While you could very well be right, that just seems like such a chicken-poop way to impose a penalty. It's so wishy-washy.

I'm with you - it shouldn't be hard to figure out one way or another. Policies should be in place, and you measure the situation up against those policies. It's not like we're trying to split the atom here.

In other words, standard NCAA operating procedure.

"Just because we can't prove it doesn't mean it didn't happen" boom

But man are they experienced and have played forever together though! (Evidently this is true even when you lose 3/5 of your starting lineup somehow).

Guess the people that think with two projected 1st round picks we might not get "beaten like a rented mule" are just sheep beholden to whatever insiders tell us though!

That starting 5 looks absolutely wild to me: a junior transfer with a chip on his shoulder, a fifth year guy, and three talented freshman. Worst case scenario? They look lost out there and can't figure out how to play together. Best case scenario? They demonstrate immediate chemistry and significantly raise the floor for expectations going into this season. Can't wait to see what happens.

What are the chances we actually see Tomi cleared before our first game against EIU?

Slim to none … My guess (and this is purely guess and what I hear from staff) is that we are going to go through the same situation that happened with Big Z … Think this could be a situation that leaks into the new year … I’ve heard it could be done before then but we literally just have no idea at this point … So I’m preparing for the worst …

And it’s 10000000000% on the NCAA …

We are very young, and there will be some bumps along the way for sure. We knew that, but we also know the supreme talent on this roster

Should be fun to watch. Guys will have to be at the top of their games with the bench/depth we have.
