NCAA grants transfer guard Dara Mabrey immediate eligibility at Notre Dame

Color of the stamp is enough. Allows for plausible deniability

 

[Biff]

I was thinking along these lines...

 

[Orangutan]

Do not see her moving the needle much. Luke warm sophomore season at VTech

She is probably better than ND's other options at point guard and she adds much-needed 3-point shooting.

I doubt she would have got much run back when the Irish were a perennial Final Four team. But now...she does improve the squad in a meaningful way.

Not a star or anything but her availability will be an asset for ND.

She may help ND have a winning record, but I don't see them winning the ACC again this year.

Agreed. Still a year away (at least) from thinking about winning the ACC. I will settle for being mediocre this year instead of just bad.

I think the situation at ND is temporary. I expect Ivie to return the Irish to prominence in 2 years. She’ll have no trouble getting top rated recruits to play for her.

Enid Strict is on the board.

I wonder what Paige thinks about this . . .

Disgusted, but not surprised.

 

[Blue Ghost]

Just curious of everyone thoughts about this.

Of course. Why is that not a surprise. It's ND.

Honestly though, while I know that Notre Dame has had a history of getting transfers approved, this year is going to be an exception to the rule for transfers everywhere given the pandemic. The NCAA thus far has been very liberal in granting extra years or immediate eligibility waivers this season. While I know that we all love to gripe about Notre Dame, this year really doesn't fit into a pattern or anything.

The point is that the NCAA treats every transfer request from Notre Dame as if every year they are suffering through a pandemic.

in fairness, last year ND played like they were suffering through a pandemic.

Isn't that what Huskies are supposed to be?

Disgusting... A certain Uconn player should have sued the NCAA (with the financial backing of the University of Connecticut)

I won't mention any names.

"Here is your Mabrey sir". "Oh. Thank you very much"...

I thought the quote was “Thank you Sir, May I have another Mabrey?” Fortunately this is the last one so the response is “say three Hail Mabrey’s and one act of contrition to the UConn faithful”...

 

[DefenseBB]

Far be it for me to throw cold water on a good conspiracy but before this board turns in VolNation New England style with all the vitriol, let’s remember that the NCAA is headed towards no waiting for eligibility and given the current pandemic allowing as many waivers as possible is preferable. I do wish they would rationalize their denials as they are showing significant gaps in logic. As far as this last Mabrey and her waiver to play for ND, let’s not confuse her with a top 5, 10, 20 player and was not even on the Hoopgurlz Top 100. Our fine colleague @Orangutan notes Mabrey does fill a gap for this team which, while talented still is a bit shy of true elite status while it determines their coaching and new path.

Many of us on the BY rue the day ND got their first Mabrey. But the reality is, as I tried to slyly say in my blurb, we'd gladly take a talented Mabrey on UConn. Not this one though. Sorry.

 

[triaddukefan]

What a joke. ND trying to steal another championship. Most people feel their last championship was tainted for the same reason.

Getting this Mabrey a year early aint gonna help ND get any championship.. not a ACC Championship... or a NCAA Championship. Maybe a State of Indiana Championship if there is one.

 

[chrissaran]

UConn vs UT was what put women's basketball on the map. Haters keep hating.

 

[Zinethar]

Just had a thought. Instead of hating on ND (I know this is hard) for getting all the waivers I think UConn should find out who is writing the requests and hire them the next time UConn needs one

 

[Steelerone]

When the committee flipped the coin it came up heads.
