I think it's worth remembering that about a week ago '79 posted that he heard from a source Orlando would sign overseas if he wasn't cleared within a week or so.

Except for the KA thing, 79 usually has good info.   Although I think he said this source wasn't 100% reliable.  Still, that doesn't mean it's not true.

I would imagine that Jan 23 will be D-Day for Orlando, can't see him starting up classes if he can't play.

from his facebook.  pretty much says he's seeking new opportunities:

En el poco tiempo que llevo de vida eh aprendido que las oportunidades hay que aprovecharlas y no dejarlas ir, lo malo es cuando la coges y por razones de la vida gente sin conocerte te la quieren quitar y no dejarte desarollar el talento que Dios te da. Lo bueno es seguir luchando sin parar y tratar de buscar un nuevo camino en el cual puedas triufar y hacer lo que en realidad quieres. Dios gracias por todo lo que me as dado pero ya es hora de hacer otro camino para realizar mi sueno.

In the short time that I've been alive, I've learned that you need to take advantage of opportunities and not let them go.  The bad thing is that when you take those opportunities and for reasons of life, people that don't even know you want to take them away and not let you evolve a talent God has given you.  The good thing is to keep fighting non-stop and try to find a new path in which you can succeed and do what you want. God, thank you for everything you've given me, but it's time to find a new path to realize my dreams.

If he can't play he should try and follow his dreams somewhere else. Sucks for St. John's and him but he has to do what he has to do.

So the second semester started today, did Sanchez start class..?

Looks like someone fed Lenn Robbins a line of BS and that Zagoria had this good sources on this one...

Norm had him convinced he was a good coach and I convinced him I was Walter Berry at that BEB gathering.

He was practicing yesterday.  He can still attend classes.  Won't affect anything really.

Says it all! This relates to internal investigative mistakes in Miami investigation.

“@JayBilas: NCAA expects to wrap of its investigation of itself in 7 to 10 days. Funny how fast NCAA can work when it really wants to.”

Unbelievable stuff and my boys down there have had to endure this nonsense for 2 years.

Miami self imposed scholarship bans and prohibited itself from Bowls the last two seasons in anticipation of NCAA penalties.

From what I am told the NCAA is prepared at this point in light of this new development to accept what Miami has done and close the book.

He hasn't been traveling with the team. Wish I knew more.

He can't travel with the team as long as he has not been cleared.  That is just a general rule.

These foreign kids are tough sometimes especially at his age.  If it is not their transcripts it is that they may have played some pro ball overseas that may compromise their amateur status.

What's even more amazing is that our mainstream beat writers don't take the time or effort to do the same.  And if they do it's equally sad that it goes unreported.
