Word on the street is that the ncaa is trying to take out Paul Mbiya. Anyone know how likely they are to succeed?
-
@Jayhawk_69 why?
-
The Mbiya thing is all part of the proposed big bill to rule over college sports.
One of the components is no player who has received payment for play as a pro is eligible (basically with some give or take).
It has a loooong way to go to pass, if it does.
So, no current danger i'd guess.
And just to be clear, Paul Mbiya played professionally for money in France.

Kentucky got a big boost tonight with Momcilovic committing to them for next season.
-
Hopefully that just means UK stays just good enough to not pull the trigger on firing Pope for how ever many years Self has left. Would be nice to not have them drive up the price of a coach when he retires

Through 2 games with team USA (against Argentina and Mexico) Kinney is averaging 9 points, 4.5 assists, 1 steal, 0.5 rebounds, and 1.5 turnovers in 17.5 minutes per game. He is 4/5 on two point field goal attempts, 3/6 on three point field goal attempts, and 1/4 on free throw attempts. This gives him a true shooting percentage of around 70% which is very good.

Low sample but loving that 4.5 assist on 18 mpg

This is his game from what I've seen watching him in other events as well. Definitely a pg
-
Stokes and Kinney in the backcourt is sounding better and better. Ah, what might have been with Flory in the frontcourt... If only..
-
@bskeet Yes... would have loved his defense. But we might improve at the 5 on offense!
-
It seems like we are looking at a player that was once at Arkansas

Was hesitant to post that since its not being reported by anyone credible yet.
Basically Malique Ewin is seeking a waiver for a juco yr, same as Council is seeking. If Ewin gains it then it will be interesting to see where he goes. Former Arkansas and FSU so tons of P4 experience and KU was a bit involved last cycle if I remember correctly.

Update. Kinney and Team USA lost to Canada and settled for a silver medal. Kinney's stats after 5 games are as follows: 7.4 ppg, 3.8 apg, 1.0 spg, 0.6 rpg, 2.0 turnovers/game, in 16.6 minutes/game. He shot 7/15 (47%) on 2pt field goal attempts, 5/15 (33%) on 3 pointers, and 8/11 (73%) from the foul line.
