Matt Jones' recent comments about Jamal Murray

[teamchemistry15]

My gut says they will work it out and he will get to play with no issue. He didn't need a bunch of time to get the chemistry down with team Canada so I don't see it being an issue here. Didn't he play with Ulis in the past as well? Or was that someone else? I think he wants to play at UK but you also know he wants to play for his country. I bet they work it out. Again, just a gut feeling but my gut also says I need to lay off the ice cream as well.

Steve Nash needs to step off.

What a mess, I really don't mind if he misses a week or so as long as it doesn't get UK in any sort of violations.

Looks like this is going to come down to the wire.

@AdamZagoria: We will hear Jamal Murray's fate later this week but source its 'not looking good b/c of Kentucky's admissions & attendance policy'

@AdamZagoria: To clarify it's 'not looking good' for him to play w/ Canada in Olympic qualifying

He really should've led with that.

Murray not expected to play for Canada

Dodged a bullet on that one. He could still play on their Olympic team, if they make it that is. I'm sure Troiano and Nash have seen enough of him to know he could contribute in that setting. Now we just need confirmation that Skal will be eligible. I haven't heard anything at all about that.

[Joneslab]

I haven't heard anything at all about that.

IMO that won't heat up for another month at least. The NCAA tends to work at a glacial pace. I'd say we'll be waiting to hear final word in mid-to-late October.

I'll have to dig, but seems like Cal stated publicly that Skal is eligible. I guess the obvious question is whether or not the NCAA decides to contest that eligibility.

Cal will just say "If I want someone to be eligible then they will be eligible. There's nothing you can do about it."

I'd feel much better hearing it from the NCAA.
