I personally think it's rediculous that Herrara is not eligible to play for UC and only furthers my hatred towards the NCAA. The kid passed ESL 1, 2, and 3, but the NCAA was not happy with the curriculum for ESL 1 and therefore he's not qualified. If the purpose of the class is to learn English, he obviously did well enough in ESL 1 to pass the next two courses. I don't know much about law, but it seems to me that if Herrara wanted to, he could definitely make a race case towards the NCAA. Are they looking into curriculum for freshmen english classes for American students who pass English 10 and 11. I doubt it. I personally think the NCAA makes these types of decisions simply to show that they are powerful, when all they are doing is ruining some kids life. Honestly, anyone on the street would tell you that if a kid can speak English well, he obviously learned what he needed to know regardless of the curriculum. I hope they win this appeal soon, we could really use his size inside right about now.

He was slow and whined a lot in the summer league,
but maybe that was because he was out of shape. He
seemed to need an attitude adjustment, if he has
been dedicated enough to put on the muscle and
has had to sit out, plus spent some time around E
Hicks, then maybe he is ready to contribute at
least the underclassman "Brannen" minutes.

He did seem to have a decent touch on his jumper,
but it took him a LONG time to get it off....

He could have helped against that center from
Dayton. As much as I like Hicks and am glad we
have him, he cannot play center at 6’6",
especially in the Big East. Herrera has something
you can’t teach - size. Remember, he is 6’10"
and 255-60 lbs. He has to help by virtue of those
numbers alone.

I have not seen Hererra play but from looking at
him on the sidelines I can clearly see he is
much much bigger than anyone else we have on the
team. With his height and size alone I’d think
he could help some in the middle with
rebounding, defense, and putbacks.

The rumor is yes, Herrera will be in the lineup
at some point, because the
coaches have not given up on their appeals to
the NCAA.

Kennedy and Martin are working hard for their
guys, just like they always
have for the last many years.

I dont see Herrera being a strong presence this
year, but at least his
development can be done properly and the team
has five more fouls in the
post by letting him play.
