I have. And wound up with torn retina and other issues. I read the article again and agree there is a lot of facts we are not given.

The reporting of this incident has been a little jaundiced imho. This wasn't a 'tourist gets attacked' situation. It was a fight gone wrong, as best I can tell.
They also seem to go out of their way to suggest he saw the guy choking on blood, then fled. But the eyewitness accounts don't say that plainly.
He shouldn't have left though. That hurts his 'defense of self/others' defense.

What kind of salary increase/bonus does one get and then pass up for having 2 losing seasons in the last 3 years, and going 9-15 in conference?
Just to close the loop on AOC ...

Duke might be pretty good this year. I heard they have a couple of good players.
Further confirms my suspicion that the NCAA did away with the "hardship" waiver to remove scrutiny when they basically just allow guys to waive the sit-out requirement.
Of course this means our guy will have his waiver denied.

Hasn't Banks already been told he will have to sit out? Anyone know if there's a chance he could play this year?
Last I read was that he had applied for the waiver and that it was 'under review' or STTE.
... so?

The NCAA waiver rules were ambiguous before the latest change. They may now be worse.
I heard conflicting reports as to whether we (or Banks) asked for a waiver. It could be we would rather have James sit this year while he develops physically and athletically. I would love to have him on the floor this year, but the lack of transparency about the existence of a waiver request makes me think the staff is happy to let him sit.

Like you don’t understand....
Our own beloved Justin Moore is about to take advantage of the same rule. Point being that wild his eligibility clock has started, his playing career clock has not. I actually support this type of waiver as opposed to Banks potential petition.

Justin played more minutes for GT last season than Banks played for Texas. Am I missing something?

Banks played in more games that Moore, 14 vs. 8. I agree that sitting out a season helps both him get acclimated to GT while providing a development opportunity that will pay off in his remaining seasons.
