Jelavic cleared
- Thread starter chroix
- Start date
Didn't even know this was a question n the NIL era. Leave it to the ncaa to make it an issue but fortunately for once they made the right decision timely.
Seems like they're just announcing it now. I thought he had been practicing since he got here.
Pope ain’t playing!! He’s made it clear to everyone he’s brought in that they are here to try to win a national championship. He is bringing the culture at Kentucky back to where it’s supposed to be. I love it!
He’s a total question mark for me. Excited to see if he is a big contributor or kind of gets lost on this deep roster.
For some reason I expected this to say ineligible and thought that’s what it said. PTSD from old NCAA.
I hope he turns out to be a good player. He looks pretty solid on tape. I’m expecting a solid bench piece but hoping to be surprised for more.
Was my immediate reaction as well. I'd had no idea this was even an issue.
I think the only hold up was deciding how much academic and athletic eligibility he would be granted, since he'd taken college courses overseas while he was a pro and how many of those credits would transfer. Looks like they made him a Sophmore with only 3 years of athletic eligibility. Either way, glad he's fully cleared.
Seems that pic has been touched up a bit; but I noticed BG looks slimmer; and BH looks thicker.i don't think BH gained that muh.
Well I think he is still adjusting to UK and have not heard much about him, but I expect him to be a smart bench player who will use his size appropriately. I don't think he is as a good shooter as some have hoped, but he should still keep the defense on its toes due to being able to shoot.
He shot over 32% from three last year for MEGA on about 3 attempts per game. That's not horrible for a 6-11 front-court guy. And almost identical to what Carr shot last year. With good players around him and benefitting from a Pope offense ... I can see him checking in at low-to-mid 30's for 3-pt percentage this year. Good enough that defenses have to respect him from three.
He made that **** look easy
