AJ's Future

Re: AJ's Future

Where was AJ name? I guess they forgot to mention him. Good for us.

I think the reason he isn't listed is because he's not a minority. I think this is an article publishing who they think the best minority coaches are for the job.

Re: AJ's Future

OK, for the last time on Macy Miller:

1. She has signed a letter of intent, binding her to come to SDSU.
2. SDSU can release her from that letter of intent and she can be free to attend anywhere.
3. She can choose to leave SDSU without a release, but will be required to sit out 1 year and forfeit a year of eligibility.
4. If SDSU does not release her, she could appeal to the NCAA, but there is no way she would win the appeal in this situation.

Carry on.

I certainly hope the women's basketball program doesn't disband after A.J. leaves and takes Macy with him...

Odd, the board shows the quoted post was made today...should have been April Fool's Day.

Wrong on the last part of #3. The year sitting out is the same as a red-shirt year , would still have 4 years to play like Jill Young did.

Wrong. Jill Young received a full release from Creighton. If you do not receive a release (as described in #3), you burn a year of eligibility and are not allowed to play. That would leave Macy with 3 years of eligibility.

You can't just break a NLOI without repercussion.

If AJ leaves doesn' t that void the LOI.

Unless things have changed I'm pretty sure bigticket is right. You can transfer and then redshirt at the new school without burning a year of eligibility. If you aren't released by the school from your scholarship then you have to pay your way to that new school during your redshirt year, whereas if you are released from your scholarship then the new school can give you a scholarship.

Re: AJ's Future

I've always thought if the head coach leaves incoming recruits have the option to transfer if they want and not lose a year of eligibility. They would also still be able to play right away.

Very definitely not. The NLI is with the school, not with the coach.

All of my information is coming from what Notre Dame went through with Eddie Vanderdoes. The information below is cut and pasted from multiple articles across the web:

"Just less than four months later, Vanderdoes is leaving the Fighting Irish before ever stepping foot in South Bend. Vanderdoes formally announced he will transfer to UCLA, but that Notre Dame did not release him from his National Letter of Intent. As a result, he cannot play as a freshman and will have four years to play three seasons."

"Vanderdoes could have enrolled at UCLA without a release from Notre Dame, but he would have been forced to sit out the 2013 season while losing a year of eligibility"

Vanderdoes appealed to the NCAA and won, so none of the above will apply to him.

Re: AJ's Future

I believe TK is correct on all accounts. The only one I would waiver on just a little bit is #4. The NCAA is getting a little wishy washy about letting kids transfer for odder reasons than this. Look at Cody. If it were even 5 years ago that he applied to transfer he'd have been fortunate to have any eligibility leftt let alone 2 years and play immediately.

I think there are many examples out there where the athlete has applied for release from their LOI and have been granted that release by the school, but there is no obligation on the part of the school to do so.

Re: AJ's Future

Is it different if you transfer from DII to DII than if you transfer from DI to DI or has all the transferring rules changed? I know when Koupal and Schooley transferred Schooley was released from her scholarship and Koupal was not. Therefore Schooley got a scholarship during the year she had to sit out at USD and Koupal had to pay her way, however neither girl lost any eligibility.
