NCAA Denies Williams

[Daseal]

Hey, he was TOLD before he left USC if it gets overruled and he has hired an agent he is not elegable for NCAA play. He knew the risks when he declared. I don't see a cry of sympathy for Marice Clarrett who actually did all the work for Mike to try to come out early. He knew what the result might be and he deserves to sit out just like Clarrett.

that's because clarett didn't have the talent or stats to back up him going early and would have been drafted anywhere from the 2nd to the 4th round whereas williams would have been in the top 5 picks in this last years draft. Plus he was also TOLD after the ruling was reversed that if he paid back all of the money made, fired his agent, and took enough classes during the summer with the required GPA, that he'd regain his eligability. I'm willing to bet he gets drafted by san diego next year with either their pick or ny's which ever one is higher.

I thought one of the problems was that he hasn't taken any classes since the ruling was reversed.

he took and passed the required amount of classes with a higher than required gpa during the summer and thought that was what was being asked of him.

yeah the ncaa is screwing over Bloom too. I remember that being a bit of a big story last year and they still won't let him play.
