Rodney Hood / Julius Mays

[Censored by Laurie]

I'm watching them play right now. I'd love for the NCAA to explain to me why, but I don't get to see T.J. Taylor.

I hate the NCAA.

Can you give some background on those two?

I figured hood would be in the NBA after this year. Maybe that "plays" into this situation?

Rodney Hood is a wing from Meridian, Mississippi who averaged 10ppg and played 30 games for Mississippi State LAST SEASON.

Julius Mays is a guard from Marion, IN who played 30 games and led Wright State in scoring LAST SEASON.

I'm watching Duke vs. Kentucky.

Didn't Mays graduate and thus why eligible?

That one makes sense then.

You are correct.

As for Hood, I don't know why he was granted a waiver to play this year.

It sure does seem that we get the shaft often. I'm surprised Franklin was able to play right away or did he have to sit for a year?

He was granted immediate eligibility on account of his sick dad. The NCAA is like a blind squirrel, they find a nut every once in a while or the poor bastard would starve.

Don't get me wrong...it's not that I didn't "know" the answer to my question.
