Anyone going up to Rucker Park to see him play? Wish I was in the city to check him out. Would love to hear some analysis besides what we heard from posters after watching a grainy video feed of one game. Dave, KOB, Choz, Fordham, Moose, anyone?

Can't today.  Anyone know the exact schedule?  I might be able to get a friend there.

Can you send a camera crew so we can get some footage?

Sounds like a good turn out at Ruckers according to Nurideens twitter.

Did they give him a nickname or anything like they do at Rucker?

nurideen already has the nickname "too easy" but maybe the rucker will give him a new one

Maybe they could give him a good nickname too?

S/O my big bro @TheGame nd @SnoopDogg for showing me love at the Drew League out here in LA.
25 Jun

Does anyone know anything about this league? I found a lot about Kevin Durant and other NBA guys. The experience sounds like it would be great for him if he is playing with or against some of these guys. He also mentioned a few days ago that he was working out with Jalen Rose.

Let's hope Nuri is the goods.  IMO, he is the biggest X-factor this season with regards to whether we really struggle or are a potential tourney team.  The kid is a legit 6'4" and IF he can both run the offense as well as score, I have confidence that the rest of the guys can do their part.  If Nuri has what it takes, IMO we might just be really good down the stretch this coming season.

I'll say it again.  I hope his academics are caught up and in order.

Ya, whats he doing in LA? Pretty far from Queens

How do we have clue that Nuri playing in LA is an example of him avoiding his academics?

We don't.  But its valid question to ask.

All we heard was he needed the summer to catch up so he had 3 yrs of eligibility left.  A few weeks back he was playing in the Sonny Hill League in Philly.  Far cry from Redlands.  Now yes he could be taking classes at a Philly JUCO.  Not unheard of.  But then he's playing at Rucker.  And now he's in the Drew League in LA.  Sure getting around.

could be online courses

I asked this question a few months ago & dont remember response.

If Nuri completes in fall, rather than summer, & graduates JC in Dec 2011

Can he come enroll @ SJU in January & play right away (getting only 2 1/2 years) ?

It is a valid question although I would say how certain are we that Nuri even needed to take summer classes to catch up? So many of these rumors are false like Amir not playing two sports. Until I find out otherwise, I will subscribe to the notion that Nuri playing in all of these tournaments simply indicates that he didn't need to take any summer courses and he will be ready to play for us in the fall.

He sat out an entire year of school.  It was documented in all the writeups after he committed.  The NYT article, Dave's feature as well.  Heck I think STJ write ups alluded to him catching up in school work so he would have 3 years, since most JUCO's only have 2.

A lot of our recruits have question marks.  The level of severity varies.  But this one to me is more pressing than Amir as an example.

It is my understanding that most of his courses all year have been online.   This could explain why he is all over the map this summer.

Moose-From what I understand he does need to finish up some work but keep in mind I don't think it has much to do with the fact that he is trying to complete 2 years of JUCO in 1.

The reason why kids usually need 2 years of JUCO is that it is mandatory IF you were not qualified out of high school/prep school.  Since most kids go to JUCO for that reason that is why it almost always leads to 2 years at JUCO.

As far as I remember Lindsey got cleared through the NCAA Eligibility Center back when he was supposed to headed to LaSalle.  Then his life took a different turn and then he ended up at JUCO.

So he was already qualified out of high school if I remember correctly.
