I agree

someone posted on the rb a long time ago to look out for prime prep kids not making the grade or being ineligible or something like that.

why even take that chance?

That sounds like some BS. The article even says the players had good grades. I hope the players win their appeals. I also wonder if those other 2 players in the next 2 classes start looking at going to a different school.

That's a shame but better him than Martin or Quarterman IMO


I disagree. I think Mickey, with his game, was going to make the the most immediate impact. 6'8, athletic defender who could also knock down the mid-range shot. I think Martin and Quarterman are going to be good, but it's probably going to take them a little longer to adjust to the college game.

I feel for the kids. They get misled by these sleezy adults who "cough....have the kids' best interests in mind" and are the ones who end up paying the price. The Prime Preps, Finley Preps, and (insert name here) Preps are nothing more than offshoots of AAU groups trying to pose as ligitimate educational institutes

It looks like LSU needs to buy the Premium Membership to the NCAA. Chicken do you have the inside scoop on this?

I just don't understand these Prep Schools. Sucks if Mickey can't play. Only time will tell.

Martin is a lot better than Mickey at this point. Better Mickey than Martin imo.

High school/AAU basketball is a shady business.

And the ones that suffer are the athletes. Deion Sanders won't get in any trouble over lying to these guys and fricking up their careers.

Hoping worst case scenario Mickey will be eligible for the spring semester and would be available for SEC play. Stromile went through the same thing his freshmen year. This is bullshite though!
