This right here is why Memphis will never have a stable program. Tomlin was a top 10 JUCO who had almost no offers because he was considered a problem. Jerome Tang, Father Flanagan himself, takes him on and gets a year out of him. Tang dismisses him because even he doesn’t want to deal with him anymore. So Hardaway jumps in on him in mid-season. There is no chance this ends well.

To me the college game has become to bland and boring. It misses the rivalries that use to exist between coaches like the big east when you had Bohemian and Thompson or Massamino and Carnaca

How about Chaney and Calamari?

That was a classic.

You know, it’s kind of sad to see Louisville playing Arkansas St, not Arkansas, Arkansas St, and thinking, “hmm, that might be a pretty good game.”

Can you explain, having a hard time understanding? Is this just for players awaiting verdict?

West Virginia judge approved a  temporary restraining order against the NCAA from enforcing transfer rules for the next 14 days in West Virginia.   Raequon battle sued and so did 8 state attorney generals.   They combined their cases.   After 14 days the hearings will continue but for now ncaa can’t enforce so Battle is probably going to play for the next 14 days and my guess is other schools who have had kids denied will play.   Some won’t just incase the ruling changes.    Big fat mess is what it’s going to be

This seems like a good summary to me.

What I’m reading is that for 14 days it’s ‘all clear to play’ and that there’ll be a hearing on the issue at that point. Of course, that hearing may not conclusively settle the issue and parties with interests in the new status quo may try to delay the hearing. 

But, by playing during this ‘all clear’ period teams (slightly) risk having their wins with those players wiped away by a now-pissed NCAA. If the NCAA wiped away wins it could lead to another court filing and more hearings… rinse and repeat.
