“Embarrassing”: Fans React As Rick Pitino’s St. John’s Gets Huge Boost After 5-Star Transfer Prospect Granted TRO in Eligibility Case
The NCAA has been in turmoil over student-athlete eligibility rules for quite some time now. There has been a lot of discourse over what should be allowed and where the NCAA should draw the line.
The NCAA has faced ongoing debates over student-athlete eligibility rules, with no clear consensus on where to draw the line. In a recent development, 5-star transfer prospect Keyshawn Hall, who played for Auburn, has been granted a temporary restraining order in New York regarding his eligibility case. The hearing is set for Tuesday, and as of now, Hall is eligible to join St. John's team this season.
Fans have been critical of St. John's, the NCAA, and the situation surrounding Hall's eligibility. One fan remarked, "Just keep trying in different states until you get the answer you want. Embarrassing."
Hall previously sued the NCAA in Queens Supreme Court, similar to another St. John's recruit, Babacar Sane, who also received a temporary restraining order. However, while Sane's case had a final ruling, Hall's case remained unresolved, leaving him waiting for a decision on his fifth year of eligibility. After securing the temporary restraining order in New York, Hall now has a hearing scheduled for October 6.
For the time being, he is cleared to play under Rick Pitino. Last season, Hall contributed significantly to Auburn, averaging 19.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 36 games.
