Yemi Makanjoula commits to Tennessee

The 'AA requires him to make X hours of progress towards a degree each semester. Withdrawing, unless he's coming back in the summer to pick up those hours, would be irrelevant. Pretty sure that's not happening.

Hat, Hopson is pretty close to his degree. In fact, if he had not withdrawn this semester he would have been only 6 hours shy of his degree. There is no way he is going to affect the APR negatively.

When he posts a 0 in hours accumulated for a semester in which he participated, it most certainly has a negative effect. Ask USC about that.

Isn't the academic judgement always placed on the prior semester? I'm asking. I don't know, but assumed it always has because most of these guys leaving early don't finish the last semester.

No, if you participate in a given semester, that academic unit is measured. It's why USC got blistered for Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt not finishing up the spring semester they left for the pros.
 
You should worry more about yourself. I'd hate for you to have to hit up the high school and low level college coaches you hang out with in your Bobby Maze Is Excellent circle for loans.

Bobby Maze is Excellent?????? Never stated such. Like I said, you can pick the amount. I can cover it...LOL

And it isn't as simple as you make it out to be. Yes the AA has progression requirements, but if he formally withdrew this semester and is as close to graduating as I have heard, there won't be a problem. He's only been at UT for three years and has almost four years of hours.

You might want to revisit the APR calculation.....

They don't. That's why you learn a great deal about a guy's character and loyalty to his college coach and program by seeing whether or not he completed his final semster.
 
Supposedly, and I know all the dangers of believing KNS stories, Hopson was keeping up with his academics wherever he was training, by arrangement with is his instructors. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

That's what I'm saying. If he didn't participate in the final semester, it doesn't count, according to that wording. I believe he'll be in good academic standing and I believe he hasn't been participating in school this final semester.

How in the world was he able to play in the spring semester then?

I thought there was a minimum classload you had to take unless it was your final credits for graduation or you had already graduated?

By participating, I mean playing. He most certainly played, though wildly inconsistently, in the Spring semester. If he withdrew from classes in February, I'd say the folks from the 'AA are going to interested to see UT's excuse for playing a guy in the NCAA Tournament who wasn't an active student.
 
I said Ware was wildly overrated from day one. I said all along that Jones would struggle to qualify.

If you think Hopson, who hasn't been to class since February and has had Larry Marshall interviewing agents since before the season started, was ever coming back, I can't help you.

The Harris clan aren't idiots. When at least five guys who would be picked ahead of you stay in school, that's the signal to ditch any plan that doesn't involve being in the draft.

In 2009. I'm pretty sure my opinion on his failure to develop anything that resembled basketball skills in the last two years is well documented. He's like the dominant Little League pitcher who's no better at 18 than he was at 12.

Under their scenario, you don't even have to be enrolled in school. If Hopson withdrew in February, the 'AA beatdown for Pearl's lying will look tame compared to what we get for playing a guy who wasn't even a student.
 
First of all, I am not 100% certain Hopson is as close to graduating as I heard. I got the info from an administrator at UT, but it wasn't someone in a pertenent department. As far as the APR goes, I am not 100% certain there are contingencies for making extraordinary academic progress. In other words, if he was 18 hours away from graduating at the start of spring semester during his JUNIOR year of school, I believe, but am not certain, if he properly withdrew from school the APR would not get hit.

There really aren't. If you tank an entire semester that you play in, regardless of your progress, the school gets docked at least a single point. What you've done in previous semesters can't save that.
 
be easy on him. Being outed as a fraud has ruined his entire day.

poor thing.
Keep talking. Why don't you cry anti-semitism again? You're a piece of garbage who worships the same. I forgot commenting on Ware at a point when he still appeared to be a sound prospect. You, being the Pearlesque, duplicitous, lying waste of oxygen you are, said nobody called Ware's game out until he decommitted. The record is clear that I, and several others, soured on Ware after he looked like JP Prince II in the summer of 2010.

Now, go back to telling everyone how Tobias Harris was going to pass on millions and a first round slot to come back to UT because Bruce Pearl is the messiah.
