So the ball he played before Evansville does count?

He only had 1 year at Evansville and 2 here though? Juco isn't supposed to count
I think the waiver for former NAIA/JUCO athletes just gives them additional 1 year and doesn't just completely start the clock over when they move to D1
We need to put the hammer to Oregon so we can rest players as Wagler has hit the wall.
AJ Redd probably
Ben walked for senior night against Purdue last year....
He's about to break that wall down!
My prediction is a very nice 25/7/6 game
I got caught up in him leaving Huntington after his Junior year implying 3 years there, 1 year at Evansville and 2 years here. I didn’t realize he didn’t play as a freshman.
Feels like he’d have a pretty good case at a waiver if he wanted one. What’s the logic in this year at NAIA doesn’t count but the other one does. Also possible that in his appeal to be eligible this year he waived the right to further appeals.
Oregon beat Wisconsin, they're no slouch.

B. Undies asking for the nasty out of the team. Who is going to get the nasty started? When will the nasty get released?
Davis has been the one guy to not lose sight of his assignment. Admittedly, his role is limited, but he's played it perfectly.Jake Davis brought it against Michigan …
He had the f’ing fire !!!!
This slump has seen too much hero ball from Wagler, Boswell and Stojakovic. When I talked about this team to people during the winning streak I talked about how often their shot attempts are wide open because they're so good at making the extra pass. Have seen less of that from the guards lately. When this team was playing their best, you'd rarely see heat checks when they were trailing or tied.
When they are in control of a game it looks so calm.
We need to get back to making the other teams defense work, we were so good at moving the ball and now we are seeing less assists and more quick shots. Move the ball.
Also - If shots aren't going in, drive to the hoop or get the ball in the paint to Mirk or BIG Z/TOMI.

My understanding is that his two years at an NAIA school (not a JuCo) counts as one year. Add one year at Evansville and two years here, and you get four. I thought for a long time he could just ignore the NAIA years, but it does not work that one. Someone else needs to find the backup for this argument. It was shown to me before, but I forgot it and lack the stamina to look it up for myself.
I realize this is high-schoolish, but I’d really like to see AJ Redd get a start tomorrow night. Sub him out at the first dead ball. Barring that, I sure as heck hope his teammates take care of business to the extent he’s on the floor when the game ends. By all accounts, he’s been an asset to the program.
From ChatGPT:
- If you’ve used fewer than 4 seasons at NAIA and your five-year clock still has time left, you may be eligible to compete at the NCAA Division I school for the remaining seasons within that five-year window
I assume Ben got a waiver for this year because:
Year 1 NAIA: didn’t play
Year 2 NAIA: played (clock starts)
Year 3 NAIA: played
Year 4 D1: Evansville
Year 5 D1: Illinois
Year 6 D1: Illinois
The NCAA gives a 5 year clock to NAIA athletes transferring up to D1 and they start the clock when they start PLAYING NAIA not just attending.
For JUCO athletes, they don’t start the clock till guys get to the D1 or D2 NCAA level. NAIA they start it when you first start playing NAIA

100. Vice versa as well, given his future plans at Madison. Great to see.
Have a great time!
If the five year clock began at the beginning of Year 2 NAIA (which I think is correct), then his fifth year ran out at the end of this, his sixth overall year.
