Extra year of eligibility question

[HanDurley]

Need clarification on this. Was the extra year of eligibility, which was granted to seniors this year (Polley Whaley Gillespie etc) only granted to this senior class? Or is an extra year awarded to everyone when they become a senior? So when Gaffney, Cole, Jackson become seniors will they be granted an extra year? I’m assuming it stops at this incoming freshman class.

All players from last year's team gets an extra year and everyone starting with the Diggins/Hawkins/Johnson class is back to the standard 4 years

Do 5th year seniors get a 6th year?? If so that would be crazy seeing some guys out there playing college ball for 6 years.

correct however I believe this is the only year where we can exceed the 13 scholarship cap. So if Gaff wants to stay an extra year it eats into the 13 .. which is not the case this year.

Correct, only returning seniors don’t count against the limit.

Pretty cool. My son gets an extra year to run to. So did 3 years undergrad and gets both years of grad school.
