I think he has a great shot at getting one and although I see your point, he really wants to play and JJ really wants him now.
Also it complicates things if he has to sit out and then join the same class as Palmore, Bacote, Clark?

Looking down the line, it just scares me to have Freeman, Batten, and Ross all depart at once.

RE: MBB, so whom do we definitely have on the roster?
well, palmore starting as a Sr should be okay. I liked what I saw from him last year as a freshman in train wreck of a season.

They can play together. Both had several games last season where they approached triple doubles.

Seriously if you were Anton would you come back even if asked? Don't you think the kid has any pride at all?
Of course he would. If his choice is between playing basketball in the NCAA (while getting a free education) or playing at the local Y, he will come back. That is the way athletes process. If you doubt it, look at how many players (and recently, coaches) leave a team while publicly cussing the life out of the organization, only to return later.
Anton would run back like the prodigal son if he were asked. But he won't be asked.

You're talking about athletes. I'm talking about Anton.

As long as we are looking at a decent 2014 recruiting class and some progress from our incumbent personnel (Batten, Ross, Bacote, Palmore, EK)? I wasn't a fan of the hire, but he has to play the cards he was dealt. I expect to see progress, effort and improvement, but I will give him a pass on the w/l this year if I think we are playing a bad hand as well as we can..
Quality post. And just as relevant it aligns exactly with the expectations that Coach Jones has announced for himself.
From the 5/19/13 Ed Miller, V-P article:
Jones knows he'll have to prove himself again.
"I understand that winning is a process," he said.
Fans are entitled to have expectations, even unrealistic ones.

Wasn't he let out of his NLI because he couldn't qualify with the NCAA?

Yes. WKU cited issues with transcripts and he encountered similar issues here. Getting around those issues, especially in a quick turnaround, looks highly unlikely.

Mosely is still struggling with academic issues from what I understand, but is enrolled in summer classes and if all goes well, should be available. I heard he has a bit of rust, from not even being able to practice with the team last year, but that he is quick and shoots well.

RE: MBB, so whom do we definitely have on the roster?
Can he play the point? That's my concern. I've talked to him and he's a nice kid but no way he's even 6 feet tall from what I remember and that would make for one short shooting guard.

He's at least 6ft...but he won't (or shouldn't) play the point

RE: MBB, so whom do we definitely have on the roster?
Yea, Mosley's pretty quick and his "specialty" last summer at the pro-am was launching 3 pointers from well beyond the 3 point arc. I'd say at about 40%.

Any rumors that the NCAA ruled on Donte's final appeal?

Last night, Jeff Jones said they expect to hear on Donte's final appeal in about a week to 10 days. He said there was a chance of a favorable ruling, but did not sound very optimistic. Such a shame that he will probably lose his Senior season to a technicality.
