St. John's Front Court / N.Y. Daily News

Seriously, there has got to be a better way for the NCAA and its member schools to handle eligibility issues. These guys were out there, were recruited by a number of schools, committed and now we still don't know what their status is?

I know I am missing something since I am no expert nor do I care to be one. However, isn't their a quicker, fairer more efficient way to determine someone's eligibility/classification prior to any commitments? If they determine at this late date that someone is not eligible or whatever how is that fair to the kid who could have better spent his time weighing his options? If this is about the schools why don't they have a better process? This is just not St. John's but it appears to be a member institution wide problem. If the schools (supposed institutions of higher learning) cannot apply the standards then the question is are the rules and standards too difficult for them to apply or understand? If so, serious changes need to be made to ensure a fairer, more transparent due process.

all true but what i dont get is if its purely reclassification why not let the kids play while they decide if its jr or sr for ssnchez or soph jr for marco. I dont get the logic there
 
It just seems the NCAA is constently looking into or evaluating something about our recruits......Is it us, or do they act that way with all member schools? One would think these kinds of issues would have been put to rest long ago.

There has got to be a better way for the NCAA to handle a lot of things. If the only poblem w OS and MB is classifacation it is disgracefull that this wasnt settled before the first scimmage.

Unfortanetly what you say is true and Im beginning to think there is more to the story.
 
If one of the guys played pro ball, or used up his eligibility there would be more to it then being classified as junior or senior.
 
I don't know how you can be "cleared" and not know your classification. It's not a two step process. Once you're cleared, you play.

It is my assumption that the NCAA has not yet cleared Marco and Orlando; what coach is saying is that the holdup is not because of grades or other things that would cause them to be "ineligible" as we understand that term. Rather, the holdup is because there are questions as to how many years Orlando has used up, and questions about reinstatement for Marco.

But it's my understanding that cleared is cleared. I played a non-major sport in college, and that's how it was when we went through the clearinghouse process.
