Time to panic, right?

I don't think it's panic time. I think regardless, if he graduates from Yuba, he's clear with the NCAA. All his prep school problems are washed away at that point, I believe.

I would assume the coaches have a pretty good handle on his progress at Yubu. Malou seems grounded enough that he would be working hard toward that to ensure he graduates.

I read a link once, I believe from Alex Halstedt (spelling? sorry if wrong), that TJ has been frequenting Yuba College to make sure Malou's academics are coming along properly.

This says paperwork issue, not academic issue. Wtf is a paperwork issue? Like his passport into Iowa isn't up to date?

TJ has been recentlyh to Malou's practices after his verbal to check on his progress as a player and academics.
Not worried about EM not flying from Cali for a weekend. I am just grateful he has already committed or the Monster Malou thread would be raging right now.
(Still with Malou's Ghost recruitment any change of plans does raise an eyebrow.)

But is Malou even a valid source? I thought Hines only used anonymous sources...for shame.

Why don't we have athletic department personnel helping with paperwork to ensure it all gets completed properly??

Yes, administration is a perfect solution to college kids getting paperwork done on time.

Wasn't there some other visit that got fudged up because of a paperwork issue too?

Xavier Simpson cleared it up in the final days before visiting. I imagine this is purely bureaucratic, NCAA paperwork since it is the official visit and everything is paid for. Just a reminder that this is about his visit, not his eligibility.

(Xavier Simpson) Yes but in this case the visit still happened. (Maybe you are thinking of a different one)

@TravisHines21: Sounds like the paperwork issue regarding Xavier Simpson's Iowa State visit is cleared up and he's expected on campus tomorrow, per source.

EDIT: I am too slow. Somebody answered first.

Sorry, should've added a "/s"
