Question for you. Will put it in my story today, but Mike said Antonio Dorn
is ineligible for the season opener vs. Charleston Southern due to NCAA rules. Here was the full quote he gave:
"This was a lot more common back a couple of years ago. He played professional basketball, as Neo [Avdalas] did, and it goes through the clearinghouse, and we had everything documented and everything was fine. This was simply because of an extra game or something that he played, it was nothing more than that. I think he's considered a sophomore. He will miss a game and then he's gold. That's been ruled upon, he's through the clearinghouse, he's set, he's ready, and doing great."
He added that Dorn has three years of eligibility (instead of the usual four, which was previously reported.)
It seems uncommon that an international player has to sit out a game in this era for a reason. Haven't seen many cases of it. Was just curious if you've encountered a situation like that. I figure it would've been more common a handful of years ago when international guys were getting paid and then come over here and can't get paid, but this seems more like a "he played too recently" type of thing. I guess it's a question for compliance at the end of the day.

Not a great shooting lineup. But rebounding, defending and toughness. **
