Did Louisville’s Gorgui Dieng graduate on time?
Gorgui Dieng Ruled Ineligible By Possibly Not Graduating On Time
The NCAA seems to be confused over this but NBEbasketball.com spoke with Dieng’s high school coach Rob Fulford from Hunington Prep (W Va.). Here’s what the coach had to say.
“[It has to do with his] African transcript,” Fulford said. “NCAA said he finished high school in Senegal, [but] he didn’t, so they then said he didn’t graduate on time [because of the] 8-semester rule. They appealed, but not sure where it is.
“[He] graduated here! They are saying he should have graduated over there. His last African transcript said 11th grade. It is obviously very confusing.”
SB Nation’s Louisville Blog “The Card Chronicle” weighs in further.
Update: It’s worth noting that the Card Chronicle folks called this a long time ago.
