Tyrese Martin Waiver Approved!

In past cases, where waivers were denied, former schools were not as supportive of the application.

Known as the "Martelli Rule". That's another thing JC didn't get enough credit for, if you wanted to go he would help you find a new spot. None of that vindictive crap.

Yeah but mostly because the reason for transfer was they weren't good enough to play meanful minutes for the GCOAT

Thought this was probably the case. Thanks URI!

The NCAA’s decision to grant a waiver allowing Tyrese Martin, transfer from Rhode Island, to play without sitting a year at UConn was based in part on URI’s support. In past cases, where waivers were denied, former schools were not as supportive of the application.

Though still far from clear, the outline of a UConn men’s basketball schedule for 2020-21 is becoming visible. It could include games, without fans, at Gampel Pavilion starting Nov. 25, the d…

• Class of 2022 players on UConn’s list of targets include Cam Whitmore, a 6-foot-6 forward from Maryland; Justice Williams, a 6-3 guard from Philly who had a Zoom call with UConn coaches this week, according to Adam Zagoria; Avery Brown, a 6-3 guard from Beacon Falls; and Kyle Cuffe Jr., a 6-1 guard from New Jersey.

Dan Hurley was very supportive of David Cox getting the URi head coaching job after he left

It's not usually a zero sum game.

And vice versa. Do bad to people and bad things will come back to you.

If a kid is already declaring he's moving on to somewhere else, it would look weird to slow the process of how long until that kid can play for the new school.
