Noel.....

[mhall]

Well here we go again with another bigtime UK recruit being looked at by the NCAA. Is it just me or is this gonna be an every year event under Calipari? How many times will it take to throw mud against the wall before it finally sticks?
Now the stuff they are looking at is all BS and won't amount to squat, the bigger issue is his grades. He right now is NOT eligible to play and rumor has it, he's dumb as moss on a tree stump.

Not hatin so please rest that. All I'm saying is every single year you hear this stuff about one of Calipari's recruits, every single year. Right after the title game there are pics now showing Davis hugging World Wide Wes and a bigshot from Nike that was sitting right behind the bench..........Hmmmm? It's only a matter of time boys I'm telling ya, I hope that banner came with Velcro, lol...Welcome to the wonderful world of Calipari.

It's a sportswriter with a personal vendetta. He's spent the last 3 summers trying to dig up something on UK's recruits.

If Noel goes somewhere else, this is a non-story. Same thing with Davis and Bledsoe. Nothing was ever uncovered for any of them.

Investigate all the recruits. Look at each of them with a microscope make sure they meet all the qualifications. But, make sure that all other recruits are looked at with the same microscope

No arguments there fellas, none at all. But like Lachlean McClain said last night and you can't argue with this statement.

''When you have numberous games vacated from your record including TWO Final Fours you have to expect this kind of scunity"

It is what it is.

This is nothing to do with the reporter whatsoever. This is the NCAA snooping around at Noel's old high school. Read this line:

"Cindi Merrill and Frank Smith, assistant directors of enforcement with the N.C.A.A., went to Everett High School on Tuesday to meet with school officials about the 6-foot-10 Noel, who spent his freshman and sophomore years there. Merrill and Smith specialize in basketball-related issues."

It has ZERO to do with a reporter with a personal agenda.

Now all that being said, he hasn't played a game for UK, so whatever they find, if they rule him ineligible, will not be on UK, it will just mean they lost a recruit.

I think you SORELY mistaken about Bledsoe. He was dirty, a LIAR and a CHEATER. I don't know if Calapari knew or not, but if he DID, then he's just as bad.

I don't know anyone.......ANYONE who can take an advanced math class and get an A without ever passing basic math classes. If you have ever taken an advanced math class, you know exactly what I mean.

I agree.

His grades will be his biggest hurdle....

You could not possibly be more wrong about Bledsoe. The attorney office that the state of Alabama hired basically said in their report that there were an alrming number of improprieties in Bledsoe's academic standpoint, but the state of Alabama decided to ignore their own investigator's report and rule that he was okay. They then changed their rules so a Bledsoe case would not happen again.

This is what I thought I remembered as well but didn't want to speak out because I wasn't certain about it.

I know one thing...... I saw an interview with him once........Good Lord, hillarious....Don't know what language he spoke in, but it wasn't any kind of English I was accustomed to, lol.

^^^^This.

And, quite honestly, I'm fine with it.

You'd have to be dumber than a box of pig excrement to lie, cheat, or steal when you know the whole world is watching you and waiting for you to do it...salivating at the opportunity to chew you up and spit you out. It'd be like an officer in Vietnam putting on a red tee-shirt and walking out into an open field knowing that there were 437 VC snipers in the tree line.

But there is no formal investigation into Noel or Kentucky. A couple of NCAA folks stopped by to snoop around at his high school and determine if there should be an investigation opened. Right now, nothing. The stuff in question appeared to be funding of his travel to take unofficial college visits, because he flew. This stuff happens every day. It's only news because it's Kentucky/Calipari.

No doubt!!!! Good gosh it made Charles Barkley sound less "turrable".
