It's not looking good for Justin Coleman at Louisville

PrintThe increasingly slim hopes that Huntington Prep (WV) swingman Justin Coleman will be suiting up as a Louisville Cardinal this season may be on the verge of evaporating completely.
The fourth-best small forward in the class of 2010, according to Scout.com, currently has the following up as his status on Facebook.
"Bout 2 go get a quick work out n at da skool i wnt good enough 2 play at Louisa lol smh"
This is sort of a Lassie situation in that I'm not entirely sure exactly what's being said, but the fact that it's bad news is still coming across.
Coleman had been waiting on some test scores, but the roster addition of Roburt Sallie and Pitino's comments on Monday would seem to indicate that a disappointing official word will be given soon.
It's a blow to U of L for both this season and for the couple after it, because Coleman has the potential to be tremendous.
Insert Calipari joke here.

his future?
can he sit out the fall semester, work on those grades, and be eligible for the spring? can he sit out a year and get his grades up at juco and transfer?
what are his options if he doesn’t qualify?

I have no idea what that means.
Translation, anyone?

"louisa" might be short for Louisville (although badly spelled).
in which case “good enough” would apparently refer to those test scores.
Translation:
I’m about to get a quick work out in at the school which I wasn’t good enough to play at (i.e. Louisviile). (laughing out loud at the misfortune and shaking my head at how dumb this situation is.)
Lawrence County High School
Is in Louisa, Ky, about 45 mins south of Huntington. Could that be what he meant?
i'll buy this
This is the best translation. I like it. Means there is still hope.

Also, Louisa County VA is near his home town of Richmond
I think he meant Louisville and the A is a typo.
My future step-father-in-law was Principal there a couple of years ago
I’ll have to ask him to be sure, but I think you’re onto something.
i think we are fine
im not saying this is good news but my translation doesnt change the situation at all. i think he is bringing up some old high school rivalry with louisa or lawrence co. hopefully this is correct.

couldn't wnt
be wasn’t? I’m sure he could still be working on scores? Seriously, it’s time for CC to hire a full-time Twitter/Facebook translator.
On second thought, if this is how he writes, it’s no wonder that he is border-line eligible

If I'm not mistaken
Louisa is the school Coleman went to before he transferred to Huntingdon Prep. i think he may have had some academic issues there before he transferred.
He'll be eligible.
No question about it. Derek Rose is going to take the ACT for him and Bledsoe’s high school is going to handle the transcripts.
After a quick google search
I found that he did go to Louisa High School, played as a freshman, academically ineligible as a sophomore, left his junior year, came back as a senior but transfer rules didn’t let him play so he went to Huntington. He was probably saying that he was going for a workout at the school he wasn’t good enough to play at, Louisa High School. All hope is not yet lost.

You are correct sir
Google is an amazing tool…actually its really not, just a serch engine. You would have thought Mr. Rutherford would have done that as well, but I guess not.
Besides, he said he’s ‘not good enough to play at Louisa’, and we all know he’s good enough to play at Louisville, will he be eligable is the question…
According to my BA in English from UofL...
Seriously though. I googled SMH and I found that either he meant to type SMDH (Suck My Dick Haters) and just left out the “D” -OR- it could also mean “Shaking My Head” which would make perfect sense. So long as this illiterate dumbass is academically eligible (as long as he can put the ball in the hole and doesn’t get arrested), I don’t think we have anything to worry about just yet.
Are you serious?
“So long as this illiterate dumbass is academically eligible (as long as he can put the ball in the hole and doesn’t get arrested)…”
Too bad the BA in English didn’t fix that fact that you belittle Cardinal recruits.
