If he is prepared to sue that would be more like Johnny Manziel. Now we will see what happens now that the NCAA is going against someone that has lawyered up like Johnny Manziel.

Even if they lose the appeal, does he still remain on scholarship for the year like an academic redshirt?

I would think it would be like Proche. Proche keeps his scholarship with us but has to redshirt.

I wish this guy was an SMU commit! If only there were an online class that he could take to get that extra credit...

I was looking forward to UCF vs UC Irvine this December to see the 7 foot 6 vs 7 foot 6 matchup at center....

Keep your eye on the Ball-Jerry Meyer asks the real questions:

Jerry Meyer ‏@jerrymeyer247 · 6h6 hours ago
Unfortunate deal 4 possibly naive/trusting recruits is NCAA is trying to hammer certain shady schools & adults keep herding recruits to them


Jerry Meyer ‏@jerrymeyer247 · 6h6 hours ago
.@GoodmanESPN I totally agree. Why I'm tweeting what I'm tweeting. Zero blame in it for the kid. I'm attacking the adults in the situation


Jerry Meyer ‏@jerrymeyer247 · 6h6 hours ago

Jerry Meyer Retweeted Pretty Flacko
Cheick Diallo went to a high school in poor standing and under scrutiny from the NCAA.


Jerry Meyer added,

Pretty Flacko @Tyler_Capone @jerrymeyer247 so whats the issue with Cheick Diallo?


Jerry Meyer ‏@jerrymeyer247 · 6h6 hours ago

Jerry Meyer Retweeted
Skal Labissere went to a top HS in Memphis. They created a team to play on because ineligible to play for school. https://twitter.com/BMay2043/status/664186505183805440 …


Jerry Meyer ‏@jerrymeyer247 · 6h6 hours ago
When prospects go to high schools in poor or shaky standing w the NCAA, it seems to scream the question "why."


Jerry Meyer ‏@jerrymeyer247 · 6h6 hours ago
I'm not an investigative reporter but I'm thinking the Tacko Fall story might center around why he went to an NCAA uncertified high school.


Jerry Meyer ‏@jerrymeyer247 · 6h6 hours ago
My initial question on the Tacko Fall situation is why did a basketball import go to a NCAA uncertified school. Someone dropped the ball.

Given that he uses his stipend to pay for his brother's schooling back home I would hope so.
