Possible Kentan Facey Eligibility Issues

Think press like this could hurt recruiting for 2014 kids? If I'm a rival coach I'm telling kids and there parents look at the ban last year and the crap they have going on over there now!

Jordan is fully academically eligible

Is he enrolled at UConn? I thought he was going to prep school to develop his football skills more before enrolling at UConn second semester.

Nope. Pretty sure KO will be in very good graces with the NCAA.

It appears I'm a month late on news. He enrolled at Milford Academy. That ends that.

Without question, Facey will be ruled ineligible to the furthest extent of the NCAAs power. Not being negative for two reasons:

1. The NCAA generally does not act in favor of the athlete in this sort of situation. It's not like he took money as an SEC football player or anything.

2. Historical precedent with UConn. Bang them til they bleed.

This makes me sick. Absolutely disgusted.

From what I found, Kentan Facey was born 07/14/1994, which makes him currently Age 19 (as of last month), but still Age 18 at the time of Graduation from Lutheran in June/May. Back track 3 years, that would have made him Age 15, nearly Age 16 when he graduated from High School in Jamaica? So maybe he should have enrolled at UConn when he was Age 16!

Yet, College Basketball allows players like Mitch McGary, OJ Mayo,Tyler Hansbrough, Taj Gibson to be 20/21 year old Freshman, with 4 years of eligibility. Amazing!

And Don Mattingly's 26-year-old son is about to play basketball at Lamar.

The stupidity of the NCAA never fails to astound. Blow it up!

HE IS A MILFORD (AKA PRISON CAMP) I MEANT HE IS FULLY QUALIFIED NOT THERE FOR ACADEMICS-

Uconn just hired an assistant for Warde that has 10 years working enforcement issues at the NCAA. One would think she can get the NCAA's attention on this prior to the start of the season.
