love the ones we're with - I personally refrain from speculating or projecting who might leave during the season and even after the season. We'll find out when they announce. Just because someone won't be the star player next season doesn't mean they will leave. CH persisted and he bleeds orange and blue. Even if player X may not be in 7/8 man rotation next year, if they are here then I am 100% rooting for their future success and happiness and that they will become a key player in year 3 or 4. I highly recommend reading the article on Shay Bollin posted in the Womens BB thread. I truly hope SH's year of dedication results in a break out year for him and the team.

The one that you're mentioning is really good this year and if they were one of the first teams to throw him a lifeline during a very difficult time....they deserve to be on that list.
Not being a star player and not playing much at all are two totally different situations. These kids have 4 years to play a truly big part of a team. If you're getting blocked, if you're fitting the system if you're not playing because the talent level of the competition might be too much.....kids have options.
Cant disagree with you here. Not on the top of my list for all the reasons you mentioned
he seems like a kid that year 3 or 4 could take a jump and be a potential starter. He's a GREAT example of a modern kid that would benefit from past generations that would redshirt him. But current college basketball just doesn't lend itself to redshirting anymore.
Domask* btw my badTime to put some truth behind that Wisconsin reporter's $500,000 claim!

Domask wants another opportunity to torment Wisconsin at the Kohl Center? Can't say I'm surprised. 
Boy, getting him back for another year would be absolutely insane.

I don't trust the NCAA to do anything positive, especially for us, but this would be a welcome surprise.
He's not getting another year. He got hurt during the Covid year which didn't count for eligibility for anyone. It's not happening sadly.What the h*ll are these takes in the last page or so?
Domask has a very good argument to get another year. Have we not also seen how the NCAA is getting pwn3d with regard to how they're trying to force their restrictions on players?
No Goode = No tourney?
If Xavier Johnson can get 6 years. I don't see why Domask cannot.
Incorrect. Scroll up about 3 posts.
I will be incredibly shocked if Domask gets the waiver. If he does then I'll take my L and be incredibly happy that we get him for another year but I don't see it happening at all. Covid Year didn't count for anyone's eligibility, so a medical waiver from that year just doesn't make a lot of sense. Hope I'm wrong though.
With the turnover expected from this current roster, his role in the locker room may be more important than his role on the court (we all know how important he is on the court)!Domask wants another opportunity to torment Wisconsin at the Kohl Center? Can't say I'm surprised.

9 high schools and his next college will be his 5th commitment (Syracuse, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Clarendon) and he still has never played a second of D-1 basketball. Mix in what he pled guilty to and I hope we’ll pass. Culture.

If anyone can point me to an example where the NCAA has granted this waiver where the Covid season is the one being given back, I will happily revise my view.
But it's the exact same scenario as Tommy DeVito, whose waiver was denied.
A bit of googling also indicates a Notre Dame WBB waiver who opted out of 2020-21 due to Covid concerns, tried to apply for a waiver to get that year back, and was denied.
Notre Dame's Maya Dodson denied sixth year of eligibility by NCAA
Best wishes in her professional career.

Nobody can get the eligibility they lost in 2020-21 back, because nobody lost any eligibility in 2020-21. The clock did not run.
The year Xavier Johnson suffered a season ending injury was not the Covid season. Open-and-shut medical redshirt. It's his 6th season, but only his 5th against the eligibility clock. The clock did not run in 2020-21.
Jalen Coleman-Lands was the same situation.
I also found this about Cam Spencer at UConn who has the same thing as Domask. 5th year player who was injured in 2020-21:
Emotional, competitive Cam Spencer perfect for UConn men's basketball team
Spencer, who transferred from Rutgers, has found the perfect landing spot on the Huskies basketball team. He will make his NCAA Tournament debut this season.

If we are shooting for Dior does that mean no Boswell? Or both? Or just throwing things out there at this point?

I'm sure there were players that got a medical redshirt that year AND got a Covid year. I don't think that would be a hiccup.
The hiccup is the percentage of games played... which in a non covid shortened year, he would be eligible.

I feel like all of these denied waiver requests took place before the NCAA got spanked in court in the 'sitting out a year when you've already used your free transfer' case. I think the NCAA may have recognized the change in the environment and we may find them much more permissive as they try to avoid further litigation. The cash cow is dying, but there is still milk to be had!
