Isaac Humphries 7'0" 245, 2016 to Kentucky

[wufan]

I like it!

[WstateU]

Maybe he'll just switch schools, which sometimes happens among the basketball prep school crowd, and announce that he's finishing his career at Sunrise in anticipation of signing at WSU in November. At a minimum, that would vibrate the roof.

That would be a roof rattler.

... and loosen more of my screws; this literally 'knocked my socks off'...




Hey, anyone seen my socks?

I heard from a source that Isaac is trying to reclassify to 2015 and become eligible for next season. Anyone else hearing this?

I would prefer that he doesn't do this. If we can get him, I'd like for him to come here in 2016. Maybe it's just because I'd hate to see anyone else on the current team leave.

You are talking about a junior in high school suddenly graduating after 3 years.

Not uncommon amongst foreign students even non-athletes

I'm no expert on these types of situations, but then how did KU get a 16-year old Sviatoslav Mykhailuk eligible? From what I understand is that as long as you've met the requirements with the NCAA clearinghouse, then you're eligible.

This also says he's a high school senior. http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/isaac-humphries

A good example is Sheldon Cooper.

Seriously, don't talk out of your ass unless you understand the process. Isaac just came over here in the 14-15 season. That means he had at least two years (but probably more) of high school in Australia, which could translate into three or more here. I've seen it happen with multiple exchange students that come over for a year or two of high school. Also, Australia starts high school in the 8th grade in many areas there, so when someone comes over as a junior they have three years under their belt already. Other countries have similar classifications. It all boils down to whether the high school determines he has enough credits to graduate when given the most favorable analysis. Other countries also start kids in kindegarten when they are 4 so don't let ages of players fool you.

But I forgive you.

See my dissertation above. Another good reason for foreign athletes to come over, is that it gives them options to be seen in what is essentially a free year. The ones that are marginal in credits usually go to a prep school, which has made Sunrise such an attractive destination.
