Wade and Kiffin didn't create this game. They're just playing it and playing it well.

exactly and they’ll be two of the main ones to hopefully bring about some real change and restrictions by helping burn it all to the ground first with the loopholes

Boot Up

We are already the villain to most people out of state. I'am ready to embrace the pirate mindset and screw the national narrative. Hey Dick Vitale.

Now this is good news!

Hope he's granted eligibility.

10000% percent. Want him in an LSU uniform

but the signing of pros to college sports now is so ridiculous. As fans though we’re very fortunate our program has deep pockets and we have coaches that know how to take advantage of the rules and loopholes. No one outside of any programs fanbase ever remembers how you did it, only that you did it so hopefully this leads to immediate success and frick the haters

So…….
What’s the difference between a G league players that was drafted in basketball and a minor leaguer that signed out of high school ????
Jay go sign some minor league pitchers he he he he thats where all this is going!!

The media is so mad

The Charles Beadiko case (at Alabama) illustrated the distinction (for now).

There were players who were on college basketball rosters last season who initially went straight from HS to the G league, then to college. Those players weren't necessarily "drafted" by a G-league team. They signed with them. The distinction is that none of them played college basketball prior to "retuning to college basketball" like Beadiko briefly did and was eventually prohibited from doing.

Wade obviously knows more about the situation than I, but I have strong doubts Luis will be eligible.

Regardless of the ruling on whether he's eligible or not I appreciate the dedication that this coaching staff and administration are making to the basketball program. That's a win in itself. It tells me the future will be bright even if it isn't next year.

He might not get cleared but there is clear difference between Luis's case and Beadiko's case. Luis has never played in a G league or NBA game. Could end up being the determining factor.

From what I gathered, the precedent set by the NCAA with Bediako is that they deemed him ineligible after a few games because he signed a two-way contract with the Spurs. They specifically stated, we will not allow players to play in college if they signed an NBA contract (including a two-way contract).

RJ Luis did not sign one of these contracts, nor did he ever play in a G-league game.

We'll see what happens, but you can't compare him to Bediako apples to apples.
