Know how I know they're not friends? Crean has no friends. He's a pariah...a douche bag...A social climbing, phony ass turd.

Quit beating around the bush, Nightmare! Tell us how you really feel!

I still don't understand why he would only have 2.5 years of eligibility. He's just a freshman right? He gets 4 years of eligibility. So, how can he play for half a year and but lose a year and half of eligibility? I thought that's why they sit out a full year...to maintain that eligibility. If he loses it anyways, why can't he play right away? Jamail Jones transferred after his sophomore year, but he still gets 2 years of eligibility after he sat out last year.

From what I've read, there are basically no "half years". Any season you play in removes an entire year of eligibility.

He'll come to Marquette with 3 years of eligibility remaining, but won't be able to play the first semester. If he plays the second semester, he basically burns an entire year of eligibility for half a year of playing time.

So, he still has 3 years, but he'd only be able to be on the court for Marquette for 2 and a half.

That is correct.
