[QUOTE="Soulberries, post: 1546871, member: 707756"] I feel like I’m in the minority in this viewpoint, but I understand why he thinks he may be better able to reach his long term goals at Syracuse. I think Griffen would have had a hard time maintaining the playing time he had last year with the incoming freshmen, two transfers and a healthy B-V all competing for that playing time. I believe he has the potential to be truly special, especially in Boeheim’s system. Do I wish he stayed? Hell, yes. But I can understand why he left, appreciate what he gave us, and wish him well. HOWEVER, that said, I do NOT understand the NCAA’s apparent arbitrary manner in which it grants or denies petitions to waive the sit-out year requirement. Sometimes, it honestly feels like the criteria is “extraordinary hardship or transfer from Illinois“. And even hardship seems to stipulate that the student is not transferring [U]to[/U] Illinois.
