Disappointing but not surprising. I'm not holding out hope for him to be eligible at all this year if it requires any sort of waiver for 2nd semester (I don't know if its automatic or will still require approval). At this point in recruiting, if you have a player needing a waiver, you need to recruit as if that player doesn't exist. Going into the year with 10 Scholarship players and no PG is a really bad start. (though to be fair, Ricks leaving probably isn't something they could have known).

The NCAA is so mad at KU for their transgressions that they are penalizing WSU by denying a transfer's eligibility.Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss

I know it's cool to be upset with the NCAA, but I think this has a lot more to do with Cortes and OU dropping the ball and failing to keep him eligible.
I wasn't completely sold on Cortes as the man to be a great PG, but he was still the only PG we had. Not having him is going to really harm the team this year. I may have to go back and look at the schedule, but 10 wins might be an accomplishment.
Can we finish top 10 in the conference?
Can we beat Lipscomb?Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

Edit: Realize he can’t go JUCO. Still think he never plays here.
If he isn't eligible to play next semester than your bet that he never plays a minute for the Shockers may very well prove to be a winning bet.
Either way, based on what I learned about Bijan in Taylor Eldridge's recent article there is no assurance that Bijan will be the answer at point guard if and when he can play. He apparently has to make some significant changes to how he plays. But sometimes adversity makes you better and more focused and I hope Bijan uses this as motivation, becomes eligible ASAP , rebuilds his game and kicks ass for the Shocks.Last edited by 1972Shocker; November 3, 2023, 03:21 PM.

Just play him and tell the NCAA to come get some. ****, send the NCAA video of him playing. They had more on KU and they got off without even a warning.

I don't know. But I will say this. If it were me, and after fall grades are posted he's "ok" with the NCAA regs, then **** it and just play him. What's the NCAA going to do? Somebody gonna run into the gym and pull him off the court? They gonna make us take down our 10th place AAC finish at the end of the year? Change the book to show 5 wins were actually losses?

I am sticking with my previous prediction that he would not eligible for the current fall semester, but will be eligible for the winter/spring semester. I base that on the information I have at my disposal with is absolutely nothing.

I wasn't real excited when we signed him. He's the best PG we have on the roster .. but that doesn't mean he's going to be great. Just means he's the best out of necessity. Really looking forward to seeing how Mills handles that this year and in recruiting for next year.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan
