The NCAA got pissed at Bilas pointing out their sketchiness and took it out on Ndoye?

He apparently won't be cleared to play, will have to redshirt, and is allowed to practice.


He is a project big man, do maybe this isnt the worst thing in the world. Let him get some more weight on, learn the system, and dominate the 14-15 season!...or something like that.

Remember when he had to clarify to everyone on twitter that he was still coming to State? Maybe this is why he felt it necessary to post something. He is a transfer student from Africa correct? He's probably missing some classes required to be eligible or something.

According to Coach Ray ...

He apparently won't be cleared to play, will have to redshirt, and is allowed to practice.

Fallou still not 100% cleared by State and then, has to be to be cleared by NCAA amateurism eligibility center.

Also, Ray said that Travis Daniels is still waiting on summer grades to see if he makes to State from JC.

I thought that someone posted last month that the 'whole' team had reported and was working out together. At least that's what I thought they said.

I don't know ask the best shot blocker we have ever had.

That's all he could do was swat shots. He wasn't even a grood rebounder..
I imagine if he had a few more lbs on him an an outside shot he would be seeing regular minutes in the NBA.

Yup never understood why he went to asia in the offseason, where he actually lost weight, instead of staying here and lifting and eating.

Centers are on their way out anyway. Look at the NBA. The "#1" center in the draft was 6'11'' 200 lbs. I don't think it's any different in the NCAA. 3 guards, 2 forwards. 2 guards, swing man, 2 forwards.

Guy was going to redshirt anyway... so I don't see the big deal here. He needs a nutritionist and a professional weight program. It's not as if this kid grew up in the US and had McDonald's 3-7 times a month like all the other kids his size that we worry about not filling out.

Lewis was operated on again Wednesday,his patella fracture has not healed. He will be out for awhile. We may be the only SEC basketball program to sign /committ 2 players that average 8 or less pts per game- Ndoye and Black

right..we would have been better off without him. ok

The question was about him being to slim to play big man in SEC. The answer to that question is absolutely not.

He averaged 10.3 rebounds per game his SR season and 8.8 as a JR. I'd say that's pretty good.
