James Wiseman Leaves Memphis

So Josh Carlton > James Wiseman as college basketball player.

Did not see that coming.

1. Will the NBA stop making players who are ready wait a year before they can sign? And stop making colleges deal with this insanity?

2. Well, anyone who didn't think the AAC was up for grabs was wrong. We (now) have the talent to compete if we can stop having to choose between too many turnovers and controlling the turnovers by having the initial dribbler just force up an early shot.

You saw yesterday's game?

When you look at the details of the violation there's no way a high school junior/senior is mature enough to first understand the nuance of the violation, and then have the courage to call foul play and refuse to attend the university all on his own.

The large majority of responsibility in this case falls on Hardaway and Wiseman's mother.

Here's a picture, interested?

Your post made me think of the die-hard UConn fan who always used to post here and then started saying he couldn't stand UConn bball anymore because of their unethical treatment of Ollie and announced he was pledging his allegiance to Ed Cooley and Providence bball.

Totally blanking on his handle, does anyone remember? His twitter was fairly creepy, it was all about him jumping on the Cooley train.

I can't remember his handle here for the life of me but here's his Twitter. Maybe it jar someone else's memory

The latest Tweets from Pay Kevin Ollie (@Husky_Turned). Big East ball by day, exposing corruption at UConn by night. I loved UConn until it wasn't UConn anymore. In the real world I don't smile much #GoFriars #pcbb. East Coast

This is the best move for him. Memphis doesn't deserve him anyway. He'll be playing for the Knicks next season I hope!

I was all for his fight with the NCAA I either wanted to see him on the court or get paid for the money he potentially lost by coming to college under the assumption he was cleared. They decided to not pursue it when the NCAA was willing to reach a deal with him. 12 games is a lot. Never make an open-ended agreement with the NCAA.

Memphis is probably an NCAA team but I don't see them as the favorites now. Let's go win this damned AAC before we leave it.

If the kid is the real deal hopefully he doesn't land on the Warriors. The Warriors could have a little 96/97 Spurs in them.

I love how people think if he played for UK/Duke this would get washed away. It wouldn't. Those programs cheat but not this blatantly. If Coach Cal got caught paying for a recruit's home Kentucky would get hit hard.

Well, why bother with parental housing or moves when sneaker or other companies, alumni or other boosters, etc allegedly enable no show and/or no work jobs for UK or Dookie players’ parents? For example, allegedly Duhon, Maggette, Williamson, et al? Shockingly, Hardaway screwed up. ;)

I 100% believe he's the real deal. The way he moves, his measurables, his overall game is insane. We need this guy bad!
 
That’s definitely good for Carlton and Whaley because they both were about to get the business from this kid.

They probably won't.

The NCAA got exactly what they wanted out of this. The gave Wiseman an additional 3 games for the games he played. Both Wiseman and Memphis were very strategic with the restraining order. Memphis was specifically told to not use the NCAA verdict against him while under the TOR.

Since Memphis was a defendant in the case, doing so would have been bad legally for Memphis. (At least on paper).

Cheaters know how to cheat and get better at it. Memphis has learned from its many infractions in the past.

Not true. Coaches at lower divisions pay for players. Easier way to climb the ladder if you cheat.

A couple of bucks out of their pocket sure. But those guys don't make any money. No booster network. No shoe money. No AAU money.

The only difference between those programs and memphis is that memphis decided to "make a statement" and throw it in the NCAA's face for reasons no one is quite sure of. had they not done that, it would've been the same slap on the wrist they gave duke or kentucky. hell i thought 11 games, or whatever it was, was a slap on the wrist as it is.

He won't hurt his stock by not playing. My guess he still ends up in the top 3 at worse.

The real move is to cancel all college athletics and go to the professional developmental program model. I think the only college sports teams are in the US and maybe English rugby. I look forward to the day.

I would settle for college "pro franchises." No sham students, college only for those who want it, the ones who don't get paid. All expenses are paid for by franchise revenues, none from the academic side. Let them have sponsors, agents, boosters, etc. Go wild.

What an idiot. He left those class credits on the table like that?

Sad, but true. Now he'll have nothing to fall back on if he hires Antoine Walker's agent.

Yeah, had he not played he'd still have been top 3.

As I said, I hope he ends up a Knick. He is exactly what we need inside. His ability to start the break, stretch the floor from the 5 position, his passing ability, and his overall skill in general, is a perfect compliment to Knox and Barrett.

So, he's two for two. Liked Ollie and that blew up, and now Cooley's on the downtrend.

His twitter handle is “pay Kevin Ollie” I believe.

Lol can always go back to school. I went back and finished graduate after military retirement.

He'll make a cool 8-12 mil worst case. Change his and his family's lives.

Best case, he'll be a Knick legend, be worth a billion +, and win several NBA ships!

You're putting a lot of stock in that game. A lot of it sucked. So what? It happens. Have a Snickers and weigh in mid-January. If you turn out to be right, the insight & upset will still be there.
