A little more information would have been nice...I almost had a heartattack!

But that sucks for Jordan...now its time for him to get ready for the 40 acres!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go remove my heart from the pit of my stomach.

"fifth year"??? Did he play for the varisty during while in eighth grade? Can someone explain?

He repeated 9th grade and has played 4 years. If academics are in order, sufficient sat score and he graduates in spring, then he will enter Texas in the summer.

What the hell is up with misleading thread titles? Is that some lame attempt to be cute or is it too much to add "ruled ineligible for a 5th high school season"?

Does anyone know the likelihood of him enrolling in next year, or is he going to go the prep school route?

IIRC, he has yet to take the SAT. What I have heard is that they expect him to qualify, but he still has to go down that road.

 

[Nordberg]

Yeah upon further review, why don't you go ahead and edit that thread title. Not funny.

 

[elguapo]

This thread title does not sit well with me at all.

 

[Texanne]

Point being, the thread title was misleading.

A little excitement isn't so bad. Besides, most of our hearts are stronger now and should be able to deal with it.

Lame *** thread titles like this are akin to asking your professor a question to which you already know the answer just so you can show how smart you think you are.

 

[Ramathorn]

Title was used to grab attention, that's it.

 

[ballrific]

title blew ***

 

[vtaenz]

Point being, he is still good to come here.

Just to clarify, Jordan Hamilton did not play high basketball as a freshman. His dad kept him off the team to concentrate on academics, then had him repeat 9th grade.

So while he's been in high school for 4 years, he's only played high school basketball for 3 years. Also, he's only going to turn 18 this year, so he started high school early as well.

Like BiH said, he still needs to take his SAT.

Speculation exists that says the reason it took so long for Hamilton to commit to Texas was the family waited on getting a ruling back from California regarding his eligibility status. I'm unclear on what one would necessarily have to do with the other, but apparently they were hoping to have this all cleared up before making an announcement, although it didn't work out that way.

Oh, and I vote for bad title as well, even though I knew what the post was referring to before I opened it up.

Anybody find it ironic that the kid from Compton can't get a hardship?

 

[scallahorn]
