Has anyone heard about De'Janae in the past month or so? Has she chosen another school? Is she sitting out the semester?
The semester has begun or is about to begin at most schools. I too expect some info soon.As you likely know, if she sits out the semester without enrolling in a new school, then she will not be able to play at all next year. Her next season would be the 2017-18 one, but she would then be able to play three full years. I'd expect to see info shortly that she has enrolled somewhere.

She didn't play the regular season or preseason so shouldn't she have 4 years ?
She can apply and might well be granted a sixth year.A player has 5 years to use her 4 years of eligibility. Her first year is this year/season (2015/2016). A player must be in residence at a new school for one year after transfer. If she is not enrolled for the second semester of this school year (spring semester), then 2016/2017 is a year she must sit out for that year of residency in that new school. That is year 2 of the 5 years she has. After that she has 3 years to play out of the 5.
Yes, there is that possibility. My explanation was just to clarify and explain why stamforhusky stated that, by the rules, she will have at most three years of play. How and when the NCAA may choose to provide exceptions to those rules and grant a sixth year are not clear.She can apply and might well be granted a sixth year.
My biggest regret has been that she left before I could learn what the apostrophe in her name stood for.
Michala Johnson is a good example of a player who was granted a 6th year.
Well, one of Johnson's seasons was lost to a voluntary transfer, and transferring mid-season is certainly not an easy proposition for anyone - most students choose to transfer to a new school at the beginning of the school year even if they have left their first school at the end of the first semester. And we really don't know the seriousness of Boykin's injury - she was able to participate in some practices, but was never able to suit up for a game.Yes, there are players who have been granted a 6th year. However Johnson had a much better case than Boykin will have, since one of her years was lost to a season-ending knee injury. In Boykin's case, if she ends up sitting for her first two seasons, it will not be due to any season-ending injury - and the second year will be voluntary, since she could transfer now and be playing again by mid-December next year. I would bet against her getting a 6th year in that scenario.

She didn't meet the standards the program sets. Sometimes a fresh start is needed. Good luck to her.What was her beef against us?
It is certainly not sibling proximity.
Perhaps one of the players would enlighten us when her playing career is over.
Good news - PSU is developing a pipeline to Uconn!
Sez who? Can you provide a link or back-up?She didn't meet the standards the program sets. Sometimes a fresh start is needed. Good luck to her.
