Oso planning to go pro
Five year clock ruleIf you follow the link in the article, it says Izzo does not believe Joey will get the waiver to play immediately but expects Joey to play 3 years for MSU. Only way that happens is to contest the first year that he was in school and push for a medical waiver to get year 6.
Feel sorry for the kid. He's been unhappy and quit on his high school and college team. He has to live with being labeled a "quitter."
Mentioned here...https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/michigan-state/spartans/2019/09/24/michigan-state-basketball-tom-izzo-practice/2432313001/https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/michigan-state-university/2019/09/24/michigan-state-spartans-joshua-langford-returns-basketball-court/2432511001/I did not mean this as a thread to bash Joey. I am just trying to figure out what the rationale is.
This thread is embarrassing
Joey who?
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
Yep. People here seem to never tire of ripping the Hausers. Much of it either nonsensical or made up.
Just the Hausers?
Nope.
So why the pearl clutching over the Hausers?The cheap shots are dumb. But only slightly more so than the "how dare you speak ill of those fine young men" routine. Newsflash - fans generally don't show much love to players who choose to leave their teams ... unless, you know, they're bad.It's not exactly shocking.
Don't trust mlive articles. You don't ax for a Five Year Rule Waiver until your time has been exhausted. He's asking for immediate eligibility.Who knows all the claims and pleas that may come up. 'they made me come there early after a weird injury', etc... but, that's what this is about. It's not a 5 year rule waiver thing. It's a now thing.
he is petitioning that his first year shouldn’t count towards eligibility because he couldn’t participate and mostly that he was misinformed on the impact to his eligibility
Pearl clutching? Saying "How dare you"...Really? That's more than a little over the top. Since when is setting the record straight when people say dumb or provably false things a crime. You do it rather frequently and in general I applaud you. Don't want to call out morons who claim Joey H quit on his HS team when he broke his ankle? Fine, no problem. But why rip those who do?
Well, in that case, Joey didn’t break his ankle...
Sorry, tore ligaments that required surgery - much different. Guess he did quit on his high school team.
Jay Bee has it right. He is petitioning for immediate eligibility. That has nothing to do with his "first year" and whether it counts or not. There is next to no reason the NCAA would allow such a waiver.
Agreed. Character revealed on some of the Wojo worshippers.
The Baby Hauser quit on his team at Marquette. He didn't get his rattle so he ran out on his teammates. The Baby Hauser let them down pure and simple. He can transfer, but by gosh, follow the rules.
