RJ Luis Jr. preliminary injunction hearing tomorrow (11/13)

Tony Clayton will be taking on the NCAA, the SEC and LSU yet again...

Ironically Will Wade is probably hoping for a strict ruling AGAINST LSU, that states LSU must roster the kid or face punishments should LSU or the SEC prevent it from happening.

Kind of seems like LSU has played this perfectly. A loss for LSU is a win for LSU. And a "win" for LSU just means they continue on as they already were, free from any other issues.

All just speculation from the outside looking in though. I have no clue what is actually going on here.

Unfortunately, Luis is probably screwed as far as suiting up in P&G. The Federal Hearing is in six days.

LSU's argument for dismissal of the Federal Case is rock-solid as things stand now. LSU holds the case is moot because LSU has complied with every SEC rule, no matter how capricious or potentially contemptuous to the La Court.

That remains the case as long as LSU does not roster/play Luis.

Here is the bind:
If the court tomorrow issues a strong ruling for LSU ... roster him or face contempt, the Federal Case is no longer moot. The SEC will argue LSU will break SEC rules (even if it is d/t a court order). That ongoing case will effectively lock Luis out, even though in the end, I think the SEC loses.

If there is some lesser finding, but Luis is found eligible (the likely outcome) LSU will not roster Luis for the same reason. If the Federal judge dismisses the Birmingham case, and Luis then plays, the SEC will immediately refile its Federal case.
