NCAA denies South Carolina's Littleton waiver. Does this give any clue to Westbrook?

[CTtoSanDiego]

I hope this denial does not portend bad things for Evina's waiver. She had a coaching change and other factors. Texas did not change coaches... I'm not sure what SC's request was based on. This definitely hurts So Carolina.

NCAA denies South Carolina's women's basketball waiver request for Texas transfer Destiny Littleton

Evina's situation was different. We can see that. Hopefully, the NCAA can as well.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

TOTALLY different.

See Littleton is from California and was attending school in Texas before transferring to South Carolina.

And Westbrook is from Oregon, and was attending school in Tennessee, before transferring to Connecticut.

Anyone can see that.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

I want Westbrook's UConn career to start this season, but I don't see how the coaching change in Tennessee works in her favor since she was notoriously unhappy with the coaching situation prior to the change.

Anastasia Hayes was dismissed from UT, and was granted a waiver to play at MTSU.

None of which suggests that Evina either will or will not be granted a waiver.

Anastasia sat out the 2018-2019 season.

I'm glad the long standing precedent of allowing players who were dismissed from Tennessee and sat out a whole season to get waivers to play immediately is being upheld yet again.

I was worried that there might be some inconsistency.

Considering one was dismissed from the university, not the coach, for fighting, that shouldn't be a surprise. What message would the NCAA be sending if they let players dismissed due to disciplinary actions get a waiver? Both TN players, the coach didn't want dismissed. It was at the AD level.

To answer the thread's title: No.

Littleton left a good situation at Texas and seems like she just really wanted more play time. Westbrook left a bad situation at Tennessee dealing with coaching change and fans treating her and family (mother) like crap on social media and like Westbrook said after her final game last season there are on and off the court issues at Tennessee (that was proven when Holly got fired). I know her and Mimi Collins from Maryland will get approved and the entire WBB community will be so jealous.

Hate to burst your bubble, but MD already announced that Mimi Collins will redshirt this season.

Thank goodness Hayes wasn't "dismissed from the team for disciplinary reasons" then.

I would like to read some of the comments from the TN chat room should her waiver be granted.

A lot of us hope she does. No animosity towards her at all. Just hope she is 0-10 from the floor when she plays TN! I kid, I kid...kinda.

 

[futuretitles]

Beg to differ. A lot of TN fans I read both on VN and their FB group (which has far above and beyond more info) want the waiver to be denied ‍♂️

Well, I haven’t like counted specifically or anything, but my comment was to say we’re not all hoping she doesn’t get it. Doesn’t really matter what we think tho.

Cooper sat a year and then transferred. Hayes transferred first and then sat a year. Different situations.

Apparently Destiny Littleton "also is dealing with an injury that will prevent her from practicing," and will have minor ankle surgery. Sounds to me like the waiver denial would be no biggie given this circumstance, but Dawn says she thinks Destiny is "probably... very devastated."

Also from Dawn: "She’s got a past that if she shares with any of you guys, and she may, I thought it was enough to allow her to play."

Waiver was previously denied, they appealed, and just found out the appeal was also denied.

Let's face it this thread has nothing to do with Evina getting a waiver...or Littleton not getting one or, Hayes or, anyone else...This thread, plain and simple is about Sheppard getting one and the optics that seem to suggest special treatment for the Irish.

Huh? I dislike MM more than most, but this thread is not about Sheppard and you need to do some research to understand the situation at Nebraska the year before she left before you say more less than intelligent drivel.

 

[Golden Husky]

What a deliciously sardonic take.

I love dawn more than most but... this is not a good luck! For the second time after having a waiver request denied she as implied that other schools are "lying" in their applications to the NCAA.

“I handled it that way, because when we’re asking the NCAA to approve someone for a waiver, we tell the truth."

Dawn, candidly you are better than this!
