Play Kabongo now

Play Kanbongo now. What is the worst the NCAA can do. Make us forfeit the games he played in?

we are going to lose them any way without him.

 

[Horns11]

He's supposedly coming back on the 18th, which is the last day of fall semester finals. Why play him against Texas State when we're bound to win anyhow?

 

[TempestHorn]

You do realize this team is the same one that lost to D2 Chaminade? A win over Texas State is far from a given.

 

[Horns11]

Do you think the Chaminade game is the comparable one for Texas State? I'd say it's more like SHSU or UTA. Two teams we handled easily even with poor performances.

Chaminade was a flukey game. It happened. It's not indicative of the rest of the season. Hell, we could go 4-12 in conference at this rate, but the Chaminade game won't be the problem.

Any update on his status?

 

[Horns11]

End of the semester is Tuesday. If he's not playing against UNC this week, that would be extremely telling.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

What a shame.

 

[Statalyzer]

The NCAA has no obligation to make their decision coincide with the semester gap. They didn't do that for Mike Williams. They didn't do it for Jarrett Hicks.

 

[Horns11]

The NCAA admitted no mistake or problem in the Hicks stuff. They "reinstated him after considering his appeal," meaning that he was officially suspended for the first three games of 2006 and came back for the 4th game. This wasn't a case of "oops guess you didn't do anything wrong."

It'll be a similar decision for Kabongo.

 

[bazbo]

So by the time he comes back he will complete 1.5 years of Texas B-Ball before he moves on.

 

[ViperHorn]

19th and not a public word. I don't care what time of year it is, Dodds and a lawyer ought to be camped out in the NCAA office.

 

[bystander]

Yahoo has announced via a tweet that he is suspended for the entire season.
