I’ll hang up and listen.

For reference:


Mantas Rubštavicius (Auburn): The 6-foot-8 Lithuanian wing joined the Tigers after playing for Žalgiris, one of Europe's premier clubs.

Jovic (Auburn): An athletic 6-foot-8 forward from Serbia who came to the SEC after playing for KK Mega, known for producing elite international prospects

.Andrija Jelavic (Kentucky): A highly regarded forward who joined Kentucky out of the European youth and professional pipeline.

Ilias Kamardine (Ole Miss): A talented guard who brought high-level overseas developmental experience to the Rebels.

Andreas Holst (Oklahoma): A 7-foot-0 skilled creator from Denmark who previously played for the Bakken Bears.

Seems ole Stankey and the SEC home office have a little explaining to do in relating to the football guys from 2022 that want to come back.

Because we are unsure of Europe’s rules on the definition of a pro. According to Sankey. Or some dumb shite like that lol

The dumb a** also admitted he didn't know what the 5 for 5 rule was actually about. And couldn't recite it as written, he's the commissioner, it's a policy, and it's all around what we're talking about right now.
That piece of s*** couldn't even tell the lawyers grilling him today exactly what it says. How crazy is that?

They have to meet certain criteria to still be considered eligible. Very different scenario, but going off of what I’ve seen from a lot of LSU fans around this, wouldn’t expect most of you to understand how European sports work.
