Three boys basketball players who transferred from Arlington Grace Prep to Prime Prep were ruled ineligible for the 2012-13 season by the 11-3A district executive committee on Wednesday.
Two of the three players ruled ineligible are big-name, high-profile recruits — junior Emmanuel Mudiay (scholarship offers from Kentucky and Kansas) and senior Karviar Shepherd (TCU pledge). Another high-profile player from Grace Prep — senior Jordan Mickey (LSU pledge) — was ruled eligible.
See below for updates from the meeting:
@corbettsmithDMN (11:43 a.m.): D.L. Wallace said he understood that he could appeal to the state DEC. “Absolutely, we will do that.”
@DavidSchechter (WFAA, 11:41 a.m.): INELIGIBLE: Athletics board strikes down 3 of 4 star hoops players for improper transfer to @deionsanders’ #PrimePrep.
@corbettsmithDMN (11:40 a.m.) : Grace Prep xfer Karviar Shepherd voted down, 3-1 on addy issues; @DeionSanders pleas “why are we pretending that it doesn’t take a village”
@mattwixon (11:36 a.m.): I’m not sure how Jordan Mickey was different than the other #PrimePrep players. But I’m not privy to the paperwork. He passed. #txhshoops
@corbettsmithDMN (11:29 a.m.): Mickey surprisingly passes! 3-2, with Wilmer-Hutchins, Irving North Hills and Roosevelt voting yes. Jordan Mickey is a 6-7 senior, committed to LSU.
@mattwixon (11:27 a.m.): Not looking good for these players to get approved. Biggest recruit Mudiay just got voted down 4-1. #PrimePrep
@corbettsmithDMN (11:25 a.m.): First #PrimePrep transfer from Grace Prep voted down, 0-5. Looks certain that Mudiay, Mickey and Shepherd will be voted down … First national recruit at #PrimePrep voted down by DEC with little discussion. #txhshoops
@corbettsmithDMN (11:22 a.m.): D.L. Wallace gets a chance to plead his case for virtues of #PrimePrep , to deaf ears I think.
@corbettsmithDMN (11:20 a.m.): Irving North Hills asks a good question: did Grace Prep xfers look at any other charters (five or six mentioned by him) as alternative?
@corbettsmithDMN (11:19 a.m.): Four PAPFs from Grace Prep up.
@mattwixon (11:14 a.m.): Still no Grace Prep players considered. #PrimePrep #txhshoops
@corbettsmithDMN (11:11 a.m.): 3 Denton Ryan transfers rejected by committee. One was a good Bball player on Ryan’s 4A semifinalists last year. Now ineligible for varsity
@corbettsmithDMN (11:07 a.m.): @DeionSanders asks Ferris’ Emeyabbi about tuition as reason for Grace Prep xfers. Chair shouts down talk, trying to stay on task
@mattwixon (11:05 a.m.): #PrimePrep cofounder DL Wallace questions right of exec committee to reject PAPFs that look clean. #txhshoops
@corbettsmithDMN (11:01 a.m.): Heated back and forth between #PrimePrep founder Wallace and Ferris administrators about how they justify rejecting clean PAPF
@mattwixon (10:55 a.m.): Haven’t got to Grace Prep basketball players yet. But from talk about other transfers, it’s clear Ferris coach will vote no. #txhshoops
@corbettsmithDMN (10:40 a.m.): Lincoln transfer held up until next meeting. DEC chair wants clarification on his transfer from Skyline to Lincoln last year.
@corbettsmithDMN (10:36 a.m.): Nothing yet denying #PrimePrep transfers, but no Grace Prep kids up so far. First D1 kid up (Lincoln transfer).
@mattwixon (10:32 a.m.): Yes, there are lots of PAPFs for #PrimePrep. None of the big names for hoops yet. #txhshoops
@corbettsmithDMN (10:21 a.m.): First three PAPFs pass with little fanfare. But….D.L. Wallace essentially taunting DEC chairwoman by reading parent letter from Madison transfer. Wow. Willard (Madison prin.) visibly angry.
@corbettsmithDMN (10:11 a.m.): Willard pulling out the UIL manual. Ruh roh. It’s getting parliamentary.
@corbettsmithDMN (10:07 a.m.): Mistaken that Forsett is here. It’s Andre Johnson, who’s affiliated with PrimePrep how? Self identified “concerned citizen”
@mattwixon (10:02 a.m.): #PrimePrep athletes need majority vote of DEC members. Other members are Madison, Ferris, Wilmer Hutchins, Roosevelt, North Hills.
@corbettsmithDMN (9:59 a.m.): Nope, @DeionSanders is here. Meeting should start shortly.
@corbettsmithDMN (9:58 a.m.): D.L. Wallace and Ray Forsett here for #PrimePrep , no @DeionSanders as of yet.
@corbettsmithDMN (9:53 a.m.): DEC chair Willard told me yesterday that she got corrected PAPFs from#PrimePrep late Tuesday afternoon. She’d asked for them ASAP last Wed.
@corbettsmithDMN (9:44 a.m.): DEC chairwoman Marian Willard putting out placards, put Ferris and #PrimePrep next to each other. When she noticed, she quickly charged it.
@corbettsmithDMN (8:45 a.m.): Expect fireworks at this morning’s 11-3A DEC mtg., looking at #PrimePrep transfers. I’ll be live tweeting for those interested: starts 10am … Will not be surprised if top 100 recruits Emmanuel Mudiay, Jordan Mickey and Karviar Shepherd are all voted down (& ineligible this season) … #PrimePrep Mudiay, Mickey and Shepherd would appeal to state DEC, but the vibe I’m getting from the UIL is not in their favor.
Background on today’s meeting:
With boys basketball practice beginning in two weeks, the slow dance between the 11-3A District Executive Committee and Deion Sanders’ Prime Prep Academy should quicken Wednesday.
The committee will gather for an emergency meeting, attempting to tackle questions regarding the eligibility of several of the charter school’s boys athletes, including three nationally ranked basketball players who transferred from TAPPS champions Arlington Grace Prep.
To become eligible, the players will have to show residency in the charter’s home attendance zone, identical to Dallas ISD’s borders, and that they did not transfer to Prime Prep for athletic purposes.
