Actually according to
this thread on Catspause there are other problems which it appears will involve litigation.
Quote:As to Liggins. Damn rules. Go figure. EVERYONE at UK thought they had him nailed, and in. Now the issue doesn't even have to do with what WE thought was an issue. It MAY not look good, but the heavies are all over this one. I can say a hell of a lot of money and effort went into getting this guy in. If it doesn't happen, all hell will be loosed on a few people. As of two days ago, he was clean and green by conjecture, then the friggin blindside hit. I don't understand what I was told, but it isn't pretty. Not done yet, by any measure. Could be litigation. And this is NOT an issue of the NCAA slighting UK, just an issue that could affect anyone. More later as I try to understand.
It sounds a lot like a Jerrel Powe situation.
I don't know if any situation is like the Powe situation as far as it just seems like it goes on forever.
Sounds like a mess. Good thing we didn't get that guy. I would hate to be sitting in Kentucky's shoes right now, especially with all the holes they have in their team & how much they will be counting on Liggins this year.

Yes Liggins opting for Kentucky was a blessing for Memphis. Evans is here and
ready to go!
What an awful situation. I feel bad for Liggins. I thought that he would have been an amazing fit in our system.
I think it's more likely that he does get qualified.....the posters at TCP are a bit excitable.......but anything can happen, you can't predict the NCAA.
Is Garcia qualified yet?

I think he has to take a test around the end of July.
