This was the ultimate irony to me. The team that we beat to get to the sweet 16, and that we destroyed this year, and which also last was in the NCAAs in 2011, has gotten back there before us. Unbelievable.
And we get to listen to it for an entire week. And the following week leading up to the final four tournament. At this rate I’m convinced we are cursed and the basketball gods are gona somehow allow vcu to get to the actual final four. Then of course we have the off season to look forward to while our athletic department shrugs their shoulders and collects paychecks telling us everything is fine.
I we had advanced to the final game, we may have had Burton, Golden, Crabtree, Sherod and possibly TJ Cline back by then.
So I am completely confused by the transfer rules. My understanding was that you can only use your extra year of eligibility at your current institution. Yet I see both Murphy and Hollowell are grad transferring out of Wofford...they're both seniors who already played four years.
think this explains it:
“The eligibility is available at another school,” the spokesperson said in a subsequent email, “but the scholarship will count against team limits. If a student-athlete stays at their current school but has exhausted eligibility, their aid doesn’t count against team limits.”
In other words, if you have 13 basketball players on scholarship and three seniors stay for their extra year, you still get three additional scholarships for 2021-22. If a senior transfers to another school for that extra season, he or she counts against the allotted scholarship limit (which is 13 for men’s basketball).

so a team that's already filled their slots for next year can't add one of these grade transfers, but could have their own seniors stay.
but a school with open slots like us could add a grad transfer senior. even one who played all 4 years, because this year doesn't count.

That’s nuts! Great explanation, but what a crazy set of rules!
The seniors have lots of options it seems as well as any player on the roster for that matter.
Wonder if CM really enjoys the carpooling. Sounds like off season recruiting got a bit more complicated.
Is one of those Wofford guys the one who lit us up? Can we please grab him? I called it then and am calling it again.
Yeah, Murphy had 21 against us. He'll get plenty of interest from the big boys.
Conversely, we have room for Luka Garza!
I'm sure there would be plenty of schools who would make a schollie open for Jacob if he wanted one. Grant and Cayo would have much wider options though, IMHO though.
I hope if these guys want to play another year they can find a place that offers them the opportunity to play in the NCAA's. They deserve it. That place ain't here.

Yeah, he missed the first few games of the season waiting to be declared eligible, but he's their leading scorer on a fairly deep and balanced squad. They haven't had a great year, but they seem to be putting things together pretty well here at the end.
Iona is likely to be a tough matchup for them...they did split the regular season series, although that was back in December before Woj became eligible.

Guess he thought no room for him..after nick went down, we definitely could've used his shooting.
We should remember that Wojcik has a father and uncle who were D-1 coaches. I'm quite sure they weren't impressed with how Wojcik was being coached and managed. That equals = see ya!Wojcik with 33 a week ago?

Pastner was definitely smoking up on the bench or something. I think he was just so shocked that his team saved his job this year and to make the tourney by only having to win two games to claim an ACC title, how bizarre. Mooney had to be thinking 'Damn it, why didn't I think of that??'
