So what does this mean for the kids that transfered from here to play for sprinkle? The ones that he brought here as transfers.

Darius Brown is a graduate transfer and Great Osobor is a first-time transfer, so they're fine. Reportedly RaeQuan Battle did not graduate, so will be relying on the waiver process to be eligible this year.

The transfer rule sounds like a complicated mess to me.

Mr. @TomCat88, could you and @Colter_Nuanez put your collective skills together and produce a nice piece of investigative journalism as to why Vidlak plays and Alexander Jr. sits? There must be an interesting story hidden from view there. Thank you, gentlemen.

Vidlak committed on January 8. Rule change was voted on and I assume changed on the 11th or 12. Alexander committed on January 13, I believe. So basically if he was a day or two earlier, he would’ve been fine.

Common sense from the NCAA would have been that if a player entered the portal prior to the rule change they’d be eligible, but this is the NCAA we’re talking about here. Common sense doesn’t exist.

too bad that ncaa did not immediately notify every player in the portal and every school that signed a player in the portal that there would be no grandfathering if the rule change passed. hope there are plenty of lawsuits.

What good would it do? Nothing would get changed in time to make a difference.

Michigan coach breaks the rules, 4 game suspension. A player breaks a rule that is invented later, he loses a season.

I think it's as simple as Vidlak finished both semesters at both schools and Alexander did not. But I'll ask more deeply on that.

He didn’t break any rules.

Does anyone know if he gets to practice with the team? I am sure it would just be scout team, but that would be better than having a year of watching and working out on your own.

[BobDals]

Oh ok
Thank you for clarifying that

He still gets to practice. And it is scout team.

Tez Walker at UNC has now been granted a year of eligibility and can play immediately. What the heck is even going on?!?

Raise a big enough stink and have the school threaten a lawsuit. Then the NCAA will "find" some evidence not previously reported to allow the transfer.

Yep, that’s why I’ve posted this about three or four times, but he should send a letter (on a lawfirm’s letterhead), asking why others in similar situations are able to play this year, and earn $$, and he’s not. It isn’t fair, and the NCAA needs to be held accountable. I know some really good attorneys that could take this on, and prove how they are costing him potentially huge opportunities, and therefore huge money.

Maybe he could get some NIL money from a law firm that represents him?

Just trying to clarify your statement: Why wouldn’t he be able to make $$? He is still fully able to engage in any NIL activity he wants. The whole point of NIL is that a player is free to market themselves apart from the university. Also, he should still be getting whatever scholarship/aid he was on.
