Well, filling roster spots without regard to culture and without continuity within your system is how you get the results from last season.
We focus on ratings and stat lines because that’s all we have access to. Obviously Brad and the staff are very much interested in how a potential transfer will fit into the culture, but we just have to trust them in that. But if the results from last season are our floor, I’m happy to swing for the fences with talent.
Or when I got in trouble for defending Coleman's long-term potential a couple years ago.
I thought when I typed GT it was wrong but I should have looked it up. Point taken about not playing
Our backup center just got a six-figure NIL deal with Memphis. I don't think there's much pushing going on these days.
Again, completely easy and simple if you want to spend five seconds on it.
The incredible story of college football's first -- and only -- eighth-year senior
It reads like a misprint, but East Tennessee State linebacker Jared Folks really is in his eighth year of college football, thanks to medical hardship waivers and an extra season following the COVID-19 pandemic.www.espn.com
The incredible story of college football's first -- and only -- eighth-year senior
and yet the NCAA always seems to make exceptions to their rules when they want to - hence it is certainly worth the try
I doubt he gets it tho

Who is being pushed out? Nico? Sencire has a role if he wants to come back. But it's not as big of a role as he wants and that's fine. We are brining in top tier talent. So many power 5 schools would kill for the portal class that we are about to bring in
Refusing to upgrade the roster has a similar effect as guaranteeing playing time to certain players. Both can also erode culture. The culture we have established involves competing and not expecting anything to be handed to you. Earn your roster spot and earn your minutes. Every new player that comes in (whether as a freshman or a transfer) will be expected to do the same.
I’m glad you and Gritty aren’t his lawyers
Can’t remember where I first saw this quote but it hits:
Didn't Palcho get an extra year because he got hurt during the covid season? I can't remember all the details, but I feel like he got a waiver that surprised everyone.Spencer did play his 5 games at the end of the season, which is counter to what the rulebook on medical redshirts says. Domask played in more games than are allowed under the rulebook, regardless of any possible definition of the length of that SIU season, tweeted rumors to the contrary being flatly and obviously incorrect as ten seconds of googling indicate.
But neither matters.
The operative fact is that the NCAA has repeatedly made clear that no eligibility can be given back for 2020-21 because no eligibility was expended.
You know who really got screwed by this? Ivy League players. The Ivy League canceled their entire season due to Covid, the teams shut down, no games, no practices, Ivy League basketball did not exist.
A star UNC women's player who transferred from Princeton sought a waiver to give her back that season that was lost based on the league's decision. She was denied

In her lone season with UNC, Littlefield averaged 8.8 points per game while starting all 32 contests at point guard.chapelboro.com
St. John's has two former Ivy League players in the same position. They are also seeking waivers like Domask currently
Jordan Dingle and Chris Ledlum apply for fifth-year waivers
Both players missed the 2020-21 seasons due to the Ivy League season cancellationwww.rumbleinthegarden.com
"Both players’ waiver applications are unlikely to be accepted"
Feel free to dislike the NCAA's rationale here. But it is absolutely objective and clear and has been applied in a resolutely consistent manner, which will continue in Domask's case.
If new outlets would start putting stars next to transfers names, it may be the same for the portal...
They rank transfers….
