Mayo good to go?

[icheights]

I thought I remembered that the second summer session started this week...Anyone know if Mayo is attending/took care of all of his clearinghouse issues?

[Strokin 3s]

There is nothing he can personally do to take care of clearinghouse issues.  Just has to wait til they get around to it.  And no, at this point they have not cleared him.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Why?

[TallTitan34]

It seems like we usually have to wait until around Madness for the clearinghouse to get around to clearing our guys.

[Nukem2]

The NCAA clearinghouse is busy now clearing Fall sports athletes.  Mayo was a late signee, so he needs to "wait his turn".  Unfortunate, but thats life.  Maybe, the NCAA should staff at a higher level, but............

Well, since they are winter sport athletes, that's basically the only deadline the NCAA cares about.

They can't afford it.

I assume ths doesn't require teal.

Remember, a good chunk of the revenues goes right back to the schools and to run the championships at all three division levels.

Another idea might be to recruit some kids that don't have to go through the Clearinghouse every year....that is also not in teal.

[BCHoopster]

Chico, this might be one of the issues, as a private school it is obvious you can let questionable kids into the program.
Any kid that has been at 3 or 4 high schools, I would bet had some scholastic issues.  I hope it works out for Mayo.

[4everwarriors]

Hold the mayo.

[4everwarriors]

Didn't we just bring in a traditional transfer?

What does this even mean???

It means to me that Buzz is recruiting another questionable kid.

[mu03eng]

What other "questionable" kids has Buzz recruited?

[Mobot]

What other "questionable" kids has Buzz recruited?

Maymon, Newbill, Roseboro, the four accused of sexual harassment, the one charged with disorderly conduct, and the one accused of rape.

That being said, I don't have a problem with Buzz's recruiting, he has had far more successes than failures.

When a player signs late in April, it takes some time to get his transcripts together, and it took a little longer to Todd beacuse he went to 2 high schools.  One in WV and one in Memphis (where his brother was playing pro ball) He then went to Prep school for a year.  All of this slows down the procees slighlty and all the late signees fall behind all the football player's that sign in Feb since they are a fall sport and practice starts in early april.  They do not speed up the process so Todd can play in the summer league.  They also look harder at player's that goto more then 1 high school. I have heard nothing that leads me to believe that Todd will not be fully ready to go in the fall.  Also for those of you casting stones at him, the last guy we had to wait on (and went to the same school as Todd ND prep) was Lazar.  So if you are saying that we should not have recruited Lazar because he was going to sign late and was going to take some time to clear you are and idiot.

don't forget all the Juco players we take.  Butler has been a real stain on MU from a PR and basketball standpoint.  Again some people are just Idiots.

The signing date is immaterial.  One can be approved by the Clearing House without signing with a school.  It is a matter of submitting the transcripts, ACT/SAT Score and completing the eligibility questionnaire. 

I agree with the remainder of your post, though.  The delay is more likely tied to the fact he has had 2 high  schools (in different states) and one prep school.  This becomes more difficult to review than if only one transcript were provided.  The NCAA needs to make sure the core class requirement and GPA has been met, and will need to allign all 3 transcripts.

Add to that, the prep factor that the NCAA has more closely scuitininzed over the past several years.

Those that have Clearing House reviews tend to be the ones that have more than one transcript, a prep school &/or have retaken courses due to a failing grade.  To be in a Clearing House review does not automatically mean the athlete is a bad student or "questionable".

BTW, Junior Cadougan wasn't cleared by the clearinghouse until mid-August before his freshman year.  He had the HS in Canada and the one in Houston to deal with.  This isn't a rare occurance folks.  

[reinko]

I transferred schools growing up, got an underage drinking ticket, didn't get the best of grades or test scores, I guess I am questionable.  Who knew!

Butler will not graduate, but to me that does not matter.  You go to college to get a job, he got a great one.  do you think Fulce or Buycks will
graduate?

Are we sure Butler won't graduate?  I remember somewhere back Rosiak saying that Butler had enough credits to graduate simply by taking a single spanish class in the spring semester.  And based on his tweets Butler was in that class.

[SaintPaulWarrior]

Butler will not graduate

Lambert said this is just the beginning for Butler.

''He is a sweet kid, and he's not a dumb kid,'' she said, drying her eyes yet again. ''He'll graduate with a degree in communications on July 9. And we go over all of his interviews to make sure he sounds literate and right. I always tell him, 'Do NOT sound like a thug!'  ''
