So this shines a little light.

Actually, Bibb County and Georgia in general- including Atlanta- have a horrible academic situation. It's really a joke.

Check Stain's Fr year @ Western Mi b/c he was quite good though overweight. Dropped 25+ on Dayton. Fundamentally always very sound with court presence. When he came to XU during his transfer year he showed all what talent and understanding he had but again his weight issues made it impossible to compete at BE level; still no one could deny his passing skills for a big, his shooting touch & footwork etc. He showed all of that at Western & in his transfer yr.

He also had a good game as a WMU player against Xavier that same season.

The same things were said about The Stain Train.

Not really; no one doubted Stain's basketball IQ nor fundamental skills. Those extra lbs he carried and lack of footspeed were detriments but slow learner--never.

Stainbrook was a bright guy with weight issues. Best passing big EVER ar X. Good academic background. Reynolds couldn't think ahead more than a nanosecond, despite prep school and red shirting.

Walter has size and the academics. That's an upside worth taking a chance on. IMHO I'd rather we pass on overweight/ academic risk student athletes.

There's a huge difference between academic issues and intelligence. For example, look at what happened with the eligibility of one of IU's top freshmen on their football team yesterday. Often times adults are the cause behind the academic issues whether it's bad advice or they actually don't know what they're doing in spite of their position.

Did you know he was an Uber driver?

Yeah Stainbrook showed plenty on the court in his time at Western Michigan. His problem was that he struggled with weight/conditioning. And, surprisingly given his time at XU, with respecting authority.

Did I miss something, I think K.Jones is no longer on our roster.

I think you are right. The roster page has been nicely updated and reformatted, and Big K is nowhere to be seen.

Was he ever officially on the roster? As was noted above, he had to get a certain grade in a certain class this summer before he was eligible.

The fact that Walter committed would seem to indicate that Jones didn't get, or the staff doesn't expect him to get, his needed grade.
