Pretty standard anymore that a player will likely get granted a waiver when there's a coaching change, particularly when the change resulted from an abusive or scandalous culture within the program, as is the case here. I believe Gordon and Carr will both be eligible to play the '20-'21 season, if there is one.
I don’t believe that will happen. Lawson wants to compete for NCs against Oregon, UConn, Baylor etc. And that level of talent is what she’ll be looking for. There are plenty of freshmen to develop who already have Gordon’s ability coming in that Lawson can fill out her roster with while working to get the elite type kids.
This is consistent with other patterns where abusive coaches selective victimize certain players and leave others with good experiences. This was the case at Boston University, Illinois (Morgan Tuck's sister Taylor) was involved & Georgia Tech, Duke & Nebraska.
Yeah, I choked on that comment.
One year at Duke and she is then a Duke graduate?..Wow! It took me 4....wish I had known..
Wow. Worthy of a Comanche worrier response.
Yea, Dokey, It's like someone serving you sauerkraut and chicken.
Will retrack the comment but resubmit as Tx Tech having some of the best engineering, math, technology programs in the US. If you have any Texas based friends, ask them how it compares to UConn.
There wasn't document abuse at TN. But there was at Georgia Tech which allowed Dixon and Balogun to be immediately eligible at Louisville.
You saw the title of the thread, read the posts, and posted a reply. So, seems like you cared enough to bother doing all that when you had the option to move along.
Has that ever happened? A player leaves, goes somewhere else, then transfers back to his or her original program? With all of the transfers that go on, I'm surprised it has never happened. It happens in pro sports.
Yes, Stephanie Watts for one, a month and a half ago.
Watts returning to Tar Heels as grad transfer
North Carolina's women's basketball team announced Monday that guard Stephanie Watts is rejoining the Tar Heels as a grad transfer from USC after being granted a sixth year of eligibility.www.espn.com
Part of me agrees with you Southie but another part says that, yes, if I have a job and don't like my boss I can quit anytime I want. However, when I apply for my next job and they ask me my reason for leaving the prior one if my answer is "I didn't like my boss.", I sorta think the interview is over.
I don't see the comparison as being applicable. Being in the job world for most of us spans about 40-50 years. College eligibility is a 5 year span in order to play 4 seasons (at most). All coaches will know she spent 1.5 years at UConn, and 1.5 years at Texas Tech. She has no history of being a "problem" player; so, her resume' is not tarnished by any means.
