    No - Upchurch completed all the courses the school told him to complete to be eligible under NCAA requirements.  Where the problem came was that the Jesuit making the final decision said on second thought no.  Grawer got the school to agree to use the NCAA requirements as the line after the fiasco   The Jesuit who torpedoed Upchurch was applying benchmarks for what the non-athlete had to meet.  I guess he did not get the memo.  By the way I knew this Jesuit and he was a big a$$ and was constantly throwing his weight around.  Lets not kid ourselves, an athlete can get into just about any school with less credentials then other students.

    This will never not piss me off.

    Want to get in a worse mood? Rivera had 12 points and 7 rebounds in Bryant's upset of then #10 and currently #13 FAU.  It has been 11 seasons since we beat a ranked opponent.  We haven't beaten a top 10 team on the road, like Bryant did, since we beat #3 Kentucky on March 2, 1964.

     

    You gotta be f-ing kidding me.

    This is not quite as bad as the Cardinals with Arozarena, Gallen, Alcantara, Garcia, etc., but it ain't good.

    I think Bruce has a much higher ceiling than Heinrich.  Heinrich was a better defensive player than Bruce is right now, but Heinrich never had the natural offensive ability that Bruce has displayed.  Bruce is a better athlete than Heinrich.  That isn't meant as a shot at Heinrich.  Heinrich was a serviceable center on two NCAA tournament teams while playing in a much better conference loaded with  high quality big men.  He would have been an even better if he ever got himself into better shape while he was here and if he could have learned how to stay out of foul trouble.  He ended up playing for over a decade in Europe.  

    Remember before we had Conklin Summers we had Heinrich going to big man camp, and for years everyone would ask why our bigs wouldn't just go to the big man camp Heinrich went to and magically transform into better players.
