Now that we know Nerlens Noel is enrolled in two summer classes at his old high school, some fans in Big Blue Nation are a little uneasy about his eligibility for next season. Kentucky’s star recruit will be fine, assuming he passes both classes, but Cats fans would much rather have him on campus working out with his teammates right now instead of back at Everett hitting the books.
Don’t worry, though.
Calipari told ESPN’s Andy Katz that he doesn’t anticipate any eligibility issues for Noel.
“He’s not here,” Calipari said. “Since he reclassified he had to do a few more academic things and he’s finishing school.”
There ya go.
He’s finishing school.
Relax.

careful flat top feller, that “lady” next to you has one thing in her eyes, and it ain’t your best interests.

2) By any means

[“He’s not here,” Calipari said. “Since he reclassified he had to do a few more academic things and he’s finishing school.”]
How does that translate into “no eligibility issues”? I mean, why did the whole GPA thing come up if it were simply a matter of earning 2 more course credits?

Pay attention. He reclassified. Graduating EARLY.
July 10th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
just give us the info and we will decide how we want to react.
July 10th, 2012 at 1:25 pm
If he didnt reclass ky would be hurting. Since everyone else backed out
July 10th, 2012 at 1:25 pm
6 the guy who wrote that it is a GPA issue was just a blogger too, who’s to say he was correct? perhaps it’s just that Noel needs 2 more classes completed and has nothing to do with his GPA. that blog you are talking about didn’t mention sources for the info.
July 10th, 2012 at 1:26 pm
7) Graduating early is fine. But the report didn’t say he was taking 2 courses needed to GRADUATE, it said he was taking 2 courses to RAISE HIS GPA TO NCAA STANDARDS. Pay attention.

Can wait for him to suit up but dude has some square features and crazy long fingers . . . and what 2) said!

Kinda hard to relax when Cal was saying similar things about UnderKanter…at least monetary funds are not an issue with flatop.
July 10th, 2012 at 1:27 pm
10) Yeah, i’m not presuming that he will have eligibility issues… just saying its fair to ask the question at this point. If that blog was sourceless, then its a completely different situation.

How do so many decide to “reclassify” at what seems almost as an impulse? What about the player this year at a high school in Houston who returned to South America to take his ACT and/or SAT to qualify to play college ball this coming season and I believe he was play his sophomore year last season. I just do not understand.

14 this is all the blog said. Doesn’t give a lot of info so doesn’t seem like something to put too much stock in

She got the SHOCKER

hahaha typical UK player. How much will calimari pay his spelling and long division teachers? You moronic fans are hilarious. Cards all the way!
July 10th, 2012 at 2:58 pm
@20. Probably about the same amount of seconds that your coach lasted with that zombie.
July 10th, 2012 at 2:59 pm
yeah what 20 said…typical UK player ha ha ha. Our players care so much more about academics than UK players. I mean just look at how they keep transferring to other schools when coach pulls their schollies in desperate attempts to get a player 1/2 as good as UK players. If they didn’t care about education, they’d just drop out instead of transferring. Cards all the way…until they play the Cats, then it’s Cards running all the way home with a loss. L yeah!

I remember Thamel’s article about Nerlens and his principal at his school was saying at the time that Nerlens had a lot of work to do in the summer to get eligible. He never said anything about Nerlens not being a good student, but just that he had certain credits needed to go to college. I am not surprised by this and I expect Nerlens in school in August.
