Cam back?

That was Perry Ellis and Chris Thomas.

Perry Ellis played forever... Wow, forgot about him.

Talk about Age questions:

Myth or Real??-
In the olden days(30's, 40's??) Bucknell would bring coal miners from the surrounding mining companies on campus Friday night, play a game on Saturday, "liquor 'em up" on Sat night and send them home on Sunday

Extra credit_They did play in the first orange Bowl. Opponent was who??

Funny you bring that up. I have a friend who played for Bucknell but pretty sure he wasn’t a coal miner and didn’t play until the 70s, but he is big and he might have been liquored up

Huge missed opportunity to come back with “My name’s not Pal….it’s Buddy”. #cocktail

My roommate for one year in college was a 25 year-old soccer player from Trinidad and I think he had a few years of eligibility too. It was pretty routine, at least in soccer, for foreign players in their mid-20s to be playing there.

 

[Huskyforlife]

To be fair to Steven, pretty sure that kid is terrible for our fanbase.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Think Krauser is still playing for Pitt, no?

No, but I heard they're thinking about offering a scholarship to his grandson.

His grandson is out of eligibility

Perry Ellis played forever... Wow, forgot about him.

The jokes that year were incredible…. one was something like “In 1907, James Naismith coached his last year at Kansas which was also Perry Ellis’s freshman season.”

 

[bjc42]

The idea behind it is that they are granting kids who want to play an extra year. NBA would grant a waiver to withdraw if he really wanted to based on rules change. idk, theres at least a slim chance. Would Mahaney, spencer, McNeeley, Karaban, Samson even be defensible?

the question is- would spencer even consider coming back again?

 

[IndyLives]

I believe there is still a chance. He can appeal the farce that is the NCAA governing body to play next year. If we get Cam back, we will be unstoppable and get the 3Peat.

Ah the olden days, black lung and alcoholism... The transfer portal really mucked up college sports.

I also just wanna point out, is it ridiculous to have 25 year olds playing college sports? Probably, but multiple schools will do whatever it takes within(and without) the line, and we shouldn’t play “fair” just to stroke our moral ego.

Not that it matters since our roster is complete, but we would’ve been insane to not take Spencer back, had it been an option today. 99% of schools would’ve laughed in your face for suggesting otherwise.

Well technically we still have an open roster spot.

 

[Platt81]

On a technicality did Cam ever declare for the draft or was he just automatically eligible due to his eligibility being up? If you don’t “declare” do you need to withdraw?

 

[Improviser]

Maybe, play Cousy when he was that age?

Here is what Cousy looked like when he was 35 in his last year playing in the video clip. Since Ashworth now sort of looks that age, and maybe a tad like Cousy, and can handle the ball a bit, that is where this comes from. Tongue in cheek of course.

I don’t like it at face value but felt robbed only getting one year of him. IMO The committee is waiving the white flag on the issue kids can pretty much play as long as they want. They keep losing in court.

 

[MrJama100]

Soon they‘ll be playing into their 20s in high school.

Already happening. Start one year late, transfer and stay back a year. There's kid in my town: January birthday, start Kindergarten one year late (common now), transfer to/from a private school and repeat a year.

Most states limit high school sports to <20. Private schools have their own rules.

I had to get a waiver to play as a 20 yr old senior.

 

[boba]

Didn't Krauser, Troutman and Peyton Siva play in college into their 30's? Or was that just my imagination?

they were 33 when they left college, not sure if any graduated.

Yeah, but you were 30 at the time.

I heard they went to work in a coal mine.

Cam is working out for the Pacers on Tuesday. They have picks 36, 50 and 51.

Except the NCAA just won in court on the case that would actually impact Cam coming back. This rule has zero impact on Cam

NCAA, states agree in transfer lawsuit settlement

The NCAA and a coalition of states agreed to settle a lawsuit Thursday that would allow athletes to be immediately eligible to play no matter how many times they transfer.

www.espn.com

Under the agreement, the NCAA would be required to grant an additional year of eligibility to Division I athletes previously deemed ineligible under the transfer eligibility rule since the 2019-20 academic year.

Did Cam ever sit out a year due to transfer?

For what it's worth, I think Cam has moved on. Hopefully he'll get some burn in the NBA. If not, he could have a long, and successful career overseas.

He didn't, he was immediately eligible at both Rutgers and UConn. He's definitely moved on though, I know he wanted to come back at one point but it seems like he's ready to start his pro career at this point

He would be a good fit with them.
