    Apart from having a cool name, it looks like this young man is a '98 from Chicago who recently joined the club.

    I don't understand NCAA rules well enough to know -- would any college levels be off-limits to a player who spent time in a Mexican academy? It seems like a lot of these guys end up in junior colleges, then kind of fall off the map. Perhaps some head back to Mexico .

    Maybe others end up at NAIA schools or whatever; I don't know much about it, but it seems kind of curious to me that we don't seem to hear about many guys who spent time with big Mexican clubs and then contribute at big NCAA programs. Surely some of them are good enough.

    Could be I just miss the stories, of course.

    I think it depends on how much compensation they got and how many years from the time they finished HS till they try to matriculate.

    The JuCo and NAIA rules are definitely looser than the NCAA ones, though.
