Two Years of Fru?

Agreed.  No need to speculate how ww think it will/should work.  Because, it rarely turns out how anyone believes it should.

I think it's actually extremely close and almost a #donedeal with details unlikely to move much if at all.

It would be awesome to have him for 2 years. 2027-28 roster:

Nigel (jr)
Adrien (jr)
Minessale (sr)
Royce (sr)
Fru (sr)

Damarius (sr)
MPIII (sr)
Egbuonu (soph)
Colton (soph)
Josh Clark (jr)
Ian (soph)
Nash (soph)

If all of those guys (or even the majority) were on that roster and get close to their projected ceilings, that's a squad that could make a DEEP run.

Who's MPIII? If you mean MPII, why is he listed as a Sr?

MPIII is a player.

The NCAA has a standard academic year that begins on August 1st every year. I can't imagine them allowing every institution to have a different schedule. Maybe they try to create specific schedules for each sport, but I think most likely they default to the standard academic year.

Agreed.  If every school was allowed a different academic calendar, players born near the cutoff could use up their eligibility at one school, then transfer to a school with a later date academic year.  I can't see this being the NCAA's intent.
