Posting this simply as an example of the rumored increased denials of double transfers this off-season. Liberal last year, I’d expect more waivers denied.

I saw this article earlier this week. It's specifically about football but it pertains to basketball also. With the one time transfer rules now the NCAA says they will be much less lenient granting immediate eligibility with 2nd time transfers.

The Division I council announced on Jan. 11 — note, well after the December portal window opened — that it'd crack down multi-time undergraduate transfers who were seeking waivers.

Before, players could apply for several reasons, including things like lack of playing time. But the NCAA's new guidelines for multi-time transfers allow for waivers in only two circumstances:

1. A physical injury or mental health condition that led to a transfer.

2. Outside circumstances, such as physical assault, that clearly necessitate a departure.

The NCAA's waiver denial of ACC standouts is an ominous sign for others in college football's transfer limbo

The NCAA may lack the power to guide the big-picture decisions that shape the sport, but it certainly still has the power to impact a player's eligibility for an upcoming season.

Don't think Akok would come back to UConn but I'd welcome him with open arms. A starting frontcourt of Karaban/Clingan and backup unit of Akok/Samson would be nasty. Such a likeable player, wish him the best no matter what

What happens if your waiver is denied and your original school doesn’t have a scholarship for you?

No use getting worked up about Akok, you only transfer this late in the summer with a destination picked
 
Kind of funny that Cooley never got to coach Akok and only had a season with Corey given how long his extended recruitment of them was.

And yes, the NCAA does seem to be holding firm on the no immediate waiver for a second transfer. English lucked out in being able to retain guys like Floyd and Hopkins in that way. Jalen had an amazing experience last season, but things have been a bit rougher for the rest of that transfer group.

I wish Akok well. But I want to invest in our young forwards and Samson. He needs to go somewhere with minutes available anyways.

You just sit out a year like you used to at the new school

Big East is going to be beastly this season. You're looking at 6, possibly even 7 teams who could be top 25.

yes it is, maybe 8 teams. Here's the list in no particular order.

1) UConn
2) Villanova
3) Creighton
4) Marquette
5) Providence
6) St. John's
7) Xavier
8) Georgetown

Georgetown and St. John's will have an adjustment period, but if Cooley and Pitino do the right things and work their systems in smoothly looking at the long term bigger picture instead short term, I think these 2 teams could be in the Top 25 or close to it by mid February.

DePaul and Butler won't do much, even though I love Posh Alexander. Seton Hall will be a pest considering Hollaway's tough in-your-face defense he demands.

Georgetown is gonna be really bad, they're far closer to DePaul and Butler than any of the top teams listed. Cooley is fine as a coach but he has no talent on that roster

Yeah, I agree. Potential in the future, but their backcourt is very young.

DePaul grabbed Mac Etienne, he did a prep year at a small school I used to work at in CT.. the coach SWEARS he’s a good kid, just made a mistake..

Suffield Academy? He was highly ranked coming out of high school and UConn was in the mix at one point.

DePaul, where players go to suck.

I know chaos currently reigns and there are no rules, but leaving your team in August is quite the move.

Cooley's timing around talking with Georgetown and leaving PC for a conference rival raised some eyebrows.
 
NJHoops said:
Yes? I welcome anything that both makes Cooley look bad and upsets Providence fans.

He had to wait until he graduated to be able to transfer without sitting out.
