Boatright being held out again

Per Neil Ostrout...

Apparently it "predates" his relationship with UConn.

what a ducking joke...this kid has to miss more games than players who engaged in a flat out brawl wearing their team's uniform

 

[ASweet3781]

Outrageous. How can there still be questions about this?

Per Ed Daigneault, it's for the same reasons that held him out earlier this year.

My guess is the NCAA got somebody new to talk.

this really sucks

 

[johnhuskies95]

Does anyone know what the rules are with this sort of thing in terms of vacating the season? Is the whole season vacated if he just played in 10 games?

 

[UConner]

This smells like get Calhoun to me

*K...*K...*K the NCAA. This really screws the team over and stints his development. Who the *k are they going to play at PG, Allen?

Unreal. The fact that guys like Cam Newton can never miss a single game when its documented their family received cash gifts and a guy like Boatright has to miss games while the NCAA drags its feet is mind boggling.

Sticking it to us for the whole Drummond/scholarship situation.

Any other interpretation is just naive.

I guess on the bright side, this opens the door for guys like Roscoe and Deandre.

Friday the freaking 13th!

Stay calm and carry on

That is a very good point. We are losing 25-30 minutes a game. If TO is hurt, this team will look awfully similar to last year. Besides last years MOP and this years manchild, of course.

Uconn followed the procedure and sat Boatright the first time he was being reviewed. So if they actually do find something where hes ineligible then i dont think they can vacate a thing since he was cleared once already.

I can't imagine that the NCAA would vacate games considering that they cleared the player. As Tenspro said, this clearly smells like payback about Drummond.

Also, I wonder whats happening to those 400 tickets of friends/family that were going to be at the game in South Bend. Stubhub is going to have some serious deals.

What the h*ll

 

[Mots010]

You better believe they'll vacate those wins if this turns anything up. Derrick Rose?
