Could it be a "definitely 2nd semester, but still working for 1st semester" situation?

If he isn't eligible until second semester, does it benefit the team to have him play in Italy? Obviously, you want to give the kid the opportunity to participate, but if these games are about getting the team up to speed more quickly, shouldn't we go with the lineups that will be on the court in November? I guess it depends on whether JTIII sees the trip more as one about giving the kids a chance to travel and play in Europe, or one to get some real basketball in before practice starts.

Where'd you hear that? I heard that he could be eligible first semester. Standig asked JTIII yesterday Well jeez, Dan, you included all the other tweets but not that one?

Will he be practicing with the team first semester? If so, then playing in Italy won't negatively impact the team anymore than practicing first semester.

We don't have all of this year's schedule, but if Agau had been on the team last year, he would have missed just 10 of our 33 games. Five of those 10 are arguably less important because of their creampuff nature. In other words, he's likely to play in 70% of our games and over 80% of the games that count. I'd rather have him in the rotation.

So here's something I've been wondering for a while. My apologies if this has already been covered. Isn't the rule that official practices cannot take place before some date in mid-October (hence the idea behind MM)? So how is playing games on another continent allowed when that absolutely creates a clear advantage for those teams that do it? What's the loophole that allows this to take place? Or am I mistaken about the whole MM thing?

Or am I mistaken about the whole MM thing? 30.7 FOREIGN TOURS AND COMPETITIONA member institution may participate in a foreign tour in any sport, provided the conditions specified below are met. 30.7.1 Certification of Tour. The institution must certify in writing that the conditions set forth in this section are met and must maintain the certification on file in the athletics department. 30.7.4 Time Lapse Between Tours. An institution shall not engage in a foreign tour in each sport more than once every four years. 30.7.6 Opponents. The team shall not compete during the tour against other American teams (colleges or the U.S. teams) other than teams composed of U.S. armed forces personnel stationed at U.S. military bases in foreign countries. 30.7.8 Timing of Tour. The tour shall be scheduled during the summer vacation period between the institution’s spring and fall terms or during any other vacation period published in the institution’s official catalog. All travel to and from the foreign country must take place during such a vacation period. Further, an institution may not engage in a foreign tour during the period beginning 30-days prior to the first permissible practice date until the first scheduled contest or date of competition in the championship segment of the institution’s playing and practice season in the applicable sport. However, if the team crosses the international date line during the tour, the change of date will be disregarded and the equivalent time as measured in the United States will be used to determine the institution’s vacation period.

Alright thanks for clearing that up for me. Was the China trip really 4 years ago already? Man time flies...

Or am I mistaken about the whole MM thing? How about this one: Similarly to Calipari with the D.R., Pitino has a second job as the coach of Puerto Rico's national team. He's also the head of the national team programs. Think Jurgen K. for US soccer. As such, he took the senior and the u-20 national teams to Louisville in July for their first get-together before the Olympic qualifiers coming up shortly. Guess against who did the PR teams play practice games while our boys were playing Kenner L. It doesn't end there. Then, in August, he took UofL to Puerto Rico to play the national team. They are still in Puerto Rico. Louisville will be in mid-season form by November. Is Duke at the USA camp hosted by Coach K.? Maybe we'll get a better idea of the how and why re: Pitino here. Can someone help with this? insider.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/insider/story/_/id/13295882/why-rick-pitino-coaching-puerto-rico-national-team

Classes end December 5, and exams begin on December 10. My understanding is that December 10 would be the latest that Agau is eligible, as I recall Smith would have been eligible for the first Kansas game at a similar time a few years back. As of now, it's only 8 games, though a few more might fill in. It would be nice to have Agau for Syracuse on December 5, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if he has to miss it either.

Paul White plays, and looks, like that 42-year-old dude at the gym.

Is it just me or does White look taller than everyone but Govan and Hayes?
