slu72 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 NYC’s a whole lot closer to MA than the far off places he listed. His excuse is BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, we have no clue whether that's "his excuse". There was simply a tweet speculating that schools have been in his ear telling him he could get a waiver because of COVID-19. We have no reason to believe he ever told anyone he wanted to transfer because of Coronavirus, or because he wanted to be closer to him. Unfair to vilify him for that aspect, IMO And @slu72, this is not meant to be directed solely at you but this part of the discussion more broadly. Apologies if that came across as personal.

Taj79 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I won't speak for slu72 but I understand your comment NH. Schools pulling this shite ought to get sanctions for their efforts but we all know the NCAA is just a joke on enforcement all around. And as I say that, I know there will be others who will comment that the NCAA is making millions off these poor, underpaid kids and that's criminal too. Yet room and board and books gets ignored. But they can't get a decent stipend to take their girls out on dates. I know, I know, the whole thing needs reworking from top to bottom so spare me all the moans an groans. I get it. But this "transfer due to COVID-19" crap I want so see. Juzang went home to LA. Call me placated. Figueroa going anywhere other than Northeast of hsi current location is pure garbage. Unless, of course, he has a sick grandma in Texas and he's related to Mickey Pearson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we disagree certain aspects of transferring and NCAA compensation, but I respect your view on that too. My only point here is that I don't think it's fair to judge the Figueroa kid since we don't actually know why he's transferring or the reason's he's given to his coaches about doing so. Just because some blogger said schools are telling him he could get a COVID-19 waiver doesn't mean that is what he is actually doing or why he is leaving. Anderson wasn't the coach when he originally went to St. Johns, so it could be as simple as wanting to pick a coach/system that is a better fit.

Regardless of what Figueroa has said or not said, personally I have ZERO problem with anyone using COVID 19 as a waiver-reason to get the heck out of NYC. brianstl and doowop like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Well ..... thank you for that perspective. I never thought of 'Escape from New York' but there is some sense there. Of course, that would shut down college basketball for all of NYC if everyone is going to think that way. Maybe guys could transfer every week or month if hotspots pop up here and there around the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 You want to go home or very close to home then fine - I get it. To transfer some place else then you shouldn't get the waiver. I don't always find myself agreeing with Taj but in this case he has a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I just. I can't handle this. The stars have aligned and cosmic forces have given us an unprecedented THIRD opportunity to get Justyn Mutts. And for TWO years! But it happens in the one freaking year in which we have a fully stacked roster. Oh, cruel fate. If he ends up in the A10, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Hang in there with 2 years of eligibility there is time to fulfill your dream of SLU signing da Mutt as a GT. After SLU’s final 4 trip Kofi Cockburn understanding his only chance to play in a final 4 is to transfer to SLU my dream will be fulfilled.

courtside Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 6'3 combo guard Jalen Carey transferred from Syracuse to Rhode Island today. He had a thumb injury this past year and is expected to apply for a waiver to play immediately the next three years. He was originally a top 10 rated combo guard in his class out of Harlem. Chose Syracuse over UConn. As a transfer, he chose Rhode Island over Alabama. (Also received interest from four Big East schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sat out with a thumb injury. That's five transfers in for Rhode Island, the Mitchell twins (eligible in December), Martin from Charlotte and Betrand from Towson.

Taj79 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Are the Mitchell twins eligible as you say? This was asked before. You need a full year in your school before you are eligible and the Michell twins only declared in April. So I doubt they were in Kingston in January. Everyone would have known.

Taj79 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Yes, HP, I read the story ...... but again, as I understand the transfer rule as it currently exists, you have to be ENROLLED in your next institution in order to start the clock on your one-year transfer residency. The Mitchell twins signed on February 29 and March 3 of 2020, meaning, to me, December is a pipe dream. Hell, schools started sending kids home due to COIVID at the time they signed, all tournaments were cancelled, and all classes for all intents were shelved. I'd also like to see the waiver request Carey files. He's from Harlem so Kingston ain't no sick grand ma. He's not going home. He's had injuries; so too have others including Thatch and Jimmmerson. Big deal. And yet the coaching staff "recruited" him to play with Fatts. Fatts is a senior ----this is it and a no go unless Carey gets this waiver. That's bullshite, cheating, tampering ---- call it what you want, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
