Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 3558834, member: 10"] 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. [B][U]From the April 16 article in the Hartford Courant after Martin signed.[/U][/B] [I]If the rules are not changed, Martin could apply for a waiver to play right away. R.J. Cole, who transferred from Howard last year, did sit out the 2019-20 season. “It wasn’t something we discussed with [Martin],” Hurley said. “Sitting out a year made a lot of sense for R.J. Cole. He wanted the year to use resources UConn has. That’s not where Tyrese’s mindset is at.”[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-men-tyrese-martin-transfer-20200417-20200416-g5p5xga5zzevnewcsxmg6t4cue-story.html[/URL] [B][U]From the New Haven Register article of April 16.[/U][/B] [I]Martin’s playing status with UConn for the 2020-21 season will depend on the upcoming NCAA decision regarding immediate eligibility for transfers, which is expected in late-May, or obtaining a waiver to receive immediate eligibility. Both Hurley and Martin have said they haven’t thought much about whether Martin would apply for a waiver. R.J. Cole, who transferred to UConn last year after spending his first two seasons at Howard University, did not apply for a waiver. But it sounds like Martin is a different story. “It’s probably a different situation than with R.J.,” Hurley noted. “With the way our roster was shaped last year, it made a lot of sense for R.J. (to sit out). He wanted the year to use the resources that UConn has to really make improvements physically before he stepped out there. Whereas I think that’s probably not where Tyrese’s mindset is at.”[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nhregister.com/uconn/article/URI-transfer-Tyrese-Martin-is-now-officially-a-15205429.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
