He's on the 2016-17 roster because he played the full year on that roster. The school has not yet released its roster for the 2017-18 season. Probably won't happen until June. BTW, you'll still find Bass on the roster for the 2015-16 season.
At the time that we were all focused on AFS remaining or going, the coach stated publicly that the staff was working hard with Jaleel during exam week to get him through those tests. Jaleel missed practices that week in order to study. As a result, he did not start in the Western Ky and the Fort Wayne games. Go back and watch the post-game press conferences. I think BA's comment on this issue is in one of them. Ergo, I'm thinking that upper class grades during this past year may have been a struggle for the young man. There could be many reasons for it - and those reasons are none of our business.
All I know is that on the court, he gave 100% or more each game under many challenging circumstances. And he appears to be a good young man. That's all that matters to me whatever happens. Sometimes things just don't work out despite the best efforts of all involved. And other times, a rabbit can actually be pulled out of a coach's hat for a positive result. So, I hope for the positive result and am prepared for the negative - with malice towards none.

Some of it's basketball related and some is not. It doesn't matter really. It might be best if he has a year off; he can get his academics (and FT%) in order without the added responsibilities of being an active athlete and come back the following year ready to go for UAB.

Actually what makes most sense is his transferring and sitting out a year. This will allow him to focus on academics which sometimes elude even the nicest of young men. Maybe despite the loss we will in fact be better in the long run despite how dissapointing it appears now. This may in fact open the door for those willng to commit to the Titan Way of excellence that we expect both on the court and in the classroom.

Why couldn't he sit out next season at UDM and focus on his school work? It looks like Hogan wanted out. Who knows why, it's difficult to get information from the Pentagon...oops, I meant Calihan Hall.
