I was told that it wasnt covcath that denied him but rather he chose newcath. I heard he didnt think there was enough diversity at covcath and didnt feel comfortable.

I can tell you that this is 100% false.

That may be the case. Just what I heard from some CCH parents who had heard that.

I wish the kid the best, wherever he lands.

Any updates on this kid?

Lots of talk around Cincinnati about a kid (or maybe it's two kids) who may or may not be attending Clark next year. Sounds like the same kid we're talking about in this thread. Unless of course there are multiple seven footers from Africa that are deciding where to go to school in the fall.

Just to add another detail:

 

CovCath: wanted no part of this young man. When looking at transfer credits he was going to be a 17 year old freshman. Did not entertain the idea of him attending there.

So Cordia will take him and make him an 8th grader.

My daughter who was a sophmore last year at NCC met this young man as they did a school tour, he is going to be a Jr this fall. She said he was very nice mentioned looking at 3 schools. This is the 1st time I have ever heard anyone say he was not accepted at other schools. The young man came back a 2nd time and told the students that he haf chosen NCC because of the size and the warm welcome that he received. Is that true? IDK, but my oh my there are lots of NCC haters on this! Lol

Welcome aboard niccik07.

 

And you might be in over your head on this one.

Prob so lol, I could personally care less. But my daughter said he was a gentle giant and everyone went out of their way to make him feel welcome. NCC is a very small school, but I could go on and on about how happy we are there. Graduated one who completed EKU first year with 3.7. Said mom this was easier than some of my HS classes lol. Great education, loyalty and service, arts and athletics. Truth is there are but a few people who know the "real" truth about this kid. All the gossip reminds me of HS! Hahahs

You think this is about NCC haters. Ooookaaayy! LOL!

Yes being my first time on here, all the negative posts about how ncc will take anyone, blah blah blah. It was not complimentary. When 90 % of it sounds like the teenage girls bullcrap gossip that goes on. I would dare to say not one person personally knows this boy, his family, his background, his previous schools, grades,etc . Its hearsay. I heard this, i heard that. one person heard from a cch parent he didnt Choose them, someone else heard from a cch parent they denied him.which is it? Like i said I couldn't care less. But everyone is safely behind user names and saying nothing of value. All gossip and nonsense. Say what you will be about NCC but we have had wonderful experiences up there.

Generally speaking I believe NCC receives high praise here at BGP.

 

Maybe you should search the forums and do some reading instead of basing your opinion on this one issue (that certainly is worthy of analysis) that you are personally involved with.

NCC Alum here, I think NCC gets more than it's fair share of praise on this site. In fact I don't recall much negativity ever.

 

I have heard a lot about this kid, from other fans and administrators at other schools. If NCC took him in as a Jr, I'm suprised, and I can guarantee you it will be reviewed extremely thoroughly by the State at the request of some other local schools.

 

Another AD I know said "from what I hear, I can't believe he will EVER be eligible."

 

I guess we'll all find out soon enough...
