Louisville won the natty in 2013, yeah I'm still bitter as hell about it.

The ruling by Judge Brian Edwards provides temporary eligibility protection to athletes named in the lawsuit, including University of Louisville basketball players Seth Trimble and L.J. Wells, Louisville football player Jabari Mack and University of Kentucky football player Alex Afari Jr. It also prohibits the NCAA from imposing penalties against schools or coaches for allowing those athletes to compete.

Yet many college basketball fans probably still haven't heard of him, yet. For a couple of reasons, until recently, he wasn't even on the radar of major high school and college insiders, due to him being a SERIOUS late bloomer, ranked in the middle of the pack of the recruiting rankings at best, but, all that changed when he tried out for this summer's USA U17 World Cup squad, a team composed of all the very best players in next year's class, not only did he make the team, but along side the best of the best, he was, by far, the best player on the team, he ended up proving to be one of the most dominating players on any high school to college relevant Team USA squad in decades.

He reclassified up one year to the 2026 class, and Duke luckily snatched him up.

He's Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje, 7 ft 2 inch starting center for title contender Duke, and yes, they are going to be a title contender this season mainly because of him.

Get your popcorn ready, because players like this don't grace the college ranks with their presence very often.

Jalen Washington, Zakai Zeigler, Cameron Fens, and AJ Storr are among the players denied a 5th year of eligibility by the state Supreme Court. Not sure where those players go from here. They clearly chose the wrong state to file suit in.​
