We will probably find out the truth later, but I understand there may be more personality than principle involved in the fact finding and decision making. Let’s see what happens with the appeal.

True. And the AAU circuit allows seniors to play now, so he could always play summer ball

Only unsigned seniors can play in the summer

He should transfer to Riordan, claim residence in the dorms and will be eligible to play

Makes no sense to deny a kid from playing these people need to get with the times. this is not 1982. A kid gets 4 years to play, who cares if they transfers. If a kid feels that he has a better opportunity somewhere else let him go and as a coach you should never try and stop a kid. But thats because at the end of the day it ain't about the kid. These sickens me.
