Man I love his skillset. There has to be space on our roster for a 4 year player like this.

Not the best game to host recruits Maryland.
@HoozGotNext we got a list of possible visitors for the Houston game?

Nahā¦Iād guess Stevenson and/or Caleb Williams. Itās a busy weekend for high school tourneys, most will be busy.

Late night offer. I mentioned in the other thread I had heard they were really impressed by him this past weekend. 2024 Paul VI big man. Heās the cousin of Isaiah Abraham, who also holds an offer, so definite package deal potential.

Described by On3 as a broad shouldered big man who is a good rebounder that has range beyond the 3 point line. Iāll take two please.

I think him or Sorber would be really nice to pair with Buchanan and Traudt

While Iād love to get both, I refuse to get my hopes up with a Paul VI kid until the commitment letter is signed.

This seems like a classic CTB trying to get in front of the pack offer, although he shows offers from Georgetown, Iowa, KSU and a few others
Fardaws Aimaq IS eligible to play this season, a source told
. Yes, he can transfer and play right away, this seasonā¦ Major news for whatever program lands him. Getting an All-American caliber big man in Aimaq.

Hereās the tweet:
Thatās interesting, but hereās how Iām choosing to read that: āFardaws Aimaq told Jake Weingarten that he is eligible to transfer and play this season.ā Okay, great, but query whether either of those two know what theyāre talking about. Color me skeptical.
Is there a loophole that says if you transfer but get hurt, and donāt play at all, you get another free waiver? Not that Iām aware of, but I suppose itās possible.
Could he apply for and get a waiver in-season / in between semesters? Again, I suppose the answer is maybe, but Iām not sure.
Until we learn more, Iām choosing to read this as one kid (Aimaq) telling another kid (Weingarten) something without either one of the kids really thinking through the details/process of how that would happen. (Which, by the way, doesnāt mean theyāre wrong.)

I mean, look, Iām not saying we need Woodward and Bernstein on the transfer recruiting beat, but did, like, Jake think to ask, āOk, cool, but how?ā
Or more likely, did he text/DM Aimaq āYo, can you play this year if you transfer?ā and Aimaq replied 
and then Jake tweeted it out a couple seconds later.
I think Iām getting oldā¦

Itās not unprecedented. One of our best womenās players did it last season. Despite the article saying McClean would have to sit out, she got a waiver in January and played in 11 games for us last season.

Interesting, thanks. So I guess the answer is that heās not eligible but might get another waiver to play in some games this year, come January.
Itās still possible heās eligible. McClean even played a few minutes for UCONN which is probably why the waiver was necessary.
I think these mid year transfers are rare enough that each one is basically a special case where the particulars of the situation have to get examined. But maybe you can view that as default ineligible until cleared? And that may be a fair way to look at it.
Anyone remember how it went down with KT Harrell and James Johnson when they left the team at semester break?
