I'm actually not sure what the rule is or how it will be implement but there are a ton of players in the portal that will test the rule Mimi Collins, Zaya Green, Koi Love, Edwards from Kentucky.
I also keep forgetting the rule applies to an athlete's first time transferring. Like you've noted, all of these players have transferred once already, if not more. The only exception with respect to being eligible to play right away is Collins I think. I believe she's a grad transfer from what I've read.
I read that Collins had to sit one season after transferring from Tennessee to Maryland; so, in that case, she has not yet received any kind of immediate eligibility exception in the past. So, regardless if she is an undegrad or grad transfer this time around, she will be immediately eligible at her new school.
Lauren Ebo's waiver request prior to the 2020-21 season at Texas was denied; one of only a handful who were denied. But, when the blanket waiver took effect in mid-December 2020, she was able to play; obviously, she missed a lot of non-conference games before that ruling. That also happened with Alexis Morris and Zaay Greeen at Texas A&M. Morris then transferred to LSU and was eligible right away; believe she had to submit a waiver. I believe Ebo will be grad-transferring, so while she'll have to submit a waiver request for immediate eligibility, I'm confident it will be approved.
Hearing its NC State for Collins
Any idea why Ebo is leaving? She seemed to be one of the consistent pieces with Texas last season.
Ebo planned to come to MSU when Vic was there but when he left she wound up at TX. Interesting that she is leaving.
Not a clue.
She has great size and plays to her strengths and within her limits. Those are rare for a post player.
Could it be that Taylor Jones is transferring in to Texas? No information, just guessing
Don't think that's related. I've seen Taylor following the head coaches at Arizona, Maryland, and Oklahoma on Instagram.
Rootin' for Oklahoma to land her out of those.
That's the one I'm rooting against!
Question - who is the post position coach for Duke? Was it Cunningham or someone else?
Could it be related to the Texas assistant coaches that are leaving?
Really would be. Tough player. Very tough.
Yes that is her. Odd that she is leaving Texas. I am not sold on her offensive game and personally I think she flops too much. She would be a peripheral piece on any Top 25 team and was most suited to Vic’s style. Curious If she looks at Duke as a former teammate is there.
Don't start sounding like that Coach Jumper character I've seen posts about
It's called the Q-Collar and from what I've read it's supposed to help manage blood flow. Apparently, it increases the blood flow in the brain area to help prevent it from moving as much. I've seen it more for hockey and football. Warren is the only basketball player I know who has worn it.
Mmm does she though?
