Bad news for Seton Hall

Some bad news for Seton Hall fans.

Herb Pope’s initial request for a waiver that would enable him to play for the 2008-09 season has been denied. Seton Hall plans to appeal the decision to the NCAA Subcommittee.

The 6-foot-9 Pope transferred from New Mexico State and was hoping to play this year because of extenuating circumstances related to his family.

Seton Hall, meanwhile, is still awaiting word on whether 6-11 freshman Melvyn “Big Mel” Oliver has been cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse.

“They got all the stuff in the Clearinghouse so they’re waiting to hear back from them right now,” said Victor Evans, Oliver’s high school coach. “You never know. You just give them what they ask for. They’re just waiting. I don’t think it’s going to be a problem. It shouldn’t be.”

If Oliver, Pope and Missouri transfer Keon Lawrence, who is also seeking a waiver to play this year, are not cleared to play, the Pirates will have eight scholarship players, seven when Robert “Stix” Mitchell serves his two-game suspension at the Puerto Rico Tip

Hard to feel bad for them or anyone else when we have had more than our recent share of troubles/bad luck.
IMHO no reason for any of these kids to get preferential treatment.

So what happens with Glover now? Can he still play Div 1 or does he got to go D2? whats the rule? Maybe he ends up at a Mid Major here in NY?

Wow things have really fallen apart at SHU.

I'd be suprised if Gonzo makes it thru this year. The NCAA and the Seton Hall administration are making it hard on him. Guess he shouldnt have burned those bridges

Feel bad fo Baby Glove.
Keep yo head up bre!

Nobody actually thought their waivers would go through.  Seton Hall is in much better shape than STJ.   When Pope and Keon are cleared Seton Hall will be a tournament team and that my friends is a guarantee.

Already talk 'bout Pope headin to Europe.

after what we have been through with basically everything since 2003, i hate to see a program suffer like that...now i dont like gonzo, but i feel bad for the fans and alumni, who have to deal with this kinda stuff, and then, obviously, the players

He left Manhatan in shambles. 2 of his top recruits(CJ Anderson,Dubois) fail off the team all of a sudden when Gonzo leaves? Did they get stupid all of a sudden? I dont know, Somethings not right with that. The NCAA and his own school President have a bullseye on his back because of his actions on and off the court. Im sure the Seton Hall fans arent happy with the situation he has the team in. I for one am glad SJU didnt hire this jerkoff

“He’s no longer interested in Indiana and he’s no longer interested in Seton Hall,” Gamble said Thursday afternoon by phone. “He just wasn’t comfortable with those situations.”

Things are so bad, I'm starting to envy the tranquility you folks are enjoying over at St. John's. Wanna trade coaches?

When Norm was hired I really wanted Bobby G but now I don't know if he would have been any better for us.

I had taught Bobby G. was a good recruiter, what happen???

Bobby G's Pirates looking pretty good to me.
