Don't you lose eligibility when you're 25? He has to be closing in on that before the years up.

According to the link below he was born June 1996... so pushing 26 by end of the season.

A couple of ex-MU guys going head-to-head tonight. One I liked, one I really didn't, but I think didn't's team will likely scrape by.

I knew exactly who this was without (well, before) looking.  Impressive.

Wouldn't mind seeing Jamal pull a Ja

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

So....Jamal would be pretty nice to have around eh?  Would certainly love to see him getting OMP's minutes.  Bummer on that one. 

[tower912]

10 minutes a game?   Nah.   Let him enjoy playing closer to home at a lower level.

He'd be playing a lot more than 10 minutes per game.  He'd probably be our third best player.

Don't let Ners hear you say that. He thinks Jamal would be the Phoenix Suns' third best player. Or better.

[Herman Cain]

Koby McEwen continues his solid play for Weber State. Team is 9-3 and leading the Big Sky. Good chances they make the tournament.

In a close game at half MSU v Oakland

Jamal Cain 5-6, 3-3 from 3, 13 pts and 3 boards.

Joey Hauser 1-2 for 2 pts.

That's great to see. I loved Jamal at MU and happy to see both him and Elliott having some recent success. Really with they were still doing it together, but as has been said before it seems like Jamal made a good choice

As long as he didn't dribble.

[mileskishnish72]

I think Jamal did what he felt he would like to do, and good for him. Yes, he would have been better to watch than OMP (or at least OMP so far) but he could psych you up or bum you out when he was at MU. Still, I gotta admit I liked the kid.

Glad to see Jamal hitting some 3s. He got off to a rough start from downtown this season, but we know he's a pretty solid shooter from the college 3 line. He'll have to prove he can hit that shot to have any chance at all at the next level. I'm rooting for him!

Also glad to see Joey is making his typically strong contribution.

Yep.  Aren't you glad to see Jamal found a place he can play at a level more conducive to his ability?     What are your thoughts on his ability playing against the 26th most difficult schedule this season so far and averaging 21ppg, with an eFG of 55.9% and averaging 9 rebounds per game? 

Jamal would have been our best player on the team this year, and a great fit.  Was unfortunate Shaka couldn't convince him to stay.

Seems like Jamal knew Joey sucks at closeouts and bites hard on pump fakes.

Yes, I am happy for how well he is doing this season for his Horizon League team. I've always liked Jamal.

The rest of your post is opinion based on hypothetical situations.

It would have been great if Shaka could have kept him; it's probably better for him that he moved on. He's getting to play 35-40 minutes every game, something in my opinion he would not have come close to doing for our Power 6 team.

We Are Marquette, Not Oakland!

That's 7 seconds of awesome!!  Love it!   

[tower912]

Just another guy with the Ja M as the first three letters of his name dunking on Joey. 

[GoldenDieners32]

Was actually at the MSU vs Oakland game, glad to see Jamal dominate joey

[tower912]

Oakland is going to be very good in the Horizon.    They played Sparty tough.    Sparty just had more weapons and depth.     Izzo has a record against Oakland similar to MU's against UWMilwaukee.

Don't you lose eligibility when you're 25? He has to be closing in on that before the years up.

No. One's eligibility depends upon initial full time enrollment to start the five year clock. Some international kids have mandatory military service and can't enroll until after they're 20 or older, or Mormon kids who take a mission before (or after) enrolling. Then there are redshirts, medical hardships, and bow, the COVID year.

Remember, Chris Weinke was 28 when he won the Heisman at Florida State after playing baseball for six years.

Very Interesting comments by Jamal's coach at Oakland on his draft status and ability to perform in the Horizon League. Something for all points of view on Jamal.

Good article, 9-9-9. Thanks for posting.

I hope Jamal absolutely crushes it in the Horizon League, gets drafted, makes an NBA roster and goes on to have a solid NBA career.

I will be happy to tell Ners, "On this one, you were right and I was wrong. It doesn't happen often."
