Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 1:17 pmBlaise is in school and is apparently optimistic that his high school transcripts will make it through the NCAA clearing house. At this time he has not been cleared.

Re: Blaise Mbargorba eligibility
Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:50 pm3 recruiting services say he had an offer from Vandy and 1 of the 3 says he had an offer from Northwestern, so I'm guessing he can handle the academics.
Does anyone know if he doesn't qualify for the fall semester can he play in the Spring if he makes his grades in the fall, or does he have to wait until 2013-2014?

My understand is that this is a transcripts issue and not a grades issue.

Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2012 9:22 amits an age issue. NCAA is saying he should have graduated high school in '10, which means they considered his junior year his post-grad year, and his senior year, his first year of college. In essence, they say he's too old for his class and want to make him sit the year, and lose a year eligibility. Its a witch-hunt, completely ridiculous, and is a brand new rule this past summer. The NCAA saying any african kid had good enough transcripts immediately off the plane, to get cleared for college ball, is laughable.

By the look of your first sentence, you aren't too big on grammar either.
