Collins would be punching a bit above his weight, but maybe he has a chance if he kills it in the interview.
LOL, yeah Paul was just a bit of an oversight too. Only the second best player to ever play there behind Duncan. Do you remember who Chris Paul lost to in the 2005 NCAA tourney?
Haha someone mentioned Paul, Duncan and Randolph Childress previously so I didn’t mention them again, but yeah CP3 was upset by West Virginia as a 2 seed in the tourney.
Are you thinking that Beilein would replace him?
That was an incredible game
Rogers was a great player! He and Duncan never played together though, and I was responding to the notion that Duncan’s Wake teams were forgettable. For many I suppose they were, but I remember them well.
Never fails. Every time I see or hear the name Randolph Childress, I have to go find one of my favorite highlights. https://youtu.be/sRJMsoIptQo
I literally looked up the same highlight an hour ago!!!
Same. Even though it was a HUGE carry lol
The Red Raiders are as loaded as anyone in the country on the perimeter, and with Ntambwe and Santos-Silva coming in for the frontcourt, this team will be a beast. I would expect them to win the Big 12.
Appears only way Michigan can add an immediate impact player for next year will be either a Grad transfer, a player applying for a waiver or a 2021 reclass.
This last line in the NCAA press release has me
Board members recommended the waiver process be sensitive to student-athlete well-being, especially those impacted by COVID-19 in the interim period.
“Not appropriate at this time”???
Here’s the full statement:
The groups also received an update from the Transfer Waiver Working Group. That group, appointed by the board last fall, was charged with studying potential changes to the waiver process. Waiver guidelines can be changed at any time, and that group has recommended that waiver guidelines allow the opportunity for a one-time transfer waiver for student-athletes in the five sports not legislatively allowed to transfer and compete immediately: men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s ice hockey and football. The waiver criteria would mirror the legislative opportunity for student-athletes in other sports. The Division I Council could vote on the guideline changes as early as its May meeting.
The waiver working group also recommended the board lift the moratorium on transfer legislation to allow the membership to consider proposals that could provide permanent access to the one-time transfer opportunity for all Division I student-athletes.
The board agreed to lift the moratorium on transfer legislation for the 2020-21 legislative cycle but recommended to the Council that changes to the waiver process as suggested by the working group are not appropriate at this time. Board members recommended the waiver process be sensitive to student-athlete well-being, especially those impacted by COVID-19 in the interim period.
So all transfer requests are going to now be COVID related, I assume?
Steinbrecher also said that the NCAA is well aware that this decision will result in an influx of waivers that will need to be handled. The first will be related to the coronavirus and players utilizing the current climate to become eligible, and another is players being informed by coaches that the one-time transfer waiver was going to go through, and deciding to enter the transfer portal with that in mind.
The NCAA just can’t stop sitting on their own balls. Now is the MOST appropriate time to allow the one time transfers. Why would they want to sift through hundreds of waiver claims based on Covid? So continually stupid.
