Sure. Tahj Jones isn't playing this year because of his grades, and 2012 recruits Avery Johnson and Jeremy Liggins didn't qualify. There are probably more that I'm missing.

"Amateur" athletics are a joke. These kids are being used for their play and it is one big business.

I would love it if every kid was like Barrett Jones. They aren't. I know that. You know that. Everyone knows that.
