“The NCAA’s DI Council has ruled that student-athletes in some specific situations can now transfer and compete immediately without a waiver.

According to a report on the NCAA’s website, incoming freshman college athletes who have enrolled in summer school and received athletics financial aid can transfer and play immediately without a waiver if their head coach departs before the first day of classes for the fall term. Additionally, walk-on student-athletes on teams that provide athletics aid and non-recruited walk-ons can transfer and play immediately without a waiver.

Those rules are effective for students who transfer to new schools this fall.”

The rule can help us rebuild very quickly if used he right way. It can also hurt us with regards to guys like Figueroa maybe. Not sure.

Not sure if it applies to Figueroa. I am interpreting this change to be applicable to incoming freshmen and walk-ons only.
 
With Mullin leaving this sounds like all SJU players can transfer and play right away. With all the relaxing of transfer rules teams will have to replace half their rosters year after year.
This sounds real bad for SJU this year.

I read it to only apply to incoming freshman where coach leaves before school starts. We have no one in that situation.

Agree, seems to apply only to incoming freshman who attend summer school and where the HC who recruited them leaves before school begins..
Otherwise, the wording would include all underclassmen athletes, attending summer school, imo

The only ones affected by this rule from the Men’s basketball program at St. John’s are Justin Cole and Brandon Lawrence who are walk-ons completing their junior years. They
Could transfer without sitting out unlike Elijah Holyfield who sat out a year after he left. We have no incoming freshman and if we did, the coaching change was made before the summer and before any potential freshman enrolled and took summer classes.
 
Thanks God Mullin barely recruited High School kids :)

Think of Braxton Beverly 2 years ago. Committed and signed with Ohio St and then enrolled in Summer School at OSU. Remember most coaching changes happen in March and April before a kid enrolls and so as long as they simply get a release from their NLI they are fine. Thad Matta departed in June of 2017. Well after Beverly had ENROLLED. Therefore Beverly was now a full fledged student athlete at OSU.

He then decided to transfer citing Matta no longer being the HC as the reason. The NCAA said that's fine but you need to sit out a year just like any other TRANSFER. Because at that point you are a TRANSFER. This is not about a recruit getting a release of your NLI. Beverly asked for a waiver and was denied. And then appealed after a huge outcry and got it.

All this rule does is say that Braxton Beverly would no longer need a waiver. He could play immediately.

Sid Wilson at SJU would still need a waiver since he was in the same situation as Beverly except he simply bolted without a coaching change.

He was slightly ahead of his time.
