Sounds like he is Academically Ineligible to me

[maumellebyrd]

He should be good in math class

One baby + One baby = Two babies

[razorbackfan4life]

teh suck

[12247]

What does ineligible mean.  Usually that term is associated with grades or transfer status.  Does anyone at this point KNOW why he isn't playing.  This kid has been humored to want to transfer.  Is there maybe a problem?  Not saying, just asking.

[Kevin]

sorry he is leaving, but i think we are still in good shape.

Sounds like he is Academically Ineligible to me

He would be ineligble for one semester and if his grades were good enough this semester he could play the spring semester. I have a feeling this has nothing to do with grades.

[hawgpharmer]

Is that the last of Stan's players??? 
Happy trails patrick

[OKhogfan1959]

I think Pelphrey maybe got tired of P Beverly's attitude. Doesn't seem like a grade problem.

Maybe something to so with the difference in Stan and Pel? Some like to work hard and do the right things and some don't.

Welsh and Washington are still here.

[The Original 69]

He was overated.

[Nutts and Bolts]

We will be fine without him....

[Oliver]

You guys are going to be surprised how much we are going to miss him this year.  With the graduation of Weems, Townes, and the ineligibility of Beverley...just who do we have that is a proven scorer at the college level.

We're going to miss Beverley.

Yeah, I think we miss him on the court. 

Hope the reason is not b/c of some terrile event or action on anyone's part.

I dont think we will miss him at all.  He never wanted to play in Pel's scheme, imho.

When you lose the 2nd leading scorer on your team, you notice.  No matter how much he likes or dislikes the coaches style of play.

[jgphillips3]

The suspicion is that it is grades.

[TransAmHawg]

In Pel we trust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll be fine, goodbye Mr. Beverley

[Spiral_cut]

Does anyone here think he is good enough to play professionally anywhere? Say Europe?

[Oliver]

Does anyone here think he is good enough to play professionally anywhere? Say Europe?

I don't think he has NBA Talent.  He's one of those players that had good college level talent but will probably end up someplace in Europe.

[hog_fan]

If it were his grades then he could get thigns in order and play in the Spring.

[crowhawg]

Under "student privacy laws" you can say a student is transferring but you can't say a student has flunked out.

[Billy]

Welcome to the starting lineup Rotnie Clarke!!!

[iCalledThatHogBrotha!]

Some of y'all are crazy.  Patrick had the most talent AND heart on the team.  I'm pissed!

[rmcchris]

From good sources, it is about grades.  Stay tuned.

[Amityvillehogger]

Some of you idiots are stupid.  This will hurt.

Seems to confirm my sources and earlier post.  I agree with those who say this will hurt, no way it can not.

[spudhog]

He is/was/will always be one of my favorite hogs. He played as hard if not harder than any other to wear that jersey. I hope he gets his life in line and is a productive citizen

[Razorvet]

He was very inconsistant last season. If hes gone then fine but where do we go from here? What does our team look like next year? Are we an NIT team? As young as we are gonna be the post season experience would be good.

[Billy]

it will definately hurt, but the optimist in me says that this will force a youngster to step up. i think our whole starting backcourt will be freshmen this season.

1. Fortson
2. Clarke
3. Henry
4. Washington
5. Sanchez

[Prosciutto]

All he did was go 100% all the time. We will miss him this year, but I have confidence in our team.

[big dread hog]

Patrick must have gotten caught in one of the big no no's as in plagary or cheating to be gone for the year.  Academic Standards are not to be messed with and apparently PB did.

[forrest city joe]

Some of you idiots are stupid.  This will hurt.

I agree this will hurt. but lets face it. were we going to win any championships even with him? this basketball program has to recruite better players.PERIOD! i hope Pel can do it.

[elksnort]

We'll have to worry about this in basketball season.

Anyone who says that it will not be a loss, please explain your position.

[Hoggy1]

This hurts....especially for the NCAA.

May have to settle with NIT this year

[12247]

Beverly was/is a good player.  He stood out last year amoung all the seniors.  Seemed to work hard.  Maybe he can take care of business if it is grades and play again after this season of even after Jan 1 if all goes well.  We needed this Guy's leadership.

[ste4236]

That's too bad, he was a stud. Only played in 2 AAU Tournaments in HS, which is why he was such a steal.

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

EFF ME!!!!!!!!

CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RZRBack_FAN]

Well that pretty much gurantees Rotnie astarting spot.

Just my opinion. but i think it's time to wish PB the best and move on. i like the kid and hopes he does well. but it's time to recruite better players and move on.

[board]

Not really surprised. He didn't seem to be into playing basketball last year. Coaches, kids, who knows...........

[ste4236]

I dont know how he felt about Pelphrey as the season went on, but off the bat I don't believe he was too fond of him.

[BigSexyHog]

Well that sucks.  Makes me wonder WTH is going on.  Hope it is nothing serious.

[heathtits]

This is just great. How perfect that we JUST gave Pel a freaking raise. If we lose 1 of Henry or Fortson as well, WE ARE SCREWED. We already are pretty much there losing Beverley. This is truly a shame.

[jeffreyw]

Who is next?

Whatever the 'issue' is I hope for Patrick it gets resolved.

[Billy]

I'd say pel deserves the raise more than ever. This is too much of a headache for 700K.
