OT-(Former MBB recruit) Jonah Bolden ineligible
you'll recall we really wanted jonah bolden. see, e.g., http://mgoblog.com/category/tags/jonah-bolden.
he went to UCLA. but not really because he's ineligible. http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/11512….
hope he get it worked out; glad we don't have to deal with it.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:12 PM ^
Jeebus dude. Way too irrelevant and way too close to "Joe Bolden" to be posting in-season.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:15 PM ^
Did your mother have any children that lived?
September 12th, 2014 at 2:20 PM ^
Daleks don't have children.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:34 PM ^
What's a dalek?
September 12th, 2014 at 2:37 PM ^
The mutated remains of the Kaled people of the planet Skaro.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:42 PM ^
What is a Kaled and Skaro?
September 12th, 2014 at 2:52 PM ^
Skaro is a little bit of the alien planet where where kale come from. Kaleds were one of two humanoid races which originally inhabited the planet. The other race died of because of the kale and a failure to heal a little bit of a boo boo. They were meat eaters apparently.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:53 PM ^
Maybe I got this wrong. Im confused.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:46 PM ^
WHAT?????????????
Yeah I know I'm kind of an old man but someone please clue me in on what the heck these guys are talking about. Is this something about them there new fangled video games?? That there Atari or something?

This is a Dr. Who thing isn't it. Damn. Now you're pushing in the deep corners of my memories.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:23 PM ^
LOL from this whole exchange. +1 for all involved.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:50 PM ^
So I'm confused. Are bowties still cool?
Not sure I've completely warmed up to Peter Capaldi yet, although I am happy for the change. Interesting dynamic he has going with Clara. Then again, he is supposed to be pretty gruff. I have to say, though, that the most recent episode was a bit frustrating.
September 12th, 2014 at 4:35 PM ^
Dhani Jones says hell yes, bowties are cool!
September 12th, 2014 at 6:59 PM ^
My wife hasn't come around yet on the new Doctor, but I like Capaldi. Seems like that's the trend (women dislike vs men liking). I like a less whimsical Doctor for a change and one that doesn't view life as so precious like the previous 2 or 3. I'm excited to see what they do with a darker Doctor. I do find his Scottish accent difficult to understand at times though.
September 19th, 2014 at 9:46 AM ^
I'm ok with the accent. I actually never even thought about it until I started reading articles about how difficult it was to understand.
I do like the darker tone of the Doctor, which came out quite a bit more with David Tennant than it did with Matt Smith. David Tennant's Doctor could be scary vindictive.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:15 PM ^
Silver linings. :D
September 12th, 2014 at 2:16 PM ^
Joe could always be short for Jonah. Way too close. I got nervous.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:19 PM ^
Too bad he didn't title it "Bolden Ineligible." I'm in the mood for a Friday negbang.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:20 PM ^
...to neg as far as I'm concerned.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:17 PM ^
kind of a dick post. what's the purpose here? To let us know some kid is going through a hardship?
September 12th, 2014 at 2:17 PM ^
My god I thought for a brief moment in time that "Joe" is short for "Jonah" and this terrified me.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:18 PM ^
c'mon
September 12th, 2014 at 2:26 PM ^
BOLDEN INELIGIBLE!?!?
September 12th, 2014 at 2:27 PM ^
I read the story and I still don't get why he's ineligible. Here's what ESPN said:
Sources told ESPN the issue stems from Bolden leaving Australia after his senior season had already begun to attend Findlay Prep in Las Vegas. Bolden left Findlay in December and finished at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:35 PM ^
That's what it looks like the problem is. Most places require a year.
I have no idea why you'd have to be a resident in a US state, though, to play for a college.
/shot in the dark.
//I'm curious now, too.
Edit: just read four articles. None of them cleared it up.
The ESPN video didn't either, but the problem seems to be the move from Austrailia to the first school looked suspicious.
That's the best I came up with.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:38 PM ^
I've been reading and coming up empty, too. Everyone seems to be referring to this ESPN report that didn't really say anything.
Also... apparently not many people around here follow basketball recruiting. I'm a little surprised that no one seems to remember this guy.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:42 PM ^
We probably won't know much more until a new bit of news comes out.
Australia, for the record. I really need to proof my posts.
Also, the auto loading video on ESPN seems to be the most revealing of all the stuff I either read or saw.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:30 PM ^
You know who would definitely be able to add something to this discussion.......
........where the hell is GROOT when you need him?
September 12th, 2014 at 2:32 PM ^
How come I don't really remember this Jonah Bolden fellow being someone that was ever in very serious consideration for landing in Ann Arbor. Seems very distantly OT but what the heck right. We're still under a week from a firm fisking and preparing for a worthless game tomorrow. WTF.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:37 PM ^
He's the Aussie we were after. Seemed like he was high on Michigan.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:41 PM ^
...he was showing up in Brian's recruiting updates, film and all. His father played with Glen Rice in high school.

Good thing there was a POSbang today. You may need the Mgopoints.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:56 PM ^
How do you check how many points you have?
September 12th, 2014 at 3:02 PM ^

September 12th, 2014 at 4:33 PM ^
I guess I should use the site more instead of the app. Thank you.
September 12th, 2014 at 2:40 PM ^
I thought this post was informative and interesting, and I remember quite well who John Bolden is. But maybe it's because my fandom resides for the most part in the world of basketball these days. It's so much more pleasant.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:03 PM ^
John Bolden! Whoa....whoa....
September 12th, 2014 at 2:51 PM ^
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Oh wait...
September 12th, 2014 at 3:06 PM ^
Darwin Gardner and Jabari Peppers are ineligable along with John, Jonah, and Jehu Bolden.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:08 PM ^
Im just kidding guys! Im not koalafied to make these statements.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:27 PM ^
Damn double posts... "Hey sweetie, this never happens to me, I swear...."
September 12th, 2014 at 3:51 PM ^
enjoys double, triple, and even quadruple posts on occasion. She thinks they are cute.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:12 PM ^
changed the title for those who were confused.
