He’ll apply for a waiver. It will be interesting to see how lienient they are awarding them. I think there’s at least some chance they just grant them to everyone because of the virus.So Martin sits a year...
Plan all along.He’s not getting a waiver and he’s sitting the year, as he prefers.
YupI might be out of the loop on this, but can we assume the zoom call with Hurley post wasn’t real?
hypothetical: if season gets canceled does Bouknight come back for 21-22?I think this might actually be good for Martin. He’ll get a year in the system and getting used to the competition then next year when Bouknight is gone, he’ll step in and play >25mpg.

I know Oct/Nov are far away but not feeling the warm and fuzzies....
I agree that he won't get a waiver (nobody who joins UConn ever does), but to say he prefers to sit a year is insane. No player wants to sit a year regardless of lack of minutes.He’s not getting a waiver and he’s sitting the year, as he prefers.
RJ Cole talked about wanting to sit out the year and improve so didn't apply for a waiver. Not crazy to think Martin felt the same way, especially with his comments after committingI agree that he won't get a waiver (nobody who joins UConn ever does), but to say he prefers to sit a year is insane.

RJ Cole preferred to sit a year, and I know people who have talked with Martin. That's what I'm told. He is Hurley's Bouknight replacement. Feel free to disagree.I agree that he won't get a waiver (nobody who joins UConn ever does), but to say he prefers to sit a year is insane.

Martin would be a great asset and bring loads of versatility to next years teamPlus it looks like Polley will be back, (hopefully at full strength), so Martin is not needed. If Polley was going to miss the year, then we would be pissed now that the waiver didn't go thru...
Hurley hinted at something different although it's not definitive and Hurley and Martin both said they didn't discuss the issue in full. So maybe you're right and Martin is fine with sitting out a year.RJ Cole preferred to sit a year, and I know people who have talked with Martin. That's what I'm told.
