What are y’all referring to.
He has been conspicuously absent from the preseason pics and videos.

Yeah, just ignore that pic going around of him and his new, longer hair. Ignore the post UT's Twitter account made of just him.

Stop trying to rile things up for the sake of doing so.

His quote:
“I think what they do, they get through the fall, they get through the Olympic sports, then they’ll get to it,” Barnes said. “So really from the beginning we weren’t expecting an answer until sometime probably around October, that’s when we expect to hear something because of all the NCAA has to deal with.”

He sat out last year as a redshirt and never played at ASU, common sense would let him play this year. I know we are dealing with the NCAA where common sense goes out the window, so you never know. It would suck to make the kid sit 2 straight years.

Not really. It doesn’t matter if he played or not. If he doesn’t get a waiver around the rule by rule he has to sit out

I think it would definitely factor in if he played or not last year. We are asking for a waiver to the rule so the NCAA would take into account a number of factors in granting that waiver. I think it is about 90% he gets to play but the NCAA will make us wait on it.

I don’t follow any players on Twitter. And that’s a good thing.
I’m not ignoring anything. He was conspicuously absent from the teams weight room photo and I haven’t seen him in the videos.
Apologies.

The only way not playing factors in is if the waiver request included a medical or mental issue that caused him not to play

The rule is clear and him not playing is irrelevant if it was a coaching decision which by all accounts it was

Barnes was “helpful”in the process and moving back close to home was used as the reason for the transfer

Had zero to with him not playing last year

hyperbole is bad mmkay. the fact he didn't play last year was not likely the driving factor in Burns getting eligibility but I guarantee it played a non 0 part in him getting a waiver. If you didn't play that year it definitely helps your case.

No it doesn’t. Plain and simple if it did all RS guys could transfer and play immediately.

I think if Plavsic played last year and NCAA knows he has a redshirt year still available, they would likely say he uses his redshirt year to sit out and plays next year. I don't know who decides waivers and what all they consider but to just say him not playing has no part seems unlikely. Maybe Bruin is in the room when transfer waivers are being discussed at NCAA. If so I will concede. If not his guess is no better than mine.

Yes I have been involved in that process before.

Like I said I’d if mattered all RS would be eligible everywhere

Since you have been involved in the process, would you say NCAA is always consistent with their rulings and always follow the letter of the law each time?

Of course not

The only consistent thing I see is you need a great compliance department/lawyer, a coach that cooperates and a reasonable reason for the transfer.

If the coach isn’t helpful the lawyer/compliance director better be worth their salt.

In Burns Case he had a very helpful coach that didn’t throw him under the bus.

You said ncaa is not always consistent and then said how important a good company liane department/lawyer is. I wonder if this lawyer would advocate on behalf of the player. Maybe bring up mitigating factors in behalf of the player. Something like he redshirted last year. Just a thought.
I’ll drop it now since it is not worth arguing about.

No

Not playing due to a coaching decision isn’t a mitigating circumstance.
