Will underachieve once again!!..something ain't right up there!!
Yertseven's coach has already gone on record as saying he has played pro ball.
isn't that what happens when you play pro ball? Or am I just stuck on U.S. logic? I know they denied Kanter and I just find it very curious that he committed to moo a team not exactly known as a basketball power.
According to some State faithful, The pro team he played for may have set up a bank account in his name, but the NCAA would have to prove that he accepted/withdrew the money.
Why he picked State over the original list of teams he was hearing from is a head scratcher, but it became clear he probably wasn't going to go to a powerhouse when his list of 3 was the likes of State, Utah and Syracuse
As far as the Kanter comparison, the issue back then was a bit different than it is now. The original amateurism penalty is more focused on the financial based rule:
"If a player receives benefits that are more than the necessary expenses, he can be ruled ineligible"
I'm sure the women at UNC-Rawlee will have that taken care of the moment he steps on campus lol.
Actually not really, if they set up a bank account in his name and funded it he was paid, if you have a pay check direct deposited you are paid, when or if you pull the money out does not matter.
Now the case kalipari was trying to make with kantor was that he was paid for tuition and books, like a scholly paid for by the team he played for. kal was trying to say that was no different that a kid here getting his scholly paid for. The NCAA was not buying what Kal was selling on that one.

The deciding issue will be "did he get paid".

Actually in Europe it is common that members of the same team, some can be paid as professionals while others are just reimbursed for actual expenses and are still considered ameture. It kinda depends on how much they were paid for travel and living expenses, they can not profit from it and it not be considered pay for play.
seems like a slippery slope.Actually not really, if they set up a bank account in his name and funded it he was paid, if you have a pay check direct deposited you are paid, when or if you pull the money out does not matter.

Like said, those are State fans' words. Not mine. Not sure if it's even the case, but just reporting what I heard from the horse's mouth (or perhaps in this case the horse's ass.)
Either way, the NCAA was going to be a tough nut to crack in his case anyway. Considering how the dumpster fire has been going for them over at State, it's no surprise they'd take a chance on him.
