Rasheem Dunn Waiver Denied (APPEAL WON)

Vermont is a solid enough team where the more depth and talent we have, the better. They have some talent this year and aren’t a slouch. They made the tourney last year and have talent back. I’m not saying they’re Duke but would still much rather have Dunn back. If we get a game under his belt before the Vermont game id be even happier but I’m getting greedy.
 
Yes they're in the America East but Vermont was the landslide, unanimous pick by the coaches to win the conference and they return conference-player of the year Anthony Lamb. He averaged 21+ points while shooting over 50% from the field and he's a handful. He's shot really poorly in the first two games and they're still winning on the road which says something about the rest of the team. They return most of a group that almost beat #4 seed Florida State in the first round last year. A much better showing than us and they return more minutes than we do. We'll probably be underdogs at home to them.

I love the enthusiasm and confidence. I am also hopeful that we can beat them (especially at home) but to take them for granted or not treat them like a major step up in competition would be a mistake. They even got a couple of votes in the AP Top 25. That being said I hope we run them out of the gym.
 
Vermont would be a great win, but I'm not looking past New Hampshire yet. One at a time.

I was hoping to get him beck before Vermont but If he’s getting cleared, beggars can’t be choosers. Sounds promising.[/quote]

I don’t get all of this Vermont talk, they are in the friggin American East. I would certainly hope we can beat them without Dunn, if we can’t then we might not beat Albany without Dunn. Vermont should be a win with or without Dunn.[/quote]

27-7, NCAA team returning 4/5 starters...
 
UMBC plays in the America East and they beat #1 seed Virginia two years ago.

Good team, but not great. And no we will not be underdogs at home to them. Good Lord.

I agree they are a good team and anyone can beat and even surprise any team on any given night. If we don’t have Dunn I still expect to beat them and no we won’t win by 30. Now I will say we need Dunn back for Mohegan.
 
Alabama point guard Jahvon Quinerly was denied his appeal from the NCAA Committee for Legislative Relief. Was hoping to play immediately after transferring from Villanova.

If he had won his appeal you may as well just make every transfer immediately eligible from here on out.

Spoke to Zach after the game on Saturday he said the same

I think that they flip a coin to make a decision
If they don't like the way it turns out, they go for 2 out of 3, etc.
I like Coach K's idea - hire a college basketball commissioner[/quote]

Let me be clear based on some of the grounds others were granted waivers I think granting one to Dunn seems reasonable.

However I do not understand the notion of simply wanting one because you were a mid-year transfer and having played little the first part of the season before you transferred. That reason is weak. That is why I don't understand the constant harping on player A getting a waiver even though he played last year and player B not even though he transferred mid year and hardly played. The waiver is not being based on how much or little they played last year since you have to sit either way.

Again Sid Wilson never even enrolled at SJU for the fall. Never. Forget about ever playing a minute or even suiting up. Never even enrolled for the Fall. Had to sit the entire year at UCONN and for the record SJU was not particularly cooperative with his waiver request which was ultimately denied.
 
Take it FWIW, but someone I know with "inside knowledge" heard grumblings that Dunn's appeal should be approved shortly, and he may be eligible to play Saturday vs. Vermont. Don't shoot the messenger if he's wrong though just passing along what he told me lol.

Common view of late, hopefully true.

The carrier pigeon carrying the waiver from Indianapolis to Queens lost its way.

Should arrive later this week.
 
Zach B
And for those asking, no there is no news yet on status of Rasheem Dunn's waiver. Expectation is there will be clarity pretty soon. #sjubb

Fwiw, Zach expects Dunn to be cleared to play.

Why don't you get the harping? Years ago NCAA clamped down and said they would handle cases where youre going home for sick family. Hardships. Now kids are transferring anywhere they choose after playing a full year with no hardships or coaching changes (not that it matters clearly with Dunn) and then another kid in our case played 5 minutes and 1 game and he's told no. When you grant a full year kid immediate eligibility out of thin air like that then yes a kid playing just 5 minutes in 1 game and not getting it becomes a very relevant topic.

The whole system is broken and combined with piss poor officiating is making it harder and harder to watch.
