it just appeared on my timeline.
I was just thinking about this too. Glad I'm not the only one.
I’m not sure why this issue has caused so much confusion. College athletes get 4 years of eligibility. Last year didn’t count towards those 4 years. Whether an athlete played last season (Dorka at tOSU), decided not to play (Maya Dodson at Stanford) or had the decision made for them by their school/conference (Abby Meyers at Princeton), an athlete still only gets 4 years of eligibility, not including last season, which doesn’t count for anyone.
Im still confused even after your explanation. So those super seniors last year were playing in their 5th year and effectively had 5 years of eligibility. Were the super seniors a one time thing for 2021-2022 or will the super seniors be around for 3 more years? I agree it is the HS recruits over the next few years who are being most negatively impacted by the extra COVID year being granted.
Super seniors will be around for 3 more years.
OK, let me go over it again:
What it means is that Abby will have 1 year of eligibility remaining not 2.
i definitely agree with you when it comes to high school students for the next few years. But I still feel the same as it pertains the Ivy League athletes, I understand the situation and I understand the NCAA reasoning, but where I differ with you is where the students get screwed by the decisions of their conference.
There is something very subtle to what Courtney is upset about. There was a lot of uncertainty when the NCAA decided on the extra year of eligibility. One of the provisions of that NCAA announcement is that schools COULD NOT withdraw athletic scholarship for players who decided to opt out because of COVID.
Wasnt she a top 3 recruit in literally last years class?? Guess it’s hard trying to get top talent to stay all 4 years.
I remember hearing her on media day with dreams of being freshman of the year. She did get some minutes in the tournament but I get it.
Maybe she's headed home to North Carolina.
Not all that surprising. I noticed her body language at times was less than enthusiastic in moments when her teammates were jovial. I’m sure playing time was a big factor. It’s unfortunate but this moves up Talaysia Cooper‘s role at SC and she has all the abilities that Saniya has, and gives more time at the point for Kierra Fletcher. Also, likely increases Breezy Hall’s role as she was the breakout player of the three healthy players of the ‘21 class. Wish Saniya all the best wherever she goes.
Go get her UConn!!
Come on Mdoggie. Don't you remember she was adamant about not wanting to play for UConn when she was in high school? It would surprise me if she has changed her mind.
She said she wants to beat Uconn. Not play with them.
She also said she “was” committed to SC.
If she’s not happy playing 12 mins. for Dawn she sure isn’t going to be patient learning Geno’s system.
Which these recruits do often nowadays. Mind changing.
I wonder if her 3 game tournament suspension by Dawn had anything to do with her decision?
I said this in the game chat room during the tournament. I thought I had read it somewhere prior to then, but maybe I was just seeing into the future?
Anyone know how this works? Does the player then reach out to the teams in which she is interested?
