I hope he finds somewhere where he can stay healthy and get tons of playing time next year. Sounds like taking a redshirt this season helped get him some much needed rest. Best to Harley!

For him, I just hope he's able to get (and keep) that back healthy for when he's an older man.

Hasn't he only been in college 3 years? But he is graduating, and has 2 years eligibility left?

Regardless, best of luck to Khari #FutureEndeavors

Amen - the back more so than anything, is what you want to keep healthy as you grow older.

I thought he redshirted his freshman year. So, he has been in college for four years and has one left.

He could apply for a 6th year for a medical redshirt from this season.

True, except I think if you use the grad transfer to play immediately then you only get one year of eligibility.

That's not true. When Chandler Thomas transferred in it was said he had two years of eligibility. He only ended up using one, but he still could have used two.

So a scholarship opens.
At this late a date, most likely looking at two options: a graduate transfer ala:
http://georgiabasketballblog.com/possible-graduate-transf... /
yes our guy is on the list. Or someone that gets released from their LOI with a coaching change (ala when Christian left).

Thoughts on who might be on either of these lists?

What if the last scholarship holder is already here? What if Wadly stays? Can anyone point me to the coaches or Arkley ever suggesting that Wadly is leaving, or was that rumor born here. I've heard directly from our coaches that the intent all along was for him to redshirt, but not necessarily for the purposes of letting him transfer. I know he has his health issues, but Crohn's is manageable with a disciplined diet. If healthy, a 6'10'' athletic senior will have a role on next year's team.

I'm hoping this turns into 11 pages of posts regarding a mystery recruit.

I hope he stays healthy and I am very glad that he is getting his degree. I hope he finds a good landing spot where he gets playing time. I was also wondering if anyone has heard that Wadley was definitely moving on?

I'm not in a position to look it up, but I think I recall Arkley reporting in the fall that he was leaving. I suppose that could change though.

This is the only mention of it I could find. It does look like more speculation than actual fact.

It was talked about in this thread, then it snowballed form there.

I think most people took it as fact once we signed three players yet were only graduating two.

Why on earth would you think that???

I thought the deal with Wadley was that he chose on his own to leave the team then crawled back and Saul was awesome enough to let him stay to graduate. Now he can move on. I hate to be blunt but the guy did not want to be here so why would we waste a scholly? Good luck Wadley..thanks for some solid dunks and a few blocks but enjoy Florida A&M.

I like our 3 freshmen and also read from Arkley that Tone is petitioning. If Tone were to stay then Wad..KK and Khari would need to leave to keep the 3 freshmen. If Tone leaves a grad transfer would rule.

11 pages.... That's the goal.... This is a good start. Now we need Borna to start listing overlooked Indiana kids who can play. Come on guys, we can do this.

Because I have never seen anyone play for two years using the grad transfer and it is a very NCAA thing to do.

Mix in a little "EDoz is going to be the answer next year" and this thread goes from 11 pages to 31.

Funny to see you join the crowd when you sent this about Zaire.

That's what I heard also. I didn't have it confirmed until about three weeks ago. Sure hope he comes. You also stated we should know soon.

I guess when you haven't reached self actualization, you kind of follow the crowd. I still appreciate you and think that you add value. I hope you got your rocks off.

Haha, that's funny considering the recent thread i read on the ball state board listing all the Indiana kids in the tourney that Whit obviously "missed" on.....including the 4 playing at Vermont That poster assumes we can get anyone here to pass up tcu, Ohio, Duke or a better fit to stay home
