Sure, it was inevitable, but I'm still surprised nobody here has commented on it: The NCAA has allowed winter athletes an extra year of eligibility.
Which means: Instead of one year, Satterwhite and Steadman now get two, while Parker and Henderson get three. Plus Anderson and our young sophomores all get in essence a redshirt year.
At least that's the way I interpret this ruling.
What does it mean for recruiting? And roster sizes? TBD.
My guess is, this year gets wiped out completely. Cases are spiking again around the country as we head into flu season. Basketball is an indoor sport. And while, yes, the NBA ran probably the most successful season of all the major sports, that was in a bubble, with incredible resources available for testing and sanitation. Colleges can't begin to duplicate that.
But this guarantees we'll still be loaded in 21-22.
