Chris Thomas (Commit Other)

[smileyy]

Don't get too excited about his senior year. Good chance he's one and one after 2013.

We'll see. Lots of highly rated prospects turn out to...well...not have as high of NBA prospects as people thought they did coming out of high school.

Discussing How many years he will be eligible is of no concern...

He had the option of getting his GED from JUCO and going straight to the NBA. He chose Xavier...

He's a one and done player. This is an incredible verbal for Xavier if he gets eligible and stay with the verbal. WOW

Umm... yeah...

If his first year of eligibility is 2013, then do you guys know when his early signing day would be? Would it just be this fall like the rest of the would be seniors in high school?

Must read on him:

Only 3 years of eligibility. Very raw, maybe unstable, I'll take it at 5 in the country. Semaj a fellow 5 star+Dez+Chris Thomas= Final Four

Chipola has some kind of dual enrollment deal thru the state. He could just graduate hs in '13.

I don't think XU would pick up anyone they didn't think they could coach.

A lot of coaches backed off Thomas a while ago for a reason, due to off the court issues.

Here is what I found in regards to GED and NCAA eligibility, seems like you still need all the requirements of a regular HS student. Considering the issues there have been with quite a few guys in our recent past that graduated high school it doesn't seem very promising to get Thomas eligible right away:
The NCAA criteria you are looking for can be found at: http://www.ncaa.org/library/membersh..._d2_manual.pdf. Go to page 110 for Freshman Academic Requirements.

Basically, in order to be considered a "Qualifier" (i.e. eligible to practice, compete, and receive financial aid as a freshman) one must achieve a minimum 2.0 high school GPA in 14 "core courses". You must also achieve a minimum 820 SAT or 68 ACT.

There is some additional info regarding GED specifics on page 113. According to that section there is not a waiver of the core courses or SAT/ACT standards. There is a small waiver in that someone with a GED is eligible for financial aid and can practice with a college team if he/she has achieved a 45 (or 450 depending on the year taken) on the GED exam and satisfies either of the core course or SAT/ACT standards. It also appears that there is also a waiver of the need to sit out freshman year for someone with a GED who has earned at least 24 AP credits.

Is this why Myles was mad?

Is this why Myles was mad?

He was never mad. His teammates pranked him and people on here overreacted.
