[quote="SJU85" post=360575][quote="JohnnyFan" post=360566]Agree that the NCAA has often proved to be arbitrary. That said, I feel like we are in better hands with Cragg. Just feel like he understands the process, maintains relationships with knowledgeable professionals and positions us well.
I am feeling confident on Dunn and will consider Steere being cleared for the first semester as a pleasant surprise.[/quote]
Steere’s Waiver request is to retain his freshman eligibility giving him 3.5 years to play as it states he has to sit out the first semester regardless instead of 2.5 years (losing his entire freshman year due to the one game and half a year as a mid year transfer). The articles appear to confirm such as they both say he won’t be eligible until the second semester even if his waiver approved.[/quote]
Are you sure, because the article from New York Post says "Dunn and Steere are waiting to hear from the NCAA on waiver requests for immediate eligibility." And that's kinda the vibe I got from CMA's response at media day, he was quoted as saying if Dunn and Steere both get waivers they'd be in the mix to be starters.
Also there's been guys that have receive immediate eligibility that transferred at semester that played more games and minutes than Steere did that NCAA has already granted immediate eligibility. One kid named Jordan Phillips that played in 7 games for Arkansas last year, left at semester, and is immediately eligible this year at UT-Arlington to start the year. I would think if kids that are playing multiple games are getting immediate waivers, you would think Steere just playing in 1 game would... he's basically already sat out an entire year.
