So your source is that Carr liked your tweet you sent him, asking if the NCAA had denied his waiver?
OK then.......
This is pretty big. With him competing and Murphy and Pre being seniors, that gave them a decent chance to get into the NCAAs. This is a big blow to those hopes.
Is there an appeal process?
Jay Bilas weighs in... Can't say I disagree with him...

Pretty sure they were already in the appeals process. I have no details on approved waivers this year, but the chance of getting a waiver because of a coach firing was a long shot from the start. This hurts the possibilities, but with what they have and a hopefully recovered Curry, an NCAA appearance, while not assured, is certainly possible.
I don't like Jay, but he's not in this fight for Marcus Carr. He's in it because he is functionally opposed to the NCAA in virtually all matters. Hard to bark too much without knowing the details and what the difference was in his case than the seemingly endless other approved waivers.
We were originally expecting him having to sit out and the coach getting fired usually isn't enough for immediate eligibility.
I'm not mad at the ruling in and of itself, just that we had to wait so long, got our hopes and saw several other players get cleared.

You think they won't get into the NCAAs without Carr? You're on something wild. Wow
The fact that you think this team is a lock to get to the tournament is what's wild. We're 1 injury away from Brock Stull or Michael Hurt playing 25 minutes a game.

I think that not only does this team get into the NCAA's but they get in as no worse than a 4 seed. Carr can use this to his advantage and by the end have a masters degree like so many others do at other programs. Disappointed but the roster is loaded .
1. Brock Stull averaged 13 points a game playing over 30 minutes a game the past two years playing against solid D1 competition. When we got him, some people had him pegged starting OVER Dupree. Now, after 1 game, it's like he's viewed on a level with Brady Rudrud or Hunt Conroy. I don't get it.
2. I never said they were a "lock", but the OP said that WITH Carr, we had a "decent chance" just to make the NCAA. That's ludicrous.
If Curry comes back fine, we have our deepest team since the Haskins years. Even if he doesn't, this is a deeper team than we have had in a decade.

I almost replied w a post just like this. This is the deepest team of my lifetime WITHOUT Carr. That does not ensure success. However this team has the most high end ability players since the FF team.
The only reason we absolutely need Carr this year is if we dont think Gabe can start, then we need another guard.
Regardless, this ruling is a complete farce.
