Title: Oriakhi transferring from UConn
Post by: ATWizJr on March 22, 2012, 02:28:48 AM
Per CNN. Leaving whether or not UConn wins its appeal to overturn ban on playing in next season's NCAA BB tourney. Considerable loss for those guys.

Eh, he had a down year and was averaging something like 7 and 7.

He is a Junior.  Not sure what he is thinking.

I think he can play right away though due to UConn's suspension from post season play.

Nothing about that sounds reasonable.

Yes, I believe you are correct on this.

Correct.  He will have plenty of options.

Although, I don't think he can transfer to another BE school and play there.

Well, we are talking about the NCAA...however I have no problem with this. I still think it is completely outrageous that a coach can up and leave for millions of dollars, or head for the hills when he sees trouble brewing, but if the players he recruited (who ultimately helped make all that money for the coach and school) want to transfer as a result, they are forced to sit out a year. The whole thing infuriates me.

I believe it's only in the case of a senior transfer. The NCAA didn't want to punish players for school violations. Pretty sure that all got decided when USC football got their penalties.
