Forget about him he won't be anything. This Morrow kid will be an NFL player and he's the #1 player in Kansas. We'll see how good of a recruiter Charlie Weis really is.

KU To Appeal NCAA Staff's Denial Of McCay Waiver Request

Subcommittee will have a decision by May 1.

April 20, 2012

LAWRENCE, Kan. - The University of Kansas will appeal sophomore wide receiver Justin McCay's eligibility waiver request directly to the NCAA Subcommittee for Legislative Relief after the NCAA staff Friday denied KU's original waiver request.

KU, because of McCay's extenuating personal circumstances, had requested a waiver of the NCAA's rule that requires transfers to sit out a year of competition. The NCAA staff informed KU Friday that it could not approve KU's request for a waiver based on the guidelines the staff is required to follow.

The NCAA staff, however, recommended that KU appeal the decision to the Subcommittee for Legislative Relief, which is comprised of representatives from conferences and universities from around the country. The Subcommittee is the only group with the authority to deviate from the waiver guidelines that the NCAA staff is required to follow when approving waiver requests.

"We are disappointed in the NCAA staff's decision," said head coach Charlie Weis. "But we will take its advice and will appeal to the Subcommittee. We certainly hope that the members of the Subcommittee, who work day-to-day on campuses and in conference offices, will see Justin's situation for what it is and make a decision that is in his best interest.

"I've spoken to Justin and he understands the initial ruling by the NCAA and is encouraged that they recommended that we appeal his case to the Subcommittee. He will make a statement after the ruling by the Subcommittee."

KU will make its appeal by next Tuesday, April 24. The Subcommittee will make its decision by 5 p.m., Tuesday, May 1.

Has it ever even been explained what his special circumstances are? He was already granted a waiver by Oklahoma to avoid sitting for two years, why the **** should he be allowed to play right away. The only circumstances I see are that he sucks and couldn't cut it at Oklahoma, so now he has to come crawling back home to a team with little to no talent on the roster.

Kids need to be better educated on how the bigger programs dump players from their programs with regularity. I don't know why any 3* prospect would commit to Bama, LSU, OU, USC, etc.

Eh, I'm not gonna knock a kid for having confidence in his abilities and wanting to play for a winner.

Since Mizzou announced that Pinkel is getting a divorce, I've counted (in the conference realignment thread), 14 posts mocking KU and Coach Weis, and 0 mentioning Coach Pinkel by name.

Makes me chuckle.

Gary Pinkel got divorced. What does that have to do with conference realignment (or KU football for that matter)?

McCay was a 5*, wasn't he?

Kansas has a new football coach. What does his weight have to do with conference realignment? What does the way he conducts practice have to do with conference realignment?

Oh, look. We can play that game, too.

They got into a fight at the Hawk with the staff. Apparently a server/bartender asked Garrett not to smoke inside, and Garrett took issue with it. Bye.

Nope he was a 4* athlete and probably would have only been a 3* if he had been graded as a receiver.

Actually, he's a one-balled, one-eyed vagrant with a limp.

He was a 4*, but my post wasn't specifically geared towards him. In McCay's case, OU was already stacked at WR and recruited like 4 more studs for this year. The writing was on the wall for him.
