so if he gets his release he will be available to play the 2010-2011 season as a RS-Soph.  what if they don't release him?  does he have to sit out 2 years and/or lose a year of eligibility?

Reminds me of uk fan's favorite tap-out:  "Oh, we don't need or want a former top-10 player anyway.  We probably don't even have room for him anyway.  We'll be better of with out him..."

he'll go to a juco for his soph year then transfer to a d1 school.  presumably he'd play for the juco his soph year, and thus have 2 years of d1 eligibility left.

Any chance he would use his RS at whichever juco he ends up at?

he'd either have to be paying his own way or it'd have to be a juco that owes a serious favor to ksu or the tropics.

Don't really think it would serve a new coach and his program well to deny the transfer.

I don't care if he can't jump. Ed Nealy couldn't jump but he was a ferocious rebounder, could hit shots, and was a pretty good defender. Give me a 6-9 guy like Ed Nealy and I'll be happy. :)

Dude, Ed Nealy would get straight dominated in today's game.  Plus, he was only 6'7".  Not much room for slow 6'7" white guys now-a-days.

You can get by with being slow if you're 7 foot.  Not true if you're 6'7".

Love- 6'10".

The Harrargody comparison is a good one, but I really can't see comparing Blair or James to Neely.  Totally different ball players.  Also, I wouldn't call either one of those guys slow.  Pretty damn impressive athletes IMO.

moses, not james (where the &@#% do you get james?).


moses jumps well, but is slow.  blair is a great player, very average athlete (love is considerably more athletic, btw).

I originally assumed you meant Moses, but I checked his stats and he's only like 6'2".   So I just figured you meant James.  He is the other guy in the pic, right?

no, that's pittman.

moses is listed at 6'6", which is probably pretty close to reality.
