Welcome Jalen Haynes

[bravesfan]

NCAA just turned down waiver requests for football players at Florida State and UNC.

One of them moved back home to be closer to his mom who has a medical condition. NCAA catching some sh*t for that one.

 

[Verdad]

My impression is that we should all assume Haynes and Newton will be denied their waivers and will redshirt this year until told otherwise.

Not sure if posted before, but this talks about second time transfers and mentions Newton.

Transfer again and play right away? NCAA says no, but coaches are wary of enforcement

If the NCAA doesn’t take a firm stance on transfer rules, "they may as well just close the doors in Indy."

If the death of a parent isn’t justification for a waiver, nothing is.

Yeah, I expect Newton to get his waiver. I know significantly less about Haynes' situation, but it's generally safe to assume the NCAA will do the wrong thing until proven otherwise.

We’re about to find out if Jalen really can play effectively at the 4 as Tony said … no way they are moving Amari to the bench as well as he is playing.

C — Kelly
PF — Haynes
SF — Hall
SG — Maddox
PG — Polite

Could certainly open up the court for Hall.

Hall and Haynes are interchangeable. They can have advanced post games or face up. The hi-low interior passing between with all 3 in the lineup is going to be beautiful.

I'm gonna say it now. Mason is going to contend for the A10 Regular season title

And after the 14 days?

And after the 14 days?

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. Is this ruling, likely before a friendly West Virginia judge, necessarily a good thing for Haynes. Could he lose a full year of eligibility for playing some games this year instead of sitting out the whole year?

I'd be tempted not to play him until that situation is clarified.

 

[GSII]

Apparently he can play without losing eligibility. That rule was suspended also.

I could be wrong, but I think it’s been confirmed that a player won’t lose eligibility if they decide to play these next 14 days and the decision ends up favoring the NCAA.

 

[GSII]

Hopefully Haynes gets to play this Saturday. Will add some intrigue to my first visit in 6 years.

this you when you walk in? Haha.

 

[GMU79]

Has Haynes been allowed to practice with the team? I wonder about chemistry.

 

[MASONscott]

My son goes to ASU. They just announced their player, Adam Miller, in Haynes situation, is playing this Saturday against TCU.

I hope you're right. I was thinking that the phrasing might be limited to team W-L records not being negatively affected by playing someone who was later ruled to be "ineligible''.

 

[psyclone]

I think he has practiced with them, although he likely wasn't getting many reps with the first team. So there would be some chemistry issues, I would think.
