ACE Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 -not to test my geography naming skills, if there are any, but from Africa it should go Albania, Alberta, Algeria, American Samoa, Arkansas (they are not part of the US educational system, are they?? ), Austria and then Australia, so Cody's day with the clearinghouse is coming - thank God he isn't from Zanzibar Not to dash your hopes, but Africa is not the name of a country (even though one prominent politician thought it was ), so the kid could be from Zambia or Zimbabwe... On a serioous note, I sure hope this Cody Ellis saga ends well. As each day passes it looks less promising.

And here I figured it was going something more like this - Big East, ACC, SEC, Big 12, Big 10, Pac 10, and then A-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were in the MVC, then he'd be cleared already. Damn you A-10! Damn you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they did the MVC before the A-10? Talk about really seeing this board explode! My take on this is until we hear either 1) he has signed with a pro team or 2) the NCAA has denied the appeal, I'm going to remain optimistic. I don't think there there is any type of drop dead date, although I sure don't like our chances if 2nd semester rolls around and he's not in St. Louis.

Hawk Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 the question is are they coming up to enroll him or are they coming up to talk to the NCAA? That's what I was wondering too... Either way though, at least he'll be in the States. We can hope that some gears are finally turning with getting him on the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 First off, I want to clarify that I got this second hand info (at best) at the game tonight. But the guy I was talking to said he heard from a big booster yesterday that Ellis had been cleared. He said he also heard Claiborne mention it on his radio show. The earliest he can see action is the official end of the 1st semester which is once all finals are completed. I guess that means mid to late December. Sounds promising.

House Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 One more note. The guy I was talking to talks to Alex Jenson nearly every day at the MAC and Jenson told him earlier in the week that Ellis would be the best player on the team from Day 1.

All this can't just be wishful thinking or false rumor, right?? No one knows anything?? This is what the release from Athletic Dept. said yesterday... THE WAITING GAME: SLU is still waiting for the NCAA to clear 6-foot-8 forward Cody Ellis (Perth, Australia/A.I.S.) for participation. Ellis was ranked the No. 1 power forward and the No. 3 player overall in the 2009 class in Australia. He helped the Emus to an undefeated pool play record at the FIBA World Championships and ended the U-19 tournament as the Aussies' second-leading scorer with 101 points. He ranked third on the team in rebounding with 51. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take this to be a positive sign that they are addressing it "officially" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 the semester will "end" officially at 5pm on Dec. 17 -- which would mean thereafter Ellis, if cleared, can practice and play. Mo State is the 19th --could it be the official unveiling of the Cody-bear???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
