As a Birminghamian I'd be thrilled but am afraid these exhibition tix will probably push 200.00 plus

I'll only attend if Mantas can suit up.

The issue for Mantas is that he played for Golden States summer league team. It’s unclear if that rules him out, if he is ruled eligible, it will be by the hair of his chin. Our hope is that Kentucky needs a European player with a similar background made eligible, and when the SEC bends over backwards to accommodate that player they end up having to let Mantas play under the same logic.


This X post seems to address the Summer League issue:

I think all players in all college sports should be declared ineligible and we just stop this nonsense all together.

Status of Mantas and Ngoy?


Maybe we need a modern cheer:

“Sue them Tigers,
Let’s get legal,
File that suit,
You War Damn Eagles!
Hey!”

Maybe we can bring in Alexander Shunara or somebody to be our own Mr. Two Suits

I assum3 they are in school. It was inter to see SP support of Stankey, it means we feel our case is different than LSU’s.

Just need to get this settled

I just now watched this highlight reel of Dowd for the first time. Did ya notice around the 0:16 part of the video, he blocked the hell out of Chad Baker-Mazara's layup? That was the USC version of CBM.

I know it's a highlight reel video but Dowd seems to have a really nice all-around game. He has a nice flow to his game.

Lots of fun highlights from Auburn Hoops twitter on a public scrimmage from yesterday. Guards (Haad, KO, GK3) appear dominant and Oboye looks great.

Bad news: Freeman was commentating, so clearly not healthy. And I did not see Mantas anywhere in the video.

Preseason practice starts tomorrow so hopefully we'll get some clarity on the international guys

recently out of the boot and cleared. They are being extra careful with him.

rando on on3 said this regarding the two internationals

quote:

Talked to a huge donor close to SP. Steven said he was playing them both, regardless what anyone says. Said our record would be about the same if we didnt play them vs having to forfeit games for playing them. SP says ZFG what anyone says. We'll see, just thats what he's telling boosters right now.

Paywall so I will leave some context off

from hoke.

quote:

The expectation internally is that Ngoy will be cleared. There is less certainty surrounding Rubstavicius. If Rubstavicius is ruled ineligible by the NCAA, I anticipate he would file suit seeking a temporary restraining order (TRO). I would expect many, if not most, international players who are ruled ineligible to immediately seek a TRO as well. I would be surprised at this point if Rubstavicius didn't file suit, assuming he's not cleared.

My understanding is that using the current rules that were also in place when he signed Mantas is ineligible and will have to file for an injunction. Ngoy as I understand is eligible.

Why did SP run his mouth about supporting Sankey then.


To some they see Euro Pro and think the highest order of basketball associations. They're going to see him defend SEC against pros and then reverse course.

I believe we’re getting Jason Gardner Jr next Monday. #64 in top 100 on 247 sports.

I ask myself why a lot when it comes to SP so I'm not the right one to answer that question.

It's something to do with playing in a league that has minimum contracts but I'm with you on his actual level. He's a nice piece and he can score but he's not going to make or break this season
