Luke Fischer transferring from I4

[GGGG]

My understanding is that he would have to pay his way for the second semester of this year since McKay burned a scholarship.

[GGGG]

There was a rule in the B10 that if you transferred in-conference, you had to pay your own way. That was changed last year, I believe. But he would lose a year of eligibility if transferring to UW (Big Ten rule) so he would be able to play 2.5 years.

He could play 3.5 if transferring to MU

Only if he is granted the medical redshirt to wipe out this year.  Otherwise it would only be 2.5

2013-14:  Play first semester...sit out second
2014-15:  Sit out first...play second

Play last two years.

eat it, mofos.  Don't doubt ZFB.

Keefe, I have 6 "toes" on my left foot, but only because my johnson is so big that I have to keep it in my socks for warmth and my shoe for protection.

Is that why you're stuck in the missionary position?

I'm the idiot here - too lazy to take my socks off.

It would be 1.5 at UW and 2.5 at MU. B10 has the rule that you lose 1 year of eligibility when transferring in-conf.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Wrong, Uthoff went from UW to Iowa.

that was the player to be named later from the Brust deal.

[bilsu]

The way I understand it he could transfer to UW, but he would have to pay his own way for one year. He could transfer to MU and have a scholarship starting now, if we can use McKay's scholarship.  I believe it is cheaper to pay for a full year at UW than to pay for a semester at MU.

I think since Uthoff paid his own way at Iowa for a year, that he will have three full years.  So Fisher could transfer to UW...pay for three semesters...and have 2.5 years eligible.  (I think)

I don't think we can.  Once a scholarship is used, it is done no matter if it is used for a day or the entire year.  (I recall this conversation after the TJT transfer.)

Per Andy Katz:

The Big Ten altered its transfer rule within the conference starting  in 2011-12 -- before the Bo Ryan - Jarrod Uthoff controversy.

The league is allowing players to receive grant-in-aid, but it is also putting a harsher eligibility penalty in place that takes away a year of play from the transfer.

Chad Hawley, the Big Ten's associate commissioner of compliance, said Thursday that the rule change was created to prevent penalizing players from receiving scholarship money. But the conference wanted to add a penalty if the player transferred within the conference.
The old rule stated that once a player signed a grant-in-aid agreement at one Big Ten school, he could transfer to a second Big Ten school but would not be allowed to receive any financial aid.

Used for the year or the semester?

Ah....thank you very much.  I stand corrected.

I am about 99% sure it is for the year.

So big it fits in your sock along with your foot eh?

[tower912]

I4 boards say he is homesick.   Hmmmm.

If he wanted to couldn't he Red-shirt all of next year wherever he goes and then have 3 years of eligibility (or 2 if it is UW/B10).

Yes.  I believe so.  But he would get good playing time second semester next year.

Come on home Luke!

The Ordies had to sling an extra 500 pound bomb on the starboard wing to correct the CG list to port

Does Marquette have a scholarship for him?  Aren't there 5 openings and 5 commits for next year?  Perhaps Mayo is done after this year?

Harris isn't official yet.   Right now, Hill, Cohen, Pierce, Shaylok are the 4 who have signed the LOI's.   Also, if history is an indicator of future, there will be roster transition.

Plus, I suspect they want to save one for Otule

People predicting transfer to Marquette, see last line:

"News just came across the wire that promising Wisconsin big man Luke Fischer is going to pursue a transfer away from Indiana University. My first reaction to this one is, "crap". This is going to hurt the Hoosiers not only in the short term but in the long term as well. Fischer was just starting to show some signs of coming into his own after battling with the inconsistency provided by a shoulder issue.

Fischer, a 6'11" freshman out of Germantown, Wisconsin should have plenty of opportunity to find a school that fits him. He's a typical Wisconsin big man that has great defensive instincts and a solid offensive base on which to build. The guy is very much a winner and despite only playing 10 minutes per game early into the season, figured to offer some high quality protection behind the foul prone Noah Vonleh and Hanner Perea. Now the Hoosiers are going to be vulnerable to a lack of depth on the front line in the Big Ten.

Word on the street is that he was feeling homesick during the fall semester and is looking to find a place a little closer to home. I can relate to that somewhat and feel for the guy. As many of you know I spent two years out in New Jersey at Seton Hall before I transferred to Indiana University. A big chunk of the reason I did so was because of some homesickness. Seton Hall actually offered more for me and what I wanted to do academically than IU could offer, but as Dorothy says there is no place like home.

There are times where you just get a craving for the familiar and no amount of friends or support could make up for that void. So we wish Luke the best of luck as he pursues an institution that can provide him a quality education closer to the familiar. I wouldn't be shocked if he's a Marquette Golden Eagle in the near future."

So, if he transfers here, he would pay his own way at MU until next season and then have a Scholie(Assuming the usual transfer/Harris not coming)?
