UNCW Basketball: Another offseason trainwreck

[Beenjammin More]

Nobody is talking about the real problem (here & at many other schools).

That is the decision to take in academically poor students who have little chance of graduating.
This is what has led to the 2012-12 post-season ban at UNCW (and Towson, too, in basketball
and ODU in football if stories circulating turn out to be correct).

Elaborate please.

Elaborate please.

I'd assume APR related just because the Tribe fans love to fixate on that. No idea what the status of that is.

EDIT: Blog post by Radford from late February. Says things should be better this year. http://hamptonroads.com/2012/02/odus...improve-spring

yeah, he's full of ****e on that one. We are nowhere near any situation where we are "bringing in students with little chance of graduating"

You wish Tribe fan. Someone sounds a bit bitter that the 1st year CAA squad beat them at their house.

Meh, it's Big Green. Take it with a grain of salt.

But, in KK Simmons and Adam Smith's cases, they'll have 3 years of eligibility with which to win something. Here they'll each only have two.

If UNCW does not appeal (or have a successful appeal) and is banned from postseason play the players that transfer out will not have to sit out a year and can play right away.

I see.

Incorrect. Only a Senior can transfer and play right away with a post season ban in place.

I doubt it's over. Someone's going to get in Rendelman's ear before all is said and done. I bet they are already bugging his AAU and high school coaches to get him the message. He can wait longer and some teams will have a late openings and want his services. Those 1 year play immediately guys don't settle until mid summer.


#1. Better hope anyone leaving has a 2.6 GPA or you'll be going to be more problems with the APR in the future.

#2. Good luck trying to recruit anyone this year to replace them.

#3 what happens next year when Buzz's seat gets hotter. Does he targets risky players like Moss did to try to save his career? More potential APR issues.

It's going to be hard to dig out of this mess.

And now rumor has it that Buzz Peterson may be joining Larry Brown at SMU as an assistant. Not altogether surprising. App St. fans know what Buzz is REALLY like.

This may be the best thing to happen to y'all, seriously.

Stop the presses! ODU lets in students with questionable academic backgrounds!!!! Holy Crap, Batman!

Seriously, I feel for UNCW. Buzz seems like he could turn the program around and return it to its glory days of the the first decade of this century. Good luck to UNCW. I really appreciate your fans; you're a class act.

apparently so does w&m based on the super intelligent posts of yourself and big tribe. Nothing like embarassing yourself and your school on a public message board.
