Jose Perez Granted Waiver for 2020-2021 Season

[MU82]

A more physical Lockett?

If so, look for dozens of Scoopers to rip him for 2-3 months until begrudgingly admitting that he's good at his role.

Definitely heavier. As guards/wings go, dude looks fat. Then again, Davante was one of my favorites.

He's know Lloyd Moore, hey?

He is not fat, he is a mature thick man that could play linebacker.  Not really believe he is a 2 guard, more of a small forward.

I believe the term is chonk.

I just wanted in on the inability to use the quote feature. I have nothing to add.

Anyone wondering if Jose's waiver has anything to do with Dexter's situation...and whether it might be a sign that Dexter's "covid-related illness" is more severe than we know?

The consensus here and elsewhere is that the decision is a surprise. Others have also mentioned recent denials at Xavier and Butler, both of which seem to reflect NCAA's typical hard-line stance on sitting out a year.

So what's the difference?

There obviously could be non-covid factors that none of us know about. Or it could be just a case of the NCAA's inconsistent application of its own rules. But the surprising nature of this last-minute decision, coupled with Dexter's illness and recent waiver denials at other schools, make me wonder.

FWIW - I hope this isn't the case, both for Dexter's sake and the team's. Just looking for some way to understand it....

It did seem as if MU didn't want to appeal for Jose this year.  But then all of a sudden they did.  Hope it's just good news rather than offsetting news.  However I have cheered for #mubb for a long times, I'm braced for impact.

At least we have another player who has played at the D1 level albeit not the P6 level.... and this season we just might need every player.

Even though he's a Junior, he's got 3 years of eligibility available due to the COVID rules.  It makes sense that everyone would want him eligible ASAP.

Hm, you just made me realize what a mess the scholarship table will become if multiple seniors stay for an "extra" year.  I don't have a color for that dammit!

If they graduate and stay do they have to take classes to remain eligible?

I'll be curious to see how many "firm handshakes and thank you's" there are at the end of this season across the land.

They will need to enroll in a graduate or pre-professional program.

Though I'm interested, in terms of eligibility, normally Perez would be sitting out this year (still undergrad) and then redshirt jr next year (undergrad) and then redshirt sr (undergrad) in the 3rd year.  Does the waiver now mean he has to complete his degree after 2 years now?  I guess that would apply for waivers any year - the extra year doesn't really affect this.

[The Sultan]

I don't think he necessarily has to complete his degree.  Just make progress toward it.

So could Dawson play here for 5 years and DJ for 4?  Is the rule that this year doesn't count for anyone?

Yes, it appears so.

Winter sport student-athletes who compete during 2020-21 in Division I will receive both an additional season of competition and an additional year in which to complete it, the Division I Council decided.

Yes, but I would not expect either one to stay that long.

[BrewCity83]

Dynasty!!

[The Lens]

Neither do I, so more appropriately, does that put Greg Elliott on the Otule track?

Gray would be appropriate.
