When the graduate transfer exception was first introduced it was supposed to be only if your school didn't have the graduate program you were interested in taking. Not sure when/why they changed that.

…any word on a possible VC grad as a walk on?

Boomer I’ve seen VC play twice last year and they aren’t very good. The last one from VC that walked on, I dominated in an alumni game at 34 and he was on the team.

You should absolutely be rewarded with immediate eligibility upon transfer if you’re a 4 year graduate. Graduating in less than 5 years as an athlete is commendable, to do so in less than 4 years should be applauded and rewarded.

The system will get better once the “Covid year” is no longer in play. Not saying it will be fixed, but there will be one less card in the players’ hand.

The VC kid will no longer be joining the team.

if you believe they arent taking any short cuts. quite the dillemma, they put all these mickey mouse classes, extra summer terms, correspondence credits (now online only courses) “academic assistance centers” to keep players eligible, general studies degrees with barely 120 hours, but then it starts to lead to “early” graduates. ruhroh… yet they cant come out and say the graduate didnt deserve to transfer without sitting out or else the eligibility of most of the other players would tumble under the house of cards that was built

Half of college students graduate by taking Mickey Mouse classes and finish with a mountain of debt and worthless degree and are no better prepared for the real world than when they got there.

The two-year degree completion rate for graduate transfers (50%) is lower than for graduate student-athletes who remain at their undergraduate school (70%) and is substantially lower in Division I football (31%) and men’s basketball (34%).per ncaa (2018 study)

The weird thing is why was "a draft expert" breaking this news... doubt any nba fans were interested in the news and had major impacts on their mock draft. The guy did not write with a UL target audience, almost as if the purpose of his "news" was to notify the potential transfer market

If he was resigned to the fact that he'd never play in the NBA, he wouldn't have had his name in the draft and certainly wouldn't have had it in so late in the process. The draft is this month.

Name in the draft was a formality. He wasn't invited to the combine which is very telling. Hope he comes back.

The weird thing is you posting anything relavent to this thread without making it about some conspiracy theory or a disertation about grad school and the transfer portal. If you can't stay on topic, then feel free to post your normal paranoid thoughts on one of the other RP theme threads....in other words, just go away...BTW, STM (St. Thomas More) is a high school...you don't walk on, you try out...
