Kostas Antetokounmpo

[GGGG]

Thanks Jaybee.  So will be allowed to practice next semester assuming he meets some academic standard?

Clearly why many didn't want to take a flyer on him.

Yeah.. he may be able to practice next semester, but won't be eligible to play. This semester, he's unable to even practice. If all goes well, still can play four years (although you've gotta think he'll be in the NBA before then, a1na?)

PS-Dayton's website has updated a headline to state he's an academic redshirt, but don't believe it. With the new academic standards, in D-I you have 3 possibilities as a new kid... (1) full qualifier, (2) academic redshirt or (3) nonqualifier.

Academic redshirts get aid AND can practice immediately. Nonqualifiers can't get either by rule, BUT can get partial waivers to receive aid and/or practice.

Take a guy like Spellman for Nova.. he's an academic redshirt who is getting aid and can practice. Kostas? No. The school has stated he's not allowed to practice. Is he receiving aid? Maybe, maybe not. But, based on not being able to practice, he appears to be a nonqualifier...

[4everwarriors]

Giannis probably adopted him, ai na?

I am not sure what the current rules are, but Wade was a partial qualifier. Part of what was important to that status was that Wade could of played a fourth year, if he got far enough along academically. Now Wade only played two years, so it did not matter. However, if he had stayed all of his records for his sophomore year would have had to be reclassified as freshmen records.

Back then, partial qualifiers existed in D-I. Today, they don't. But, it is possible for a nonqualifier to ultimately compete for 4 years (w/required progress to degree requirements being met)

Dayton's Kostas Antetokounmpo, the brother of Giannis, will redshirt this season, per a source. Will have four years of eligibility.

In time Kostas Antetokounmpo is really going to help Archie Miller. This will be beneficial for his development. Needs weight. Has upside.

This sounds like something someone said a while back...

You know who hasn't chimed in on this development?

Checking on Kosta's girlfriend opinion, status, etc.

what are the actual rules? Is he still allowed on campus and interaction with the coaches? If so, I don't see how this is a big deal? He's still 2+ seasons away from contributing but I can see him being a beast as a 5th year senior. I still would take him over nothing this year and a red-shirting Ike next year, but understand why wojo we,t another way.

If he's not allowed to practice with the team, then I would presume he's not allowed to have interaction with the coaching staff.  Interaction would allow them to be directing him on how to work out, etc., and that defeats the purpose of "no practice with the team."

Not entirely unlike when Todd Mayo was suspended from the team for a semester.

Marquette's current vacant scholarship is going to contribute just as much to MU this season as Kostas is to contribute to Dayton.

It really depends. If he is eligible to practice come January as mentioned as a possibility, then Kostas can learn the system. At that point, do you take a more physically matured and eligible kostas next year or a Ike. As I said, I would think Kostas would contribute more than Ike next year but really nothing to bitch about as a fan. I'm just intrigued by Kostas.

First semester 2012-13

Kostas and his fantastic neck are going pro.

Phew.   MU dodged a bullet there.

Hilarious.

Prime example of why the NBA needs a bonafide minor league system. The kid just wants to play basketball. He's not good enough for the NBA at this point but he doesn't seem interested in going to school in order to play.

[MU82]

Whattayamean not good enough, MM?

The kid averaged 5 points for the mighty Flyers. He'll step right in to an NBA lineup and be a star!

I mean, did you see his neck? And the kid is a pogo stick!!

[MuMark]

G-league and overseas are certainly decent options for him.

Maybe the Bucks will find a spot for him in Oshkosh.

No surprise going pro and doing the camp. You can come back now. I also won't be surprised if Hauser and Howard do that.

He dropped out of school.

He dropped out of school.

Where does it say that? In the article it says he has the option of returning.
