This and that before road trip

[davekersey]

Leaving Naples FL June 6, will be on the road after a few stops before arriving at Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. So........here's some guesses since I won't be online much the next three weeks:

Cisse to LSU (shock, shock)
Kuminga to G League
Sarr eligible but not before a fight
Toppin will not succeed on his waiver
Maker may still be in the hunt for UK. NBA not taking a shine to him.

Bon voyage. Go Big Blue.

I have always wanted to go Yellowstone. I hope you have a good time and a safe trip.

 

[chroix]

That’s some of the nicest scenery anywhere in the world. Cheers!

Have a great time, Dave.

What's your route, generally, if you don't mind my asking. I've done some traveling across the country from time to time. As you know, there's lots to see between Naples and Yellowstone ! ! ! Be safe.

 

[westerncat]

Have a safe trip. Have always wanted to see those spots.

I'd be interested to see your takes on Dave's list.

Don't forget to look up John Dutton while you are out there.Just don't piss him off

Sounds like a great trip. I've always wanted to visit the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene. And ... I'm sure you've done it before, but ... I'll never forget how beautiful the Front Range of the Rockies is as you drive toward it from the east across the flat land of eastern Colorado. Spectacular. Enjoy !

Hi Dave, are you coming up I-75 or 95 ? I live in Adel, Ga, but I will at Flea market on exit 5 I-75 this weekend. The flea market is right off the exit 5. If you have a minute stop by. It would nice to meet a fellow UK fan. Go Big blue.

Safe travels my friend

Have a great trip Dave! Be safe and stay away from all the craziness going on.

To echo everyone else, have a safe trip!

Kuminga to the G League? Sad to hear to that, but not overly surprised. Aside from the financial disparity in that initial year, I feel that college is a far better option for most of these kids. That's especially true if you're an elite talent like Kuminga. Not only would he make much more money on a guaranteed contract by being a lottery pick, but his exposure would be exponentially greater than the G-League regardless of where he chose to play college basketball. That's not even mentioning the brand deals that could branch of from that success and exposure. Zion Williamson knows a thing or two about that!

All this got me thinking, could he potentially go this year? I know it's probably way out there and not accurate in the slightest, but I had to ask. That would definitely create some buzz. Can you imagine a team of Daishen Nix, Jalen Green, Greg Brown, Isiah Todd and Johnathan Kuminga? Given the state of everything currently, I expect most start dates to get pushed back. I know he's seventeen currently, but he turns eighteen during the early part of October. Just found that interesting and thought I'd share!

"Sarr eligible but not without a fight"

So what does that mean? They initially rule him ineligible, but later rule him eligible after the appeal?

Tetons is my favorite national park. Did my second backpacking trip there last summer, always so beautiful.

 

[irishcat1965]

Have a safe trip and enjoy yourself.

 

[caneintally]

I suspect Cisse is the only guess there you have right . Maybe the Toppin thing but I severely doubt that. There literally hasn't been a single player who has applied for a waiver not gotten it that I can think of THIS Summer. Waivers for everybody seems to be the NCAA's sentiment with Covid happening ( which is the right way to go ) . Kuminga I suspect ends up at Texas Tech.

 

[Panthur]

Have an awesome time, Dave! I’ll be praying your strength and health start to snowball and fatten up more every mile.

"Sarr eligible but not without a fight"

I can’t speak exactly to what Dave meant by his comment, but I would say a “fight” doesn’t necessarily mean that a waiver request is denied during initial review. Nor is a “fight” always adversarial in nature.

Borderline or complex cases can result in a significant amount of back and forth with NCAA staff involving things like:

• Responding to clarifying questions
• Being asked to explain seemingly contradictory rationales
• Requests for clarification regarding guidelines
• Requests for additional documentation

Often they’re a “fight” not because you’re heatedly debating the NCAA, but because the request simply requires a massive amount of work compared to a more straightforward case.

That work sometimes results in an initial approval, but sometimes requires an appeal. It depends on the unique specifics of the request.
