Congratulations.
You are a college graduate. An accomplishment greater than anything you do on a basketball court.

And something you'll carry with you a lot longer.

Well done, gentlemen. We're proud of you, as you should be of yourselves and your accomplishment.

I give a lot of credit to guys like Foz who come from overseas to attend college and play ball. It can't be easy. Originally from Bosnia, home in England, and college in New York City, Iowa, and Alabama. These travels and experiences will be a great asset after basketball.

Faz had a top 6 GPA in Economics. One smart person.

We should get bonus APR points for that.

Well said MB! Fantastic news for all these guys!

Congrats to hooverblazer too

All the more impressive.

In terms of eligibility, we had three juniors graduate. Scotland Williams was are only undergraduate senior on scholarship. I wonder how much he needs to graduate and if he is going to be an APR hit.

Graduated last year...

""Scotty" has seen sporadic minutes in his two-year career at UAB, but the senior graduated last December with a degree in sports management and business."

The bigger question revolves around Jakore Tyler...

Can't remember at what point in time he left.

If it was before the new semester, then wouldn't we be fine as long as he was in good standing after the 1st semester?

Tyler left in December.

The turnaround in the overall academic status of the basketball program is remarkable. Who woulda thunk just a few years ago that we'd be lauding the scholarly achievements of our basketball players. Kudos to everyone who made it happen.

Who would have think we would have two straight losing seasons. Connection?
