Rothstein may actually prove to be an idiot

Wow this is a major rebuke of Rothstein. Martin immediately eligible!?

Wonder if that’d change anything for Nolley. Probably not. But May 20th is a while from now. Idk if we can wait that long on anyone

Makes you think just maybe Hurley knows what he's doing, huh?

I'm all for locking things up earlier but who exactly are we taking before then?

Idk things change daily. Someone could shake loose tomorrow. Idk when Sanogo plans on deciding. A month just seems like a really long time to still not have that last scholly filled, when we need one more impact player

Welp, my opinion on Martin could be about to change real quick...he could fill in a big need at the 3/4 this year.

Yeah I mean we could always reach out to someone new, but right now it's Nolley and Sanogo/Etienne who would both be reclasses. I could be way off but wouldn't expect anything on a reclass and if they can graduate before May of their junior year, especially when schools have no idea what's happening with all this Covid stuff and credits

Nah man my friend who watched some URI games knows he's clearly full of it

 

[UconnU]

Wait... he’s a baseball guy. We sure he isn’t talking about spring sports only?

I believe Sanogo willl commit before he reclassifies. If he’s doing his visits now, I don’t think he’ll wait another month and a half to commit. But as you said it’s moot because we may take Sanogo over Nolley regardless of timing

bassball and basketball have the same transfer rules so this would also apply to basketball. Apparently Hurley knows something we didn’t. This means we just one quality player. Don’t need Sanago. Tyrese fills a lot of needs. Being in great shape with Nolley helps a lot.

We absolutely need Sanogo, unless you trust Josh Carlton...My faith in Carlton has diminished greatly.

I trust Carlton will have a good season. I really do. And with Springs/ Whaley being good rebounders and inside players I’m ok with it.

Yeah at that point it's moot, any of those 3 want to commit we take them without a second thought. It's if a lesser player that wants to when it becomes tough and right now we're not involved with any

His follow up tweet makes me think this is a baseball only rule. The NCAA granted the extra year for spring athletes, it makes sense that they’d allow guys to transfer without penalty if some schools won’t honor their schollies for the next season. Would this still apply to basketball?

Why wouldn’t it? What would be the point?

If passed it would apply to ALL sports - not just baseball. He is a baseball writer so naturally his focus would lean towards baseball.

I hope you all are right. The NCAA is just so damn inconsistent in what they do. They certainly govern sports like baseball much differently than football/basketball. It’d certainly be a game changer if this went through.

From yesterday:

>No decision has been made regarding whether a one-time transfer waiver in which student-athletes in all sports could transfer and play immediately will go into effect for this coming season.

MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher, the chairman of the working group that came up with the proposal, told Stadium the he will send a report to the Division 1 Council on April 24, and that a vote will be held at the council’s next meeting — which he’s hopeful will be sometime in May.<

Rothstein may actually prove to be an idiot

I expect apologies from all of you

 

[JustbrewitMan]

What the heck else are these council member doofuses doing that they couldn’t have a 1st meeting within the next few days and vote on it within a week? I’m sure that their schedules are no busier and most likely more flexible.

If it’s likely to pass based on insider word of mouth, just get off your collective duffs, set up a Zoom meeting and do something productive to help the student athletes and college coaches! FFS NCAA is such a clown show.

It's pretty obvious they don't live in a real time world. They're probably going on recess or spring break after April 24. Hasta La Vista Baby!!

Waiting a year to enact the rule when we are in the middle of a global pandemic never made any sense.
