NCAA to suspend Texas guard Myck Kabongo for season

[NoPropsneeded]

so much for drafting kabongo in the 2nd round

[stretch]

I almost missed this. Myck Kabongo had a career game on Wednesday. One of the announcers called it "one of the greatest performances in Longhorn history." Durant and Aldridge played at Texas. U of Texas came back from 20 down in the second half to win in overtime against Oklahoma. Myck was clutch, 31 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists.

Kabongo plays his first game of the season Wednesday at home against Iowa State.

if he quit school could he sign somewhere?

I don't see why not. As soon as he signs with an agent, he's eligible to sign within the league as he's completed the required one year post-high school.

I guess it would just look really bad if he drops out of school because he kicked off the team. Sort of shows where Education lies in the priority scale, right? Haha

No. Before a player is eligible to be signed as a free agent, he has to enter the NBA draft and go undrafted (or get drafted and have the team who drafted him renounce his rights).

Kabongo's suspension reduced!

Myck had his suspension reduced to 23 games on appeal to the NCAA. He gets to play again on on Feb. 13 against Iowa State with eight games remaining in the conference schedule.

I read something on ESPN recently that once a player is enrolled in a NCAA school he is not eligible to play in the D league that season. I can't think of a single player that jumped from the NCAA to the D league in mid season.

Jonathan Givony of Draft Express told SNY.tv: “Depends what he decides to do between now and the draft. After his poor freshman season scouts needed to see how much he improves as a sophomore. I don’t think he’s shown enough to be considered a definite first rounder based on upside alone. He’ll have to show more somewhere. Unfortunately I’m not sure the D-League is an option for him because he was already enrolled at Texas.”

Soooo, what happens to the asshole agent?

Yeah Big time agent probably coached him what to provide.

Johnny Manziel was sitting courtside at the Heat/Mavs game. Wonder how he got those?????

He played in the U-19 (?) tournament, which took place after the draft. Same one the Jonas played in and dominated. Could be the one you're thinking of?

I honestly have no idea lol, all I remember is him wearing a red jersey and playing alongside Turkoglu. Or im just seeing things

I guess I'm wrong then, I could've swore I saw him in some Euroleague or FIBA games a couple years ago.

Actually, the year before his draft Kanter spent the entire year just practicing with Kentucky .. and thats it. Pretty sure for two years, all people saw of him was the Nike Hoops Summit games, or whatever they are.
