Yeah, it's a talking point, but that's it. I doubt those guys have any real inkling from inside the CU program, or any real grasp on the rules involved in Fedor's eligiblity situation.

Now, I believe HDMD's statement -- but as one previous poster stated, it seems like a lot of jeopardy for Fedor to accept our offer and come over here if his eligiblity wasn't all but officially confirmed. Maybe we plan to bring a lawsuit if it comes to that. I'm sure the coaches have a lot of confidence and contingencies if needed.

After you check out Dauster and his “we can’t have this” listen to the above podcast

Different spin on Fedor from Tate Frazier. Starts at the 42 minute mark. He criticizes AAU ball here in the States and gives props to how the Euro leagues do a much better job with young players. Gives props to Creighton for getting this done.

Fedor started in the pro league at age 15 and the league developed him into an excellent prospect. Does not always happen over here, unless Al Huss is at the helm

All I’m saying is the word from the athletics side is that he absolutely can be denied, and he came knowing that.

I’m pretty sure he won’t lose much by being a student for a few months if he’s denied.

The check has probably already cleared.

Exactly my point. He’s probably already made more than he would have in a season there.

Not sure if G league is backup option for him or if there is a process for that.

Hopefully we see him at Purdue!

Well shit. Next man up. More opportunity for Neal and LJ if he gets ruled ineligible.

I certainly hope no checks have been issued or cashed yet, unless it was a partial payment made in good faith to get him to come here. I can’t imagine the new world of college BB covers payment if no playing time allowed, should be contingent on actually playing.

I hope Fedor gains eligibility, but Larry Johnson will be our next superstar.
