, Aaron Gordon, TJ Warren, Joel Embiid, Gary Harris, Jabari Parker, Clint Capela, Jerami Grant, Marcu Smart.... and he's scored more NBA points than ALL of them. It's like an episode of the twilight zone.
This has written all over it: “got into an academic hole due to immaturity or lack of high school foundation early and had to pass all spring classes to be eligible and didn’t.”Brown signed a letter of intent, but unfortunately, it appears he's not going to meet all the transfer/academic requirements.
The best players in that class dealt with injuries (Embiid, Lavine, Jokic) the only person in the draft class with more points than Clarkson is the #1 pick Andrew Wiggins.I'm not doubting your word here, that just doesn't seem right that he scored more than all of them? Wow, guess that comes from not giving a sh*t bout that a$$O. Intentionally did not following his exploits @Missouri or in the league..
Thanks for the correction. I remember guys signing non-binding agreements in the past.Jucos sign binding letters of intent, just as high schoolers do. However, there are times that jucos sign a non-binding financial aid agreement outside of a signing period. That wasn't the case here.
Give me Marcus Smart over Clarkson any day of the week plus twice on Sunday. Smart's level of defense in the NBA is on another level.I was also thinking about how Haith likes to profit off of the demise of former Tulsa coaches... grabbing Clarkson from us after Woj got a swift kick in the butt.

It depends right now. They'll continue to look, and if they can get a good player and the right fit, then they'll take someone. But they won't just take someone to get a body.Did we close it out or look for another guy.?
Got them both in late April of 2006. Jordan came in for his official visit on April 20, and Uzoh came in the next day. Cason and Woj let me come over to the Reynolds Center and take pictures while they played pick-up ball with the team.Hell, I’m pretty sure we signed Uzoh and Jordan in May. I was about to take my last law school final.
He would start immediately for TU and Haith, Shea, and Kwanza could promise him that and be pretty confident in holding to their word. Academically he would likely fit and feel at home. As I've said, TU and Wake Forest are very similar. If his name is in the portal Shea should be all over him before Dooley at ECU gets on him.And, like a modern day Nostradamus, I have predicted that Wake would lose a quality
big....
This is the kind of pickup We should be all over. We have relatively little in the way of competition as most schools have already filled their rosters. He reportedly intends to file a waiver for immediate eligibility.
If he’s had ups and downs in the classroom they may not have been willing to wait to see if he had another up, gambled, lost, and been left with an empty chair in November.
How F-ING Ironic, considering EVERY CLASS IN AMERICA IS CURRENTLY AN ONLINE CLASS.His academics appear to be fine. Came down to TU not wanting to accept online class(es).
Well, they're going to have to get over it. I think there need to be many more questions asked about what the layout of the online class was than just a blanket denial of online courses. After all, AP tests are online this year. So are pretty much every college final.Considering that I’ve watched an FSU volleyball player sit on the lap of an FSU football player and take his online exams for him with other people in the room who didnt appear to think that was unusual, I don’t blame them for not accepting online work from athletic scholarship recipients.
Guys that come to us with marginal academics and have to leave devastate the depth of the team, cause friction with the faculty and most importantly it can cost thousands of dollars in hard costs. We cant afford any misses right now.
That's odd, because they had all the credits sorted out prior to his signing.His academics appear to be fine. Came down to TU not wanting to accept online class(es).
I don’t disagree, but the manner of testing and evaluation in those classes can be much different and have greater integrity than classes two years ago offered at Tumbleweed A&M JUCO to keep the pell grant money rolling in and the kid on the field.Well, they're going to have to get over it.
