Agreed ... Actual Data ALWAYS beats assumptive models and ptedictions

How can a guy with such insightful takes on Gopher Hoops equate auto fatalities to an infectious disease and then deny global warming? BGA is a paradox.
 

Global warming raises its ugly head in the line up thread...pathetic
 


Back to basketball. With recent NCAA opinion, do we need to start planning the lineup without Peterson? I think we are going to get Robbins eligible.

If no Peterson...

All three will probably happen. Curry is the wild-card for the Big lineups. Hummel fared ok when coming back from back-to-back ACLs at Purdue. Hoping the same for Curry.

I really think Peterson's waiver is more likely to get approved than Robbins. That being said I see both happening.

Because his uncle, that didn't raise him, is a coach here?

About the flimsiest excuse one could muster. Regardless, I hope they both get waivers.

Gotcha. Robbins might be further from his hometown, but he will still be around family more at Minnesota than he would have been at Drake or Iowa. Most of his time will be spent around the team, and having 2 family members on the team can ease anxiety. I hear what you're saying, but I still think Robbins' excuse makes more sense.
 

the only logical plan for Pitino - at this time - is to prepare as if he will NOT have Peterson or Robbins.

Expecting the NCAA to do the right thing or the logical thing is hopeless. Self-interest aside, as I read the rules, neither Peterson or Robbins qualifies as a hardship case. That is for things like moving home because Mom or Dad is dying, or something of that ilk. Wanting to play ball for your uncle is not the same thing.

so, you have to plan for the next season as if neither player is available. if one gets a waiver, great. If they both get waivers, double great. but you can't build a plan around it. Because if they don't get waivers, then you are hosed.

In other words, unless the U of MN's luck with the NCAA suddenly improves.......expect a lot of "small ball" next season.

True, but there is far more to it than that. Much more complicated situation, as you know.
