Kolek planning to go pro
Duke did mine Liberty for Seth Curry and Rice for Sean Obi. Kentucky currently has a transfer from Bucknell.
Unless they play a bunch of other sports that aren't basketball or football.
So I don't know what's funnier....that Cheeks pulled up a quote from two years ago in support of his position, or that I completely misread Barry Hinson's Wikipedia page.
It's not a penalty. It is in place to help kids get acclimated to their new school. #StudentsFirstStop trying to use these kids for sports only! They are the children of this great country. Let them be educated.PS - Southern Illinois is GREAT. Freshman Wisconsinite Marcus Domask has been tremendous. Next season they add Dawson's D1 MN teammate -- another Wisconsin kid - Dalton Banks.I like the other poster's idea of changing the 5 year rule.. I would be OK with having a 6th year exception for people that lost a year or two because of transfer, so long a the academics are in order. Heck, maybe college bball starts producing MBAs instead of guys who take a couple of grad classes for show.
When the NCAA grants a waiver, it’s due to a review of the student that they are the type of person that doesn’t need a year to be acclimated to the school?
No. We don't get to see the arguments and reasoning. Rules should be followed. Would make it easier to understand.
So, basically in the last decade, you can name two instances of Duke taking a transfer from a smaller program. I can see why there's such panic. The Bucknell kid is a grad transfer.
those are ones that come to mind immediately for Duke, there may be more, I don't care to look right now. We had Rowsey transfer up.
And yet somehow everyone else in the thread somehow managed to simply ignore it and not comment on it for almost 24 hours. Too bad you couldn't find the strength to do the same.
And, JayBee is right about SIU. Bryan Mullins is definitely a name to watch in the future.
Hopefully he levels up in time unlike the last "name to watch" from SIU. Thank god MU avoided Lowery.Also, SIU is "great"? Pretty liberal use of the term for a team that is 140 in the NET and has a largely unremarkable season outside of sneaking past a really tough UNI team at home. The MVC is pretty soft this year. Looks more like the MAC than the WCC or MWC. Even the SoCon is better this year.
Are you really saying there will be no more successful coaches at those levels? There are numerous successful coaches at the D2 and D3 levels now.Regardless, maybe Barry should think of this as an opportunity to recruit more transfers up from the low major level...or recruit those sitting on high major benches with the offer of more playing time. He's been a decidedly mediocre coach who has all of three NIT bids in his 16 years as a coach in the Missiouri Valley. One would think he would welcome a change like this, and try to be a leader and innovator. Because he certainly isn't succeeding in the current system.But my guess is that he will whine and act the victim instead.
have you ever paid back part of your salary to a former employer after you worked there, they trained you and invested time and resources into you, helped develop you and then you left for a better opportunity?And don't use the "but college students aren't employees" excuse. It's the same exact thing.
For the record and for anybody who cares (and I don't know why anybody would), I haven't sent hoopaloop a single PM -- let alone "countless PMs" -- in more than a month.And I haven't interacted with him in a thread in almost 6 weeks.I have, however, had several very nice PMs with StillAWarrior. Seems like a good guy.We now can get back to transfer rules hopefully changing soon to favor the athletes, which is how it should be. I'd love to see the Big East take the leadership on being on the right side of history here, and not let the Big 14 get all the glory.
Stillwarrior is a good guy. You can be at times, too. You sent me 17 PMs over a two week period. You also claimed in several of those PMs how you had and would stop the political stuff....but you didn't, and I called you out for it. I'm sorry Stillwarrior and others didn't like it. It's funny I get the blame for that, when if you hadn't done it in the first place no reaction would have happened at all. Weird.Now, about transfer rules....not very smart and harm the game. Tampering will be out of control, some programs will be decimated and to suggest that will not happen to SOME programs it the ultimate head in the sand.
I am happy to use other examples if you wish. Hinson was an easy one from a few years ago. I think you are still missing the overall point and Billy (who actually is at a mid major and does this for a living) knows more about this stuff than 99% of the people on this board. The issue of tampering will absolutely EXPLODE....and please do not start with the tired trope that "it is already happening". Not like this it won't. Today it of course happens to some extent, but the player still has to sit out so there is a built in control against it. If this nonsense is passed, there will be active free agency recruiting all the time. Who wins? The haves. Who loses? Everyone else. This notion by Pakuni about players going down....who cares. Are the Dodgers suddenly hurting when a player is demoted to Triple A? Uhm, no. It's the upward bound players that provide the benefit and the teams they LEAVE that are harmed. In a baseball example it doesn't matter because they are working in alignment with the big club. That's not what is going to happen here. Teams will have their guts ripped out by upper echelon teams, and they will then try to do the same to someone else to fill the void. Horrible outcomes. JUST DUMB.
You really want to be the person to call out someone who says they are going to change their behavior? I believe there's a mea culpa post on this board from you
I'm not missing anything.I don't care about the fate of whiney mid-major programs. Those who are innovative will find a way. I don't really care about tampering. Such is life. I care more about the players ability to play where they want to play without sitting out.
When that same person is PMing me about changing mine and he continues to do it.....you bet. He can show by example, he cannot do it...is incapable.
THIS IS SUCH TORTURED LOGIC. First off, they didn't mine because the kid had to sit out a year. The market opportunity wasn't there. Not the case with grad transfers where this is happening more and more. You think for a second an upper level school wouldn't want a chance to grab a stud player on a team that was in "rebuild" mode because kids were graduating ahead of him? Etc? Give me a damn break. You are not comparing apples to apples because the rules aren't the same.
