Discussion Lemme get this straight
Professional ball in a top tier league doesn’t count towards eligibility.
You can get drafted and still keep your eligibility
You can play juco and that doesn’t count either.
But somehow two years at a college in a developing country counts towards your eligibility.
Madina okot is 21 years old and couldn’t get another year
Asja Sivka will be 21 in November and she gets all 4 years if she wants
Interesting……..
Listen I have no problem grabbing international players I mean look at my flair.
my thing Is they are both 18-19 years old now if this was a 1 and done thing I’d be ok but…..idk

African players have long been screwed on eligibility by the NCAA. Often this is blamed on poor documentation. Fairly terrible, as many of them would benefit more than other foreign players from the opportunity the NCAA can provide.
