Sounds like Mahi is now ineligible according to a Colorado ruling today. This is so nuts

My guess is that this flip flops 3 more times before season. It’s all a joke.

Exactly. I’m done paying attention to it or getting excited about it. I guess we’ll know when they take the court in November.
I believe ruling is a stay of the injunction pending appeal. That means Mahi back to ineligible status until Appeal heard by 10 th Circuit court. If NCAA loses Appeal, then Mahi becomes eligible again.

I think the recent stay order does not decide the merits of the Plaintiffs case. It just temporarily pauses the immediate effect of the injunction order until the NCAA’s appeal of the injunction order is finally decided within the next several months.
How is Mahi’s eligibility/ineligibility impacted by the academic calendar? Some questions that come to mind:
(1) When is the last day that Mahi can enroll for fall semester if/ when he is deemed eligible?
(2) Might he enroll anyway, just to make sure that he’s eligible with the school once he becomes eligible with the NCAA? I guess he wouldn’t have a scholarship in that scenario.
(3) If he’s deemed eligible in November which is too late to enroll in the fall semester, can he enroll in the winter semester and start playing games in late December?

I would guess there are ways to dance around the enrollment issue. I’m sure they can retroactively enroll him somehow. Or they will enroll him in something to keep him eligible.

Indiana state court grants a preliminary injunction so Elijah Mahi is currently eligible again. Over/Under for this to change 2.5 more times before the start of the season

If he suited up while deemed eligible and he was later deemed ineligible, would we have to forfeit the games he played?
Hopefully everything is settled before it comes to that. FWIW Alabama didn’t have to forfeit the 3 games Charles Bediako played when he was temporarily eligible.
I am sure most of you saw Jalen practiced with the team last week. While of course he would be positive talking about the Broncos, it was still nice to hear him say this team was going to be “really good this year.”

Does anyone have any insight into Elijah Mahi’s plans with the recent court ruling?
I know he has been practicing with the team and was enrolled as a student at the start of the quarter

Jonathan Givony just tweeted the Broncos are getting Creighton transfer Fedor Zugic . A 23 yr old from Montenegro who averaged 5.2 points in 16 minutes last season. He has two years of eligibility

Zugic was the youngest player ever in the EuroLeague and looked like a top collegiate prospect when he came stateside. That never exactly panned out as expected. So this is a Sendek-special reclamation project of a potentially explosive talent who hasn’t put it all together yet.

Does this addition displaced somebody? Perhaps Mahi is out? I’m a bit confused.

I believe that this transfer from Creighton totals 14, so there is room for Mahi if it comes to fruition.

I wonder how all the minutes are gonna be distributed and how that’ll affect team chemistry?
9 days until their first exhibition against San Jose State, it’s closed, so hopefully some info leaks

Minutes are always a good puzzle to be solved but on a positive note, we should be coming at our opponents in waves. Now, that will be a problem for the other guys to solve. Defend this! Personally, I’d rather have the minutes puzzle.
