I would like to read into it that he's eligible and playing. But my gut tells me he's just the next in line as each player gets to be the picture for the gameday announcements. Hoping to see IJ suit up tonight.

Not reading into this at all. If nobody on this site has any clue of his status, I highly doubt the media crew knows anything.

Grades for the fall are not posted until the 20th or 21st?

Doesn't that mean APSU would be his first shot at playing?

**No water slides in Clarksville TN where today it's 41 with 24 mph winds making it feel like 34. Low tonight will be 19 degrees.

One of you buzzards had to be in the building by now. Is he dressed?

If he's not dressed at APSU after grades are out.....

Anyone know if the University has posted grades?

If grades were posted and this guy still can’t dress for games in late December, time to say goodbye and let him make his way to USC-Aiken. Tired of it.

He didn't play tonight but never noticed if he was dressed out or with the team.

He was on the bench but not dressed.

This is getting absurd. We don't need to know the specific issue, but is he on the team or not? Could he be available this year or not?

In the preseason prediction thread I stated that I thought IJ was going to be crucial for our success or lack thereof this season. Not because I expected him to be a world-beater, or even a starter. Just because what he could potentially bring is exactly what this roster lacks.

We can see how that's turned out. Likely the direction our season will end up as well.

Boals posted team GPA is 3.18 on social. So, IJ has to be eligible now in theory?

At this point, I've lost all hope - but do we know if they submit a travel roster ahead of time?

Not a prediction on IJ's status. This is a good luck to AJ on his shoulder surgery Thurs. and for a successful recoverey. He has fought through serious
shoulder injuries the entire time he has been in the Convo. Hopefully he will make it through the NO FUN recoverey process.

Guess we’re all about to find out…

Should be a fun series of games for those heading up to Cleveland.

Would be nice to see IJ at least dressed - if he isn’t - Nichol should have his redshirt pulled. .500 season that needs a turnaround. Not that I expect Nichol to be that big of an impact, but it’s clear we can’t win by playing 7 guards.

IJ not dressed again.

Hadaway has 100% stepped into the role we hoped to see from IJ. I feel better about not having him, but again how long can he hold a scholarship spot if he doesn’t even dress…?

We’re getting abused on the offensive boards by a pretty small team.

I am just glad I lived on Ramen and scrounged quarters to have Strohs at The Pub and IJ can literally do NOTHING for 3 years and travel and have fun. REDICULOUS.

At the risk of starting another back and forth between MDWST and BLSS that will last 2 weeks with a threat of violence and cover 5 pages on BA, I have to wonder if it's possible that Ben Nicol is another swing and miss recruit for Boals? Otherwise, why not try him in the rotation?

Yeah hope I'm wrong but my gut says we'll hope to get a handful of useful minutes from Nichol once his Jr/Sr seasons rolls around.

Guys improve and surprise though.

Tuesday home game against Toledo is January 2nd. If IJ is sitting on the bench in street clothes then why? Grades have been out for 3 weeks and a new semester is starting soon. How much longer can this seriously continue?
