Kentan Facey cleared!!!!!!!

[champs99and04]

Let's hope he didn't lose any years. That would be tremendous if he got out of this unscathed. Either way, congrats Kentan and we look forward to seeing you out on the court.

No years lost:

Kentan Facey cleared for all years, per source. #uconn

So glad it took the NCAA four years to determine that a kid did nothing wrong. Seems fair.

I think Facey will surprise a lot of people this year, including on this board. I'm a big fan of his game.

Wow, great news. Gives us so much more depth that is desperately needed!

 

[HailUConn]

First! Great news! Let's start the season already!

 

[Dove]

This news is so awesome it deserves a second thread? Okay.

Bob is proud of you Kentan!

EDIT: Second thread was merged...

 

[EricLA]

Woohoo! I like this thread better as it does not end in a question mark for subject. Maybe we can merge the 2 threads?

Great news indeed. I'm REALLY looking forward to this season.

Source says Kentan Facey gets 4 years of eligibility for #UConn.

 

[Joobie]

WOO-HOO! Great news!

 

[tcf15]

Yeah, it was only a question mark because it was first reported by Terrence Samuel. I'd edit it, but only mods can edit titles.

EDIT: The title looks much better now!

Watch out world ..... Huskies are on a roll with all cylinders firing. Line 'em up!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody's on board now.

Countdown to Maryland

 

[nomar]

For once, NCAA, Jamaican me happy.

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

How awesome are we?

 

[prankster]

 

[UCDaveD]

Quick, let's petition the NCAA to give Kemba back another year of eligibility while they're clearing people like crazy.

GREAT GREAT NEWS! Wow all 4 years too... WATCH OUT!!

Finally we catch a break from the NCAA

C'mon, who's dancing?

 

[superjohn]

Great news, this is clearly the right decision but with the way we've been treated by the NCAA I think most of us were nervous. This gives us needed depth in the frontcourt, can't wait for this season to start. Now let's send the NCAA a waiver for Purvis to play this year.

Could this be our old friend Jo? As in Mojo?

The 6-foot-9 Facey's status was in doubt due to his academic background while in his native Jamaica.

Goodman is either intentionally or lazily allowing the average fan unaware of facey's situation to read a scenario where it appears he is academically unqualified. I'm predisposed to hating goodman and oversensitive about APR, but I don't think I'm splitting hairs here. I think its bs.

I am pretty pumped about this season to begin with - this just adds to it. Congrats KF!!! I can't wait for the exhibition game(s) to see these guys play.
