It was that way when I played d2 basketball 6-8 years ago. Could have changed, but it explains why akok is on the bench right.now when polley and sid are both hot garbage tonight. Lol

No, that's not the case. NCAA Proposal 2017-57 which was adopted states that "In head-count sports ... an institution may replace a counter who voluntarily withdraws from the institution during the academic year by providing the financial aid to another student-athlete, including an incoming student-athlete entering the ensuing term, without making the second student-athlete a counter for the remainder of that academic year." See https://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/2018RR_Division_I_Financial_Aid_20180724.pdf.

You’re the first I’ve seen to provide the actual language of the rule and it does seem clear! It also runs counter to what some were suggesting, which appears to have been the correct interpretation under the old rule. So we could have had Akok for this semester if someone on a scholly had left prior to the start of semester 2 Thanks PJ

Akok could have played immediately if he's a full qualifier and if Kwintin had left voluntarily. We still haven't heard whether he's a full or partial qualifier, but since it was reported that he wouldn't have played even if he got a scholly, I think we can guess that Akok is a partial qualifier. In which case he can't play until after the first semester next year.

I didn't see this earlier! I was making my comments regarding this specific topic tongue-in-cheek. Did this really happen? Doesn't sound like Hurley. Do you have a source?

No it didn't happen the poster PJ just making it up.

Read the thread, I didn't make anything up. Just had a post get interpreted differently than I intended it.

Wtf? This is not true at all and is a pretty awful rumor to make up.

This board’s tendency to just create stories out of thin air and then run with them as fact is seriously pathetic.

Maybe it’s just alternative facts.

Do you actually have a source or do you think this makes sense logically? Hurley literally called the move you are accusing him of bush league. Is our coach a sociopath or are you exaggerating?

I haven't seen or heard exactly what Hurley was asked and what he said in response. I believe it was in response to a reporter question and was captured in a video before or after a game or practice. Dig up the quote and let's see if it contradicts what I said. I don't believe it will.

Again, everything I stated has a source -- Kwintin's Instagram for his being spoken to by the coaches and considering leaving, coaches statements about Akok's status, and NCAA rules which I've cited. What happened is pretty clear.

So you saying you have no inside info and your source is his Instagram? You are better than this.

So you made the statement as if were fact;
eased back on it;
directly repudiated it;
claimed that it was misinterpreted;
and now you all in again?

Geesh, what's up with you today?

I think you're off base here man.

Akok never expected to get a a scholly or someone to "voluntarily" leave for him. He also never expected to play this semester. This I know for a fact.

Good effort. But youre filling in A LOT of blanks.

I clarified it once, to what I actually intended to say from the beginning. I've had one message throughout. I never repudiated anything. I have no idea what you think is reality and how your picture of reality differs from what I said. Why don't you describe what you think happened?

I also never expected him to play, because I think he's a partial qualifier. I'm glad to hear he was never led to believe that he could get a scholly because someone would voluntarily leave for him, because the coaches didn't have that in their power to promise.

What am I off base on? You didn't say anything that contradicted me.

You’re still implying that Hurley tried to get kwintin to give up his scholly. When Hurley himself called it “bush league”. You’ve presented no evidence that this happened. Kwintin was suspended because he did something dumb. He was not asked to give up his scholarship this season

Sorry didn't add this: he will be playing next fall. Or at least he, his mentor, and the coaches think so at this time. PM me if you want to know source

Probably not much point in speculating, wouldn't you agree?
 
Chief00 said:
Generally, you have scholarship players and walk-ons. For those who say he’s neither - what would he be then?
Expand ...

Walk ons can play. He can't. So he is technically neither. But walk ons are mostly practice players, and he is that, so he's closest to that.
 
pj said:
He asked Kwintin to voluntarily leave the program in order to free up a scholarship for Akok, and then when Kwintin didn't he suspended him from basketball activities. Don't get me wrong, Hurley cares for his players and wants to do well by them. But he also wants to succeed. Relationships have to go both ways, give and take, and if a player doesn't give don't assume Hurley will always be giving on the other side.
Expand ...

Do you know this for a FACT or are you just assuming.... Never assume something you don't know and wasn't in the office or conversation. Not good to spread rumors or opinion in things you don't know what happen.
