For sure with the players , it was bad luck at the time. But they now all get to play together on this "super team" essentially. As was pointed out above only 2 (Cayo and Gilly) of the 5 seniors on the roster were actually recruited 4 years ago. It is highly unlikely that we see a scenario play out like this ever again to get a 5 man senior class.
Yes 97 you understood my points. Thanks for the assist.
would amend this that CM has missed in the grad transfer route and been overly quiet on the undergrad transfer route. I think he’s technically probably 2 for 3 on regular transfers with TJ and Blake. Wood was a miss and Crabtree is tbd. He probably needs to be more active there, but he’s been more active in the last five years than the 10 or so before that.
Would this apply only if the season is not played? I would guess that if we have the season we are expecting and get to play the games, all our seniors would be ready to move on and take the next step in their lives anyway.
I don’t think Gilly would want to do that. Why have an asterisk next to your name (ie over a 5 year period) if you could win the title outright?
Presuming it’s the same as the fall sports policy, it’s a blanket extension, regardless of whether this season is played. Originally, they were going to offer it only if players played in less than 50% of the normal max number of games, but they ended up giving it to everyone.
Yes, it applies to everyone, not just seniors. But also keep in mind that schools aren’t required to give players the extra year of scholarship, so there has to be willingness on both sides.
No, there would still be spots left. The schools can continue to go over 13 until all of the kids on the roster this year have moved through the program.
for our current grad students athletes ... you can't get a masters degree in one year, can you? I'd think if you started your graduate degree and have the opportunity to finish it for free ... why wouldn't you?

Agreed, we have to sign a big man with this last ship. Whether that be transfer, high school, international, really does matter, has to be a big man and to clarify for Mooney, a high quality big man recruit. Don't be grabbing some guy in Spring with offers from American, Mississippi Valley State and IUPUI and try to sell that to us.
Agree. Seems like the odds are in your favor of finding what you need versus hoping you can develop a player. Of course, big man recruiting hasn’t been a strong suit, so we have to hope that the recent positive outlook and the new practice facility can win over a previously highly recruited player that went P5 but can’t get enough playing time, had a coaching change, or just didn’t like the school initially chosen.
Hey that’s not true, your Mother has to have an in-growing toenail at least.
by right now do you mean before fall of 2021? we're at our 13 limit until then.
Yes Gkiller, that is the kind of guy I want. SEC POY, NBA player. I saw that but didn't make the connection. If we had landed Grant, we probably are in a nice 6 year run with multiple NCAA appearances. But seriously, I am really hoping we can land a talented big for next season.
