Numbers look good, but I don't know how well they would transfer to Div 1.  It's probably a good sign that ND, Illinois, and Creighton are in on him too

[We R Final Four]

Why does a transferring D3 player have to sit?  I didn't think that was the case--mistaken I guess.

This. Didn't that guy Depaul had from Lewis not have to sit?

Seems like they are usually eligible right away, but there are exceptions. From the NCAA website:

One-time transfer exception: If you transfer from a four-year school, you may be immediately eligible to compete at your new school if you meet ALL the following conditions:

You are transferring to a Division II or III school, or you are transferring to a Division I school in any sport other than baseball, men's or women's basketball, football (Football Bowl Subdivision) or men's ice hockey. If you are transferring to a Division I school for any of the previously-listed sports, you may be eligible to compete immediately if you were not recruited by your original school and you have never received an athletics scholarship.

You are academically and athletically eligible at your previous four-year school.

You receive a transfer-release agreement from your previous four-year school.

Might he have had a partial scholarship?

It's also possible I suppose that website had it wrong and he doesn't have to sit.

Looks like a good shooter. 41% career from 3. Pct went down from 44% to 39% as his usage went up, but he shot better during the conference season.

A kid's "game" might not transfer from D3 to D1, but shooting is shooting. Certainly worth a look.

Brendan Bailey with more guard skills.

My understanding is that if you transfer down, you can be immediately eligible, if you transfer up, you have to sit.

[StillAWarrior]

Like TAMU said, if you transfer down, you can be immediately eligible.

The Strus did not get loose until after a mandatory redshirt season

6 degrees of separation, hey?

I was under the impression that d3 could not give out athletic scholarships

Michigan added Duncan Robinson from DIII and he's in the nba now

[GooooMarquette]

My understanding is that DIII schools cannot give athletic scholarships.

I think the hang up may be the provision that says "you were not recruited by your original school". He was getting interest from some DI schools in the Patriot and Ivy leagues, and it looks like Wesleyan also "recruited" him.

Left the building, ehh

[bilsu]

Regardless of the rules, he may simply want to redshirt to work on his game.

[rocket surgeon]

Like TAMU said, if you transfer down, you can be immediately eligible.

so if he transfers to depaul, no wait, ey

[auburnmarquette]

While d3 schools seem to give academic scholarships to a number of athletes, I though the d3 distinction was that no athletic scholarships could be given.

That's just me going from memory when a soccer daughter actually had offers at all three levels and I was researching.

The worse revelation to me came when my twins both received nice D1 track offers and I realized outside of basketball and football everything is partial, but that's a tangent

[The Sultan]

D3 athletes can get academic scholarships but not athletic ones.  The NCAA actually audits D3 schools on occasion to ensure that athetes are getting roughly the same financial aid as non-athletes at any particular school.

Likely sits

4-4 vs 2-4
