So we are basically gaining all the evidence we need of the situation from Danny Meehan himself. Apparently the reason he did not play his year at private school is because he was ineligible. Therefore if he were eligible he would have played. Does this mean that if someone is declared ineligible in a Columbia school and later moves to a Greenville school to repeat that grade that they should be allowed an extra year of eligibility? Really there is no way around it, he had bad grades, was declared in eligible and then repeated the grade. There is no exception when you declare yourself ineligible do to bad grades. If his grades were good in private school then this wouldn't be a question because he would have already played 4 years.
