AlaskanFAN 867 Report post Posted May 13 So here is a question - if......IF.......Heron did decide to come back to school..... 1) Did he finish out the semester? 1a) If he did not, how does that affect NCAA eligibility when it comes to the “Academic Progress” part of eligibility?

Article says he left "the roster" in April....which to me sounds like he left school......and isn't that in the middle of a semester? So sounds like he did not finish the current semester...which means what? The comments sounded problematic...."contemplates" , may, Interesting that the writer did not address the eligibility thing.. ..surely someone has checked the eligibility issue....guessing part of that "contemplation" is to be sure will be eligible to play this fall....or what it would take to become eligible.

Check his Twitter. He was still in class as of the 25th of April. Classes ended on the 27th with exams the following week. Edited May 13 by AUDub 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aujeff11 3,190 Report post Posted May 13 1 hour ago, AU64 said: Article says he left "the roster" in April....which to me sounds like he left school...... The day that Heron announced his intentions to sign an agent on Twitter, he said in another tweet that he wanted to make clear to everyone that he hadn’t signed with one yet. Sounds like Heron was already cognizant of his eligibility concerns if he didn’t get a good grade. Bruce has been very openly supportive of his players testing the waters so I’m sure he’s attaching necessary advice to his support. Doubt Bruce would let players skip school just to test the NBA waters. Skipping= submerging into NBA waters, not testing them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiger 3,623 Report post Posted May 14 (edited) Did he get invited to any workouts for teams like Bryce did for the Hawks? The lack of a combine invite is not a good sign for his NBA chances that's for sure. Would love to see him build on his first 2 years and be an integral part of making a deep run!

AuburnNTexas 1,468 Report post Posted May 14 It sounds like somebody gave him some good advice. Go do the tryouts and if these go well hire an agent if not then take stock of your situation. Do you want another year of college ball to work on your game or do you want to try the international circuit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
