Media person: It is believed that Zeng Fanbo received an invitation from the NCAA, but the procedures are complicated& there is uncertainty

Hupu News on November 14 According to previous reports, Zeng Fanbo has received multiple NBL offers and substantial favor and clear invitations from multiple NCAA basketball schools.

In this regard, media person Yong Fangfang made a follow-up report and said: I believe that Zeng Fanbo did receive an invitation from the NCAA, but he just wanted to get a real exemption to enter the NCAA. The procedures are complicated and uncertain.

The original text is as follows:

In the past two days, I have seen a well-known media teacher say that Zeng Fanbo has received an invitation from the NCAA, and I have also seen doubts that he is not qualified to enter the NCAA. In fact, on November 1, I said that "Xiao Zeng's idea of ​​continuing to look for opportunities in the United States has not changed." I also heard similar statements, but at that time I was not completely sure that the NCAA was his first choice.

In principle, the NCAA does not accept professional players. Entering the NCAA is equivalent to changing your status to a "student." Therefore, Zeng Fanbo's experience playing in the Development League, participating in the NBA draft, professional experience in the CBA, and experience with the Nets Ex10 contract will all become issues that he needs to explain to obtain admission qualifications.

However, the NCAA is now becoming more open. This year, there was a case of Development League player Thierry Darlan entering college to play. Lin Wei also participated in the NBA draft and also has a CBA resume. He still successfully received an exemption, but his playing qualifications were limited to 3 years. From this point of view, the biggest impact on Xiao Zeng is actually the Ex10 he signed with the Nets. There should be no cases of such players returning to college to play. From my point of view, because there are news coming one after another, I believe that he has indeed received the invitation, but he just wants to actually obtain a waiver to enter the NCAA. This procedure will be more complicated and has certain uncertainties.

I saw that he also received an offer from the Australian NBL. In addition to the United States, he has more opportunities. I am really happy for him. I hope he will eventually find an overseas platform where he can really play games and truly improve himself, and give more feedback to Chinese basketball in the future. I sincerely wish him the best!

I believe that Xiao Zeng has maintained smooth communication with Shougang. After he received many invitations and opportunities, Shougang also implemented Omot's priority to renew the contract and quickly made a reserve of personnel at the third position. Regarding the "third foreign player" that everyone is concerned about, I also said on the 1st that "it will be considered based on the team's tactical needs in the new season, the relative shortcomings of the lineup, and the impact of injuries." It should be that the direction chosen before that has been adjusted to the inside. I am not sure whether it must be the rumored fifth position, but as of now, the big foreign player should be the team's main target.
