Oso planning to go pro
FWIW, apparently Derosiers backing out at Wake. We were in his last 3.http://www.boston.com/sports/schools/basketball/articles/2010/04/09/desrosiers_back_in_play/
Thats not what the article says. His father says in the article that they are just waiting to see what happens on the basketball end at Wake.
"Desrosiers, who chose the Deacons over Arizona State and Marquette when he committed last fall, can only field calls from coaches affiliated with Wake Forest.I'm pretty sure that means we were in his final three.
My guess is he sticks with Wake, He really likes the ACC and felt that was the best conference for his skills. I'm not sure if Wake would release him to other ACC schools?
The ACC has rules that make it unlikely. If he were to decide to go to another ACC school, because he's already signed an LOI, he'd have to sit out a year before playing and he'd lose a year of eligibility. One more thing, because it's just a pet peeve of mine. If Wake Forest releases him, they don't have the ability to limit the schools that he is released to, because there's no such thing as a restricted release. By NCAA rule either you get your full release and can attend any school you want, or you aren't released. The school cannot pick and choose who they release you to if you have only signed your LOI. It's on the form that both the player and the school have to fill out in those situations....two options, complete release or no release.
Just to be clear, the NCAA has no rule that says where a released player can and can't go, but the ACC does not allow released players to go to a different ACC school?
related note: How is the oregon job being talked about left and right, while this job is getting no mention. Wake Forest is definitly in the top 15 most desireable college bball coaching jobs. If i were brad Stevens, I would have given this one a second look before i signed that contract extension.
The ACC allows released players to go to a different school, but there is a penalty for doing so. If you sign an LOI with an ACC school, then are released and go to another ACC school, you have to sit out a year and you lose a year of eligibility.
When we released Maymon, wasn't there a clause prohibiting him from transferring to Wisconsin?
