RUBillsFan Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Just saw this come across. SLU could really benefit from having Akok. They need a big presence to fill the void inside. It is a bummer they no longer have the flexibility to fit Akok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little tampering, or should I say additional NIL money suddenly in play??? He is reportedly tight with WVA Jose Perez. AA has played for four seasons, [maybe one is a med redshirt year], but he could well be a grad transfer. I haven't followed his academic progress.

The NCAA needs to go away. This rule is so dumb. The organization is dying and trying to flex. I'm in Indy today I'll stop by and work on the Ezewiro transfer. I’m mostly with you. Throw all the rules away. If the schools can eat their young in conference reorganization money grabs, then let the players do what they want. Scholastics is no longer an issue. If a player wants to transfer at mid year, let them and let them be immediately eligible. Your team having a bad year? Jump ship to a winner. Pro sports trade players mid stream. Why not let the professional college athletes do the same. Six or seven time transfer, no problem. Bring him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, IN THEORY, SLU's not necessarily out of scholarships because LHJ could go back to being a walk-on, right? When is it actually determined whether or not someone is a walk-on or counts towards the scholarship limit?

I mean dad is worth ~$45 million. When SLU signed LHJ, I thought it was a charity spot, but as good as he was last year, maybe it was LH keeping an extra schollie open for a 13th man. Lord knows SLU could use another big with all the 2x transfer waivers being denied the last couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVBilliken Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Given this article I have little or no hope that Ezewiro qualifies to play this season ...... https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10085687-ncaa-to-apply-stricter-rules-for-2-time-transfers-to-gain-immediate-eligibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he officially sign something with SLU? If so, it would seem to me that he should also have to sit out as a two-time transfer even though he never played here.

BLIKNS Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Not very optimistic about Bradley's chances , from all the reports denying waivers... Maybe the fact both coaches left may help his case.. Read North Carolina's Governor and Marco Rubio have written to the NCAA., for the 2 football players. Maybe get some negative reactions with football , could that help basketball 2 time transfers chances ... let's hope ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I have no problem with only approving one transfer - the pandemic is basically over so one with no sitting seems fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there were talks but have not seen a Rucker commitment anywhere since he entered the portal in late May. Then there’s Dandridge remaining at Memphis. Cannot blame SLU for moving on from these perpetual holding patterns. School is starting… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
