You can probably expect all the guys who signed E10s to be denied initially atleast.

Pretty cool drill to move without the ball. I see enough useless dribbling these days so a pretty good idea imo. 

Joe Mazzula started conducting practices like this when he was hired by the Celtics.

Joe Sterling just became @harveycmdfavorite Texas player

We’ll agree to disagree on that. 

There needs to be push back.. in a big way IMO

Well, the NCAA squandered their "private organization" defense by making a billion dollars and choosing to not to pay the people who provide the entertainment. Right now courts look at the players as free agents who are entitled to get the best deal they can because there's no law against that.

The NCAA position is indefensible. 

I mean, if the NCAA *said* they wouldn't let players whom they deem ineligible play in the tournament, how long do you think that would last? That member is making his own rule and he should be thrown off the committee.

Let's see if all their guys end up being eligible. 

NCAA still going after a stay in the tenth circuit appellate court, where they have won before.

Yeah, I just don't care. People should push back as hard as possible on these guys trying to get another year right now. And push back on the staff's that swung and missed in the portal window, tried to get kids eligible that they knew were long shots and now suddenly get a BS second shot at it. Look at Texas A&M ... every school that looked at Bryson Warren (Texas one of those), said they didn't believe he would end up eligible. A&M rolls the dice. He's not eligible, and now they get rewarded for a bad decision/gamble with a Jordan Pope. 

It's complete BS for me, bottom line. I hope they continue to push back as hard as possible.

But again, every D-I athlete class except these seniors are eligible for 5-in-5, and none of them came in with the rule. Why not the seniors? Because the schools thought they could save a few bucks. 

It's like academic administrators can't think things through. None of that surprises me. They have chaos, and they deserve it.
