Maybe Bryant? Grasso was a finalist with him previously.
He is completing his 4th year--possibly he graduates this May and can tfr. as a graduate student
Technically, yes. But it will be interesting to see how liberal they are with granting waivers. The standard for the graduate transfer waiver seems pretty easy to clear. I don't know if Marcellus has graduated, but it is certainly possible.
I'm thinking that because the transfer rules in general are pretty liberal, that the NCAA won't be so liberal with granting waivers, but who the hell really knows? It a bit of a free-for-all right now.
You know what's funny as far as I know the Graduate Transfer rule was thrown out when they passed the new rule.
Emmitt Matthews Jr is transferring back to WVU after a year at UW. This article claims he is immediately eligible because he is a grad transfer. I think that is wrong I do think he still needs a waiver.
Btw Marcellus is not difference maker we need.

Here is a good write up.
It mentions graduate transfer as both the one time exception and using a waiver if it is more than once. Basically the waiver is not hard there are 3 basic rules that need to be met with the most significant being the outgoing school needs to agree they have no issue with player being immediately eligible.
A letter from the previous school saying it does not object to the student-athlete being eligible;
Documentation that the student-athlete has been accepted into a specific graduate degree program;
Documentation about whether that degree program is offered by the previous school;
A student-athlete statement including the reasons for the transfer; and
A statement from the previous institution about the student-athlete’s status on the team.
Generally the heart of the waiver is the three middle bullets. The NCAA wants to see that the student-athlete transferred in order to continue his or her academic career by pursuing a graduate degree not offered at the previous school.

The graduate transfer waiver is now typically used by athletes who have previous transferred once before and so cannot use the one-time transfer exception (even as a graduate student).A letter from the previous school saying it does not object to the student-athlete being eligible;

So basically the NCAA continues to be hypocritical and is perpetuating the charade that the transfer chaos is driven by academic concerns and factors. Also they are going backwards in giving the power to a school to object to the transfer when a regular student is not so encumbered by this rule.

If he's looking for an NIL deal and St. John's wants him back, Im sure they can create a Bobble Head Doll created in his image day.

Yes, I posted this a few weeks ago. Basically, they just need to choose a graduate program not offered at their current school. Pretty easy standard to clear.
The 2 big issues to me are:
1) Still requires a waiver even if the standard is low and
2) It appears the outgoing school needs to sign off on it.

The Duke of Earlington!!!!!! Obviously I would love him back but that ship has sailed. He is going to go somewhere where he will start and unfortunately, with the imminent Jones signing, that is not here.
