Luis has played in the G league but that’s not a problem anymore. The problem is he signed a 2 way NBA contract. That’s still considered a deal breaker with the NCAA. It’s what made Bediako different at Alabama.

There are multiple guys that are going to challenge this in court. I guess the thinking is one will break through which will set precedent for everyone else.

Bediako's initial Spurs' contract after going undrafted was a two-way deal.

I knew Will had something up his sleeve. We're going to be shooting fish in a barrel once this is finalized.

That's what I meant, sorry if unclear. Bediako signed a 2 way deal so they ruled him ineligible. Luis also signed a 2 way deal.

As cool as it sounds, I really dislike the state of basketball recruiting. The 5x5 rule I can understand, but if you got drafted, played in the G-League, or signed a two-way sorry you can't go back to college.

I'm OK with the idea of guys from overseas if they aren't above a certain age.

It's far too late to put Pandora back in its box.

I don't think American kids playing in G League should be treated worse than Euros playing pro basketball and coming here to play.

I'd rather none of it, but if these are the rules we're going to go after them if it helps us win.

I believe he signed but never played? I could be wrong but if that's the case I bet that is the route we are going to try and pursue.


If it works I don't know, but it would be sweet!

Definitely, and I'm sure that has to help Wade's cause here (legal precedent)

Will not surprise me at all to see Chest lead the Southland in rebounds next season.

Was sounding like Ole Miss for a second, much more happier with Michigan.

Would be a good guard to have come off the bench!

Gonna be a lot of teams scrambling to figure out to handle this. Meanwhile Will Wade is sitting on a pile of available playing time and money.
