Transferring after a redshirt year

[temery]

Does a player have to sit a year if s/he transfers immediately after a red shirt year?

How tall are you? We could use some bigs.

5' 10", but I used all four years of eligibility.

Do you think TSam may want to come back?

As far as I know, they're treated exactly like any other transfer; they have to sit a year unless they just graduated and are entering a new graduate program.

If you guys remember Luke Recker his Indiana to Arizona to Iowa transfer saga in the early 2000s only cost him 1 year of red shirting total. I'm not sure if that's how it always works or if he was an exception.

Transfers are not on scholarship the year they sit out so I doubt the NCAA can force them to sit out another year if they want to transfer.

Transfers ARE on scholarship the year that they sit out.

They can be on scholarship at the new school from day 1, as long as they are academically eligible, and their previous school has granted their release.

There's situations all the time where coaches or AD's don't let the kid out of their scholarship, if they don't want a kid to go to a certain school, or are just being petty. In that case, the kid can still transfer, but he has to pay his own way for a year, after which he can receive a scholarship from the new school free and clear.
