Yesterday’s outcome for the junior college transfer, which included a no contest plea to a felony and two years of unsupervised probation, was more or less in line with what WVU had been made aware of previously.

Back when WVU was heavily recruiting and ready to offer Holton, the player was told everything was tied to how things ended up in court. Given the discussions I had with some people yesterday, it seem Wednesday’s ruling was not a surprise and that Holton is good to go on that end.

Academics are still an unknown, as his Palm Beach State College coach told me earlier this month. However, that seems to mostly involve completing courses. Granted, he has to get the grades in the classes, but he has to knock out the classes, too. It’s going to take some time and most likely keep him away from WVU for the summer.

In the meantime, here’s Sponge shooting 3s.
