BREAKING: Emmanuel Malou commits to Iowa State

[cyrocksmypants]

omfg how many times does this have to be hashed out? There's only one dot to connect. If he graduates from Yuba or not.

This. I don't know how people still can't figure this out. It wouldn't matter if he dropped out of high school his freshman year and never graduated. As long as he gets his AA from a community college, he's NCAA eligible. This isn't a Diallo situation. That's why he went to a community college in the first place.

We should start a new Malou thread to keep up with his season and so the those words don't scare people.

The NorCal Sports Tv channel on Youtube has 2 full games of Yuba this season for those interested.

I've heard there's more to it than just the AA

Unless the process has changed from 12 years ago when I went from a community college to ISU, I don't know what it would be, unless you're insinuating improper handling, in which case, that'd be the first I've really heard of that, outside of people talking out of their ***.

Someone on another site who has good access to info said that there may be a Diallo like process beyond just AA = Automatic eligibility. I don't think it's handling related or anything like that. More academic in nature.

I'm not insinuating there is a high risk of him not clearing. It just sounds like there may be more involved than your average juco transfer.

I just don't know what it'd be. An AA wipes out any high school issues. The only possible thing would be if his grades are barely good enough to get an AA and don't meet ISU's academic standards, although I don't even know if that would matter.

Edit: though I suppose you'd have to have a minimum GPA to be eligible to play, I'd think that wouldn't be in effect except for your ISU grades.

But, but, but... MEGATHREADZ!!!

Tinsley was let in after he graduated from CC so assuming Malou graduates from Yuba I have zero concerns regarding academic issues.

Thanks for sharing. After watching those, our coaches will have to do some coaching up. Skilled for a big man as reported tho. Likes to hang out on the perimeter. Would assume he'll need to be more of a factor on defense and rebounding for us. Will be fun to watch and see how much our coaches can develop him.

I think there are some concerns about him being eligible but I'm optimistic.

Me, too. Mods, can you remove the "BREAKING: " from the thread title?

 

[Cydkar]

If JP needs us to start a "Go Fund Me" account for the Malou's plane ticket Im sure cyclone fanatic can raise enough in a few hours - geez

Thank goodness this isn't allowed.

Are there any legitimate concerns, or just general Cyclone paranoia?

As long as he graduates from his CC there are no concerns.

The concerns being if he can graduate from Yuba? Because if he does that then nothing else matters.

Not true, according to other sources.

Not true, according to other sources.

Which no one has linked to or outlined.
