If it’s # of courses in his last semester then what would fix it so he’s get eligibility (taking a full load for one semester then get granted a waiver)?
Should be official once classes are over for this semester & grades in.

Is he really needed or is it just a bonus? Bonus.

I know Playtek is not allowed to practice but does anyone know if he is in the gym watching practice and learning the system? I assume it’s the number of classes issue from last year and he needs 1 full semester to reestablish eligibility. When does this semester end? I think he will make a bigger impact then most think. Maybe not from a points standpoint but his defense, rebounding and intangibles could make a huge impact.

I’m assuming if the ncaa “allows it” I’m sure he is being allowed to. Otherwise probably not. The article the other day did say he’s working out with Steve Dagostino at his gym. I too agree that the team will be better with him, especially once he gets up to speed with knowing the plays and players.

He’s not on an island. He’s been spending more and more time with the guys. I think he’ll be ready once he’s allowed to get in the games.

Singelais just tweeted Carm said an NCAA decision on Platek should be in by the end of the week.

Agreed. Much more than a bonus. Hopefully he get's approved by NCAA this week and can get to work with the team.

Good thing is he has been involved in practice, weights, and such for the better part of a month. So it’s not like if he gets cleared tomorrow, he’s meeting the team for the first time and lacing up his shoes for the first time in nine months. He’ll be ready whenever he’s cleared.

I’m expecting the NCAA to decide he needs his first semester grades in before he can qualify.

This isn’t recent news, he’s been practicing with them for weeks.

When Platek can play and everyone is healthy, I see us at 2 deep in every position: 1: McCollum, Carpenter 2: Platek, Hopkins 3: Rogers, Billups 4: Gaines, Johnson 5: Stormo, Baer
Honestly, that doesn’t look bad to me. Kellier can try to steal some minutes from Johnson and Baer.

It'll be nice to get Andrew eligible, but if people think he's solving our issues, they'll be disappointed. He's not a stud inside rebounder/shotblocker, but he should be a shotmaker, and a smart, veteran player that should help us space the floor. Playing across from Rogers should help our drivers.
He needs to start at forward, in place of Baer, along with Gaines. Baer should only be a sub for Stormo. They shouldnt play together.....ever.
Im handing the ball to McCollum and letting him sink or swim. Obviously Stormo and Rogers the other 2 starters.
The 2nd 5 is: Carpenter Hopkins, Billups, Johnson and Baer.
Kellier can earn some time IF he's convinced that we need him to be a REBOUNDER, first and foremost. That to me is his ticket.
***And defensively, can we PLEASE TAKE CHARGES!! If we want to play small, we should be quick to spots and take charges. Foul trouble is no issue because we have no stars. (Stormo is our MVP because we have no one else like him). Take a few charges and teams slow down with how hard they go to the hole.
