maybe, looks to me like 2 years left and able to play right away since coming from JuCo ranks

She has two years to play according to some articles but the one below says two possibly three. Shot 57 percent from the field on 8 shots per game and 67 from the free throw line. She had played enough in one season to count against her eligibility and 32 games last season.

I know this is (another) polarizing issue but I hope KJH relaxes that policy. Tats are so mainstream now. This policy is very 1980's in its ethos. Why tats and not hair braid extensions? Tats just ain't for sailors and bikers anymore.
Dunno. Article said she sustained a broken hip in first gane of 2017-18 season and missed the rest of that season. Last season was only season she played.
Being a medical redshirt her first season, wouldn't that leave her with three years' eligibility?
There are two issues here. The NCAA allows student athletes five years in which to complete four years of eligibility.
TIME: Her clock started in the fall of 2016 when she enrolled at Virginia Tech.

YEAR 1: 2016/2017
YEAR 2: 2017/2018
YEAR 3: 2018/2019
YEAR 4: 2019/2020
YEAR 5: 2020/2021
ELIGIBILITY:
YEAR 1: 2018/2019
(In 2017/2018 she played in too few games for the season to count as a year of eligibility and would qualify for a medical redshirt.)
By my count, she has three years of eligibility remaining, but only two years in which to use them. She could petition the NCAA for a sixth year, but it is rarely granted. So in effect, she would probably only be able to play for two more seasons.

This is not true. The NCAA makes eligibility decisions on a case by case basis. Simone Westbrook, who just finished her career at Clemson, was granted multiple additional years due to injury, transfer and coaching changes. She originally started college ball in 2012 and just finished her college career 7 seasons later in 2019. Any player can be granted additional eligibility on a case by case basis. Just have to apply for it.
