Kam Craft is off to Georgia Tech.

Sad. I guess the NW transfer is the fallback option. Didn't this also happen to Yacine Toumi a few years back? There were definitely others.

Former Iowa center Ladji Dembele is visiting Butler tomorrow.

I'd like to believe that this young man's intellect is so far below what will be required to keep up academically at GW, but the reality is this player played D1 last year and will play elsewhere in D1 this year.  Like 4 year graduate Omar Williams, this young man would likely have been fine.  

If you don't like Chris Caputo and his staff, this is a good way to get them to polish off their resumes.

The joke of course is that all of the things that everyone should want are things we've seen before.  Do you recall the respective Jarvis and Hobbs bumps?  A successful men's basketball program leads to increased attendance and subsequent revenue.  Appearances in the NCAA tournament leads to greater publicity for the school which leads to increased applications which leads to a higher academic standing because the school can be more selective regarding the acceptance of students.  This leads to a better group of professors on the whole (since they want to teach smarter students) who conduct more meaningful research and publishes more impactful articles that may be successfully attributed to GW.

So, am I really saying that GW does not get all of this because it denied admission to one potentially great basketball player?  Well, yes, that's where it starts.

Stuff happens, I get it, but this is so deflating because it is self-inflicted. Like Rising said, Dembele will play at another school in 6 months with no problem at all, so it's not like this is an unsolvable problem for schools across the country. I don't understand who this more stringent approach to admissions even serves. Who was going to be upset if the admissions office fudged the numbers a bit to make this work? All this does is piss off a dwindling fanbase, and, at least partially, drive a wedge between the university and a coaching staff that has shown enough promise that I'd like them to stick around. If I were CC, I'd be livid.

I'm positive this whole process is much more complicated than I am giving it credit for, but this is still ridiculous and unacceptable. 

If true…. What the hell is going in?  I thought we were done with this type of BS. They sure pride themselves on good “support” hoops messaging.
