Here are the
NCAA transfer rules. There are exceptions that allow people to transfer without sitting out, but they are pretty limited. Go to page 19 for the transfer rules from one four year school to another. As I understand it, for the exception to apply:
1. He needs to be a qualifier
2. It needs to be his first transfer
3. He must not have been recruited by his first 4 year school
4. He must never have received an athletic scholarship
5. Be in good academic standing and making progress to his degree
6. Would have still been eligible had he stayed at his first school
7. Have a written release from his first school saying they don't mind if he gets an exception to the sit-out rule
Thus, as I read it, it is not impossible that the exception could apply, but I would have no way to know if all these conditions have been met.
