This is sad news for another young man. The word I hear is that he had originally intended to transfer to to a high school in Logan, WV, and was not allowed to enroll, due to the grade and eligibility issues in NY, the coach in Logan is the son of the PCC coach, a call was made and eligibility was assured to him and his parents. This is unfortunate for him as I undertstand he is an outstanding player, but scholastics must factor into the equation too. The PC administration should be ashamed of themselves for trying to use a kid to further their own agenda, i.e., JPC, you should be careful what you wish for and watch what you do to get back to the state tourney, you never know when the next bomb will drop. And, before you question the truth of this, I know from the front row!!

According to a source in Jamestown, to the best of their knowledge, Jaysean was eligible to play this year so I don't know why this even came up. I do not know what the official reason for his ineligibility, but I would be surprised if it was ineligibility to play in NYS. I know a lot of you maintain that I am a hater but that is not true -- just realistic and in the "second row" as far as information goes. I also heard a story about the reason he was there was for credit recovery. He didn't need to leave NYS for that which makes it look very suspect. The Logan, WV school already enrolled a WNY "transfer" so it might have looked like recruiting to Logan to have 2 "transfers" show up from WNY.

He had plenty of exposure in NYS, the University of Buffalo b'ball coach, Reggie Witherspoon watched him play many times and they are D-1. How come no other D-1 schools are recruiting him? I hate to say it, but he is a liability because as another poster said, he would not be any good to a team sitting on the bench. You still have to be a complete package for D-1: school is part of it. And don't start with shame on J'Town -- they worked really hard to keep him eligible to play but when the season is over, maybe he didn't care. It is always up to the player to be accountable for themselves.

If appealing the ruling turns out in his favor as another poster mentioned, good for him. It would be a shame to have his "senior" year wasted based on promises. Karma can be a b_ _ _ch.
