Syracuse basketball signee Quincy Guerrier won’t enroll for spring 2019 (LINKS)

As we’ve discussed here before, Syracuse Orange men’s basketball signee Quincy Guerrier has been playing the waiting game with the NCAA to try and enroll for spring 2019. Unfortunately, that process has stalled out and prevented him from arriving early — according to a story from Syracuse.com’s Donna Ditota on Monday.

Since Guerrier is from Quebec, English is his second language. That presented some additional hoops to jump through in order to cover all bases for the NCAA, and according to Ditota’s conversation with his coach, that time has now expired. Still, assuming all credits are covered and all, this shouldn’t prevent him from still arriving later on this year for the 2019-20 season.

Give Guerrier’s offensive prowess, he’ll be a welcome addition whenever he arrives at SU. Syracuse might have figured some things out when it comes to scoring the basketball these past couple games. That said, there will be turnover this offseason, and we’ll take the extra help anywhere we can get it.

The process was complicated by a few factors, notably the time constraints and Guerrier’s academic records, all of which needed to be translated from his native French to English and then presented to the NCAA for a ruling.

Syracuse students started classes last week, but students would generally be allowed to enroll this semester as late as Tuesday, the last day to add or drop a class.
