Once again, I love Amir Garrett and his commitment to this program.  It speaks volumes about his character.  I want to see him on the court for SJU badly.  Gotta love his enthusiasm and genuine love for this program that we all share.  Wish the other two were as emphatic, but sometimes these things have a way of working themselves out.

Although it would be great for him to build some chemistry with Wood this year, I thought they couldn't play basketball  if they go back to prep school. Is this how it is or are they allowed to play while in prep school?

Amir can't play and even if he could I wouldn't want him too.  He needs to focus on the books and get eligible.

Can he practice with the team to stay sharp?

Maybe he should just study instead

Don't believe you can.  Plus the quotes from their coach don't seem like he's part of the mix.

I don't think he should be allowed to play, and really, he shouldn't be spending any time trying to.
If he doesnt so much as look at a basketball for several months, it would be a great example of lesson well learned.

Not to beat a dead horse, but maybe he should have thought of that earlier. Go to class, do the work and graduate, its not that hard

You should do a better job picking your words.  He graduated.  Just as the others did.  They just didn't meet the NCAA Clearinghouse standards.

Graduated from where? Taking what kind of dopey classes? Lesson learned trying to find an easy way out

You are aware that you can graduate from HS and still not be eligible to play NCAA sports.  Someone referenced someone who graduated somewhere and was accepted to Harvard but didn't pass Clearinghouse standards.

Was accepted to Harvard as a student? or to plya basketball?

Maybe he should have stayed at Leuzinger High instead of going to a basketball factory?

Funny you have all this to say when your beloved Gaels best player was also ineligible out of HS and bounced around before landing on North Ave.

Mr.B, your being a little rough here. Buy the time some of these kids get to H.S. they're 4 years behind. Then they hit their third H.S. and some adult has the nerve to bring up the fact that about a years work has been completed. The state of Mizzou. has had to decertify an entire school district because the job was not getting done. For thousands of young people in this country graduating H.S. is very difficult. You might be right about kids taking the easy way out, but it's not always that simple.

What does a moderator have to do with anything I posted? Fact is St Johns has 8 players because of questionable recruits by the staff and you guys are looking the other way or sticking your heads in the sand. Im not going to kiss a kids ass because he's 6'7 and can throw a ball in a basket. Thats part of the problem
