Such bullshit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a temporary restraining order could possibly get him on the floor for the rest of the season until the matter is determined on its merits. I know that Yost also had some role in the Bandaogo matter. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 The NCAA opened the gate to allow transfers. They need to stop picking who can pass through. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy87 Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 I'm hopeful. We really need Ali and his ability to create offense if we want to make a run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than be a wing/SF, Dawson could slide over and play SG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Funny, litigation starts and the NCAA allows him to play. This tells me that they: 1) realize they were wrong or 2) are gutless ****ies who caved to pressure rather than stand on principle. Either is a bad look for the entity that's supposed to be governing intercollegiate sports. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 This is f'ing awesome news! Screw you NCAA. Spineless, cowardly, evil bastards. Side note: in that video, sounds like one of the players quotes the Kent diss track "F Ali Ali". I had completely forgotten how much the adult preschool team hates him. I wonder if that animosity has remained despite Insincere and others graduating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 "Why would he move away from his family for mental health issues?" Because the Groce & Zips family are also his family. Very cool to see. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 I've told this story on here before, but hell, I'm old, I can repeat stories. Back in August, I went to the breakfast/practice and send off for the team to the Puerto Rico tournament. I sat down courtside and at some point Groce and Ali came over to me and I had a very brief conversation with Ali where I said "welcome back" and he responded "it's good to be back." I could tell from the manner and tone in which he said it that he REALLY meant it. I couldn't be happier for the kid now, especially after seeing the emotion in his response in the video. I was a little bitter when he left but given his very obvious affection for the team and program, I am very happy for him and glad to have him back. I'm also happy for Groce as he obviously really likes the kid on more than just a basketball level. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 The NCAA looks like a bunch of morons. They deny Ali the right to play but as soon as the Ohio AG files a lawsuit they grant him the right to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
