Cynic.

I like Butts. Just if both him and Eubanks didn't make it? Maybe a different school? New England prep league..

To be fair, Eubanks' problems came well before Elev8. You might remember he was originally a '14 commit at Baylor but was ruled ineligible, which led to his family suing his previous school (American Heritage).

Only kidding, Postgame! Your question is too logical and I'm glad you asked it, because if I had, well, you know, I'd be acting negatively…..
Thanks for taking care of business!

"Decommitted" is one way to say it. Best of luck, Leroy.

Kind of like a "You can't fire me - I quit!" situation.

Yeah, there's no other way to report that. The LOI has expired, so the school can't really comment. I wish him well. He congratulated Dowtin on his commitment, which was a nice gesture. There's always the chance of upsetting the wrong people when you let a player go like this, but I see no cause for concern in this case. His ineligibility sparked it, plus he was given plenty of time to pursue other options. The program has also established other area connections.

Looks like Rick is preparing some butt for Butts.

I just wish they'd refer to him as a URI non-qualifier instead of a de-commit. Do wish him the best, although did not believe he is that kind of player.

I was shocked at the interested schools, and actually more encouraged by what that means about the talent we have since we seemed pretty ok with the situation.

So, is he reclassifying himself as 16' and will those academic issues go away? Was it a URI issue or a NCAA issue?

Could be a fall back option? Good connection to Cox obviously and did average 14 points a game last year and had a couple big games, including one against Duquesne. Not my first option but may fill the front court reserve spot if the transfer rule does not pass.

He averaged 14 minutes played a game, not 14 points a game. This is not a guy we want.
