Dedric Lawson Ineligible? (false info)
http://www.ncaa.org/remaining-eligible-p...-inquiries

It would seem to me from reading the NCAA rule regarding the NBA draft that DL has lost his eligibility to play college BB. Am I missing something?

I agree that apparently there is a different understanding of the NCAA rule. But having now read the only information I could find from the NCAA, it seemed DL was ineligible. Do you know the current rule & where it can be found?

Why don't you just exercise your judgement & take a hike somewhere else if you have no contribution.

I found this proposal but I've had a hard time finding any subsequent legislation making it a rule. Beginning in para 3...

I'm certainly not suggesting this inquiry should intervene in an AD doing his job - or to tell him how to do his job - although there is a lot of that around here and it doesn't stop with the AD job. I'm simply attempting to understand the rules as they currently exist & would prefer to read & understand the rule rather than get someone's opinion. Generally that's more to the point of a forum's purpose, I would think, rather than making judgements. This is simply an inquiry into finding & understanding the rules that govern eligibility in the circumstance that our university now finds its itself related to DL. We've seen as recently as this week that G. Parrish (a paid "expert") didn't know the very rule he was writing about concerning KL as an assistant. So it seemed better to me, to just read the rules governing eligibility in the DL circumstance in order to understand it rather than rely upon someone's opinion. With all the experts here, I assumed I'd get a NCAA rule reference quickly.

Yep Lawson is ineligible as is Kentucky's entire roster.... you can test the waters now and come back as long as you don't sign an agent

Not saying I'm right or wrong, but I've always thought, as long as DL doesn't hire an agent, he has a certain time to (sometime in May) declare what his intentions are. At least that's what I've always heard.

Have heard that too, just trying to find the NCAA rule or even the NCAA announcement of the rule change that supports what seems to be the obvious answer.

The governing body announced on Wednesday that the NCAA has pushed back the date with which student-athletes must remove their name from the NBA Draft to 10 days after the final day of the NBA Combine, as well as announced that student-athletes may enter the draft multiple times without penalty.

Thanks, appreciate the effort. Just what I was looking for, since it doesn't appear the NCAA is keeping their announcement page up to date.
