Tai Webster becomes Eligible!

[CrazyforNUHOOPS]

Just for the heck of it, I just looked at the UNL Student Directory.  Lo and behold I found the following:

 

Webster, Tai

(student)

Not sure it means anything...yet, it is nice to see the name in our student directory.

That is definitely his silhouette!!

I'm sorry that I was off by about 24 hours on my 48 hour prediction. I can't believe people are giving me no credit here. I didn't have the facts perfect, but Robin's tweet confirmed i knew what i was talking about.

 

I'm not trying to bring you down here, but the following series of posts are what your "source" has offered you. I think you can see why you aren't getting much credit...

 

First you said, "My source says SAT has nothing to do with it. The clearinghouse has to decide whether or not to allow his credits to transfer."

 

--> Brian just wrote: "He recently met a qualifying score on his SAT - a major step in Webster gaining NCAA clearance." Clearly the SAT mattered. 

 

Then you said on June 25: "I'm hearing that we should know in 48 hours whether Tai is going to be eligible for this season. For sure by Friday."

 

--> It's July 2, and we still know nothing about his eligibility.

 

Then you said: "The clearinghouse has been reviewing Tai's case for a while now and were simply waiting for his SAT score. It won't take long for the clearinghouse to make this decision."

 

--> So the SAT didn't matter at all as opposed to his credits transferring over, but the NCAA was just waiting for his SAT score the whole time? That doesn't make sense...

 

Finally, you said: "I heard the university already found out whether he is eligible or not. I have no idea when they will announce what the decision was. If he is not eligible, they will probably appeal it which could take who knows how long."

 

--> Tim Miles just told Brian Tai is not cleared by the NCAA yet. "It's just a matter of time. These things take time."

 

It's good news that he is coming July 13 to be enrolled in classes. But nothing has changed on the central issue at hand: Tai has not been cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse. They could take right up until the season to do that...they could go well into the season. Nobody knows. Especially your "source". Just a suggestion, you may want to reconsider before using your "source" again. He has been right about basically nothing as far as Tai's eligibility goes. I have zero inside information and have been more correct in saying "The NCAA Clearinghouse has no timeline and drags these things out."

Miles, you missed the worst bit of seemingly false info when TimMiles' source said a couple of weeks ago that Tai wasn't going to make it. 

 

TimSmiles, your source has wronged you multiple times about Webster. He doesn't seem to be very connected to the situation, to be honest.

I have found if you throw enough gooey things at the wall, sooner or later something sticks.
