Keith Thomas Impact

Is he going to start or be a 6/7 man?

Um, what?

Adam Zagoria
‏@AdamZagoria That WCC transcript story could have implications for Keith Thomas at St. John's & Gio McLean at Quinnipiac.

Let's hope not

Thomas was not at WCC in 2012 when this occured.  Hopefully it was a one year thing and only for these 2 players. 

SJU Compliance is doing their due diligence on this but just to make sure there is nothing to it not because they honestly think there is any implication with Thomas.

Yea, think well be fine.

That's actually pretty terrifying. Could this really happen again with our compliance team?

That’s not what I meant.  Remember the NCAA Eligibility Center cleared him and as you know they do exhaustive research.  So if something is wrong they screwed up as well.

I don’t believe anything is wrong all I meant was that SJU is going back just to make sure there is nothing wrong.  As they should.

Also they are recruiting Montero and they want to make sure everything is 100% clean with that as well.

Told Thomas is fine & agree with your comments about SJU due diligence.

As some have noted;

@AdamZagoria: St. John's believes Keith Thomas's transcript is OK but I'm told they are looking into it.

This is getting quite dicey when they deny a player even played for them and there is much direct evidence to the contrary.

My money is on Cimmino. What a circus!

His recent Instagram post would lead one to believe something may be going on. Not sure how to repost but he says something to the effect of "sorry to the people I've let down". Hoping for the best but it does not seem good at all

Wondering if they could get closer to the season to have this issue.  What a joke...

@RogRubin: Eligibility situation for St. John's Keith Thomas has grown murky and may prove an issue. NYDN:  http://t.co/coAgO3bEsI

@NYPost_Brazille: Regarding Keith Thomas and Westchester CC issue, he has yet to be implicated in transcript mess. #sjubb

Hopefully this plays out well, always something.

@NYPost_Brazille: Westchester CC spokesperson on transcript tampering: "We believe it was an Isolated incident" #sjubb said investigation ongoing.

If he isn't eligible to play this season, would St.John's consider firing their compliance team?

How would SJU compliance even know about this? I believe the NCAA clearinghouse cleared Thomas to play.
