In other words, standard NCAA operating procedure.
"Just because we can't prove it doesn't mean it didn't happen" boom
Well played sir!
Safe to say Riley’s been doing pretty well in practice then?
But man are they experienced and have played forever together though! (Evidently this is true even when you lose 3/5 of your starting lineup somehow).
Guess the people that think with two projected 1st round picks we might not get "beaten like a rented mule" are just sheep beholden to whatever insiders tell us though!
I like these 3 first off the bench. They all have that dawg in em.

That starting 5 looks absolutely wild to me: a junior transfer with a chip on his shoulder, a fifth year guy, and three talented freshman. Worst case scenario? They look lost out there and can't figure out how to play together. Best case scenario? They demonstrate immediate chemistry and significantly raise the floor for expectations going into this season. Can't wait to see what happens.

50/50 he should be cleared ... or 50/50 at worst by the end of November?
Slim to none … My guess (and this is purely guess and what I hear from staff) is that we are going to go through the same situation that happened with Big Z … Think this could be a situation that leaks into the new year … I’ve heard it could be done before then but we literally just have no idea at this point … So I’m preparing for the worst …
And it’s 10000000000% on the NCAA …
From the conversations I have had my expectation is the end of November
Should be fun to watch. Guys will have to be at the top of their games with the bench/depth we have.

With or without shoes?
Isn't Ben supposed to be 6ft 9 ??? Riley looks like he is taller than Ben
My first thought too

Yup and he's a legit 6'9". Everyone was comparing him with Domask and it was like no, this is a true big who's just shooting up and over wing defenders.
Morez is an absolute unit of a freshman!
