November 25th would be great to have some Turkey hoops.
The rapid testing that has been recently approved feels like a game changer in these decisions. If you can have test results in under an hour without involving a laboratory, it becomes significantly easier to travel and play games. A step in the right direction for having a season.
Yeah, the advances in testing both in terms of speed, cost and level of effort all seem to be huge for college basketball’s feasibility.
Can we take a guess as to the merit of this waiver request? Is it simply due to a coaching change ( Beilein to Howard) and Michigan probably supporting the waiver? I know it is a bad idea to look for logic with the NCAA but I’m genuinely curious. Also, I will be insanely enraged if these guys (Castleton and DeJulius) get waivers and Chaundee Brown gets denied
I would have to assume Bajema gets his waiver approved too, right? Same apparent case
Colin moved closer to home. Same for Bajema. Those should be slam dunk approvals. DDJ already got approved and he didn’t move closer to home.
Has anyone’s waiver been rejected? I haven’t heard any news of rejected waivers
I forgot the proximity piece, thank you. I have yet to hear of a big transfer not getting a waiver this year. The DeJulius approval gives me hope Brown’s will go through. Coaching change as the big factor. Although, Chaundee was transferring before the official change took place…
Cade Mays in football. He’s a former 5* recruit from Knoxville who transferred back to his home town from UGA. He transferred in January and had his waiver request denied ten days ago.
That’s wild. Goes to show sometimes there appears to be no rhyme or reason for the NCAA decisions. Waivers are so inconsistently applied.
You can’t spell arbitrary without NCAA…or something like that.
Mays made the fatal mistake of saying something negative about UGA on his way out.
How much does the current staff play into this? I thought I’ve heard Cal always pushes for his players to get waivers, does the success for DDJ and Castleton have any help from Juwan?
This seems like a really minor tweak
Well here’s one who didn’t get a waiver
