Remember when everyone wanted Cade Tyson out of the portal? Ba Ha Ha 3.7 ppg

I figured that Chaz will leave for an NBA deal anyway.

I guess I’m not up to speed on the proposed rule change. 5 years to play 5 I guess, but not 6 years to play 5.

This is Dubar’s 5th year of playing college basketball

Then I’m in the dark as to exactly the rule change is about. The free COVID year is just now running out for current super seniors. Grads have been able to transfer for a 5th year for a while now. Maybe it’s to give the current 4th year seniors the same option as last years 4th year seniors had with the COVID option.

Then there’s also the JUCO thing. That rule change would have impacted Knecht.

If they had redshirted. The rule has been 5 years to play 4, so if you redshirted you could transfer and play a 5th year.

Then came the COVID stuff, those in school during that season got a free year essentially, that runs out this year, shouldn’t be any of those guys left after this season, see Zeigler, got 4 years to play and he’s exhausted all 4, no 5th year if he graduates and transfers, no COVID year because he wasn’t in college when that season happened, his 4 years are up.

So new rule proposal is 5 years of eligibility for everyone, likely no redshirting, no waivers, you have 5 years to play or not to play, but that’s all you get. Those who have played 5 years already this wouldn’t affect, see Chaz and Dubar, those who have only played 4 would in theory get another year, as well as every underclassmen also and freshman going forward.

Can we please for once sign two Point Guards. So tired of not having a legitimate backup.

I’ve thought the same before. Even with how great Ziegler is, he has some ugly stretches where it’d be really beneficial to have another point guard to put in to let him settle down. It would also free up our point guards to play more aggressive defense.

Dubar is already in his 5th year, he wouldn’t be eligible, same for Chaz.

But they are currently using their covid year. Would the 5th year of eligibility supercede that?

Edit: Nevermind, asked and answered...I should have read further.

So Fulky could essentially come back for 8 more years

Without looking it up, I’m not sure about the red shirt requirement for grad transfers. Most would need one rather than graduating in 3 years though.

I guess the primary reason for the grad transfer rule was that if a player graduated then they didn’t have to sit out a year to transfer. John Fields was the earliest GT that I remember and he redshirted in his 3rd year, played in his 4th, and transferred to UT for his 5th/senior year.
