The NCAA is correcting it's transfer rule according to the Peoria Urinal. They are going to hit schools for 2 years pf scholarships instead of one if a kid wants to transfer. Interesting!!!

That is a proposed rule change that applies only to 5th year grad-transfers. It is not yet official. It was proposed, and will be voted on Friday, 4/19-

I believe the rules for all other transfers will stay the same.
It was mentioned here a couple weeks ago-

The 32 Division I conferences will vote, but there is some kind of "weighting" given to the bigger conferences. CBS Sports has polled some of the big conferences and they do not believe the proposed rule change will pass-

This rule would hurt the big schools the most, so they would not want it to pass. The mid-majors have been calling for some kind of change in the grad-transfer rule for several years. A mid-major school could be devastated by the transfer of a top player(s) leading into their final year of eligibility and can destroy a team's chances of success the following season. In addition, these grad-transfers occur well after the season ends and even sometimes after the signing period when it is virtually impossible for a coach to recruit another player who can contribute. So in addition to having to play the following season without a star player, they may be screwed again by being stuck with the unused scholarship and have to play shorthanded.Comment

This could be more of an issue with the one and done disappearing in the near future. Coaches at power conference schools with a top 30 recruit could see that player unexpectedly going into the draft late in the process. In the past that usually meant their options for filling the late opening scholarship were less than exciting players. With the current transfer environment, I could see grad transfers filling those spots instead.Gotta stop feeding the trolls.

the newly proposed rule for grad transfers does not have the votes and did not passOriginally posted by Da Coach View Post
BUT - NCAA did alter the transfer rules for most other players - with the possibility of immediate eligibility.
Certain incoming freshmen and walk-ons who transfer will not have to sit out a year.

Here is an unusual grad-transfer with a slight connection to Bradley....
D.J. Williams is a 6'7" guard/forward from Chicago, who committed to University of Illinois and their previous coach John Groce. After his sophomore season, Illinois fired Groce in 2017. Williams left Illinois and transferred to George Washington University. He sat out the 2017-18 season, and played as a redshirt-junior last season. He was the leading scorer for George Washington U. last season with an average of 13.7 ppg, and 4.7 rpg. He was a teammate there with Terry Nolan, Jr., who transferred and is now at Bradley. Williams and Nolan were both starters for the team last season, and Nolan was GWU's 3rd leading scorer at 10.6 ppg. D.J. Williams, like Nolan, had announced his intention to leave GWU and transfer at the end of last season, but he was hopeful to qualify as a grad-transfer. However, even after attending classes for this past summer, he fell just short of graduating. So he will continue his studies for the first semester of 2019-20, and will become eligible to transfer at the semester break as a grad-transfer. Wherever he lands, he would be eligible immediately

It would be nice to add him to this year's team, but as of now, Bradley does not have any available scholarships.

Another grad-transfer with a history of a Bradley connection- Devin Gage
Devin Gage visited Bradley when Geno Ford was coach. He was part of the large Chicago contingent that attended the Red-White preseason game in October, 2013.
That event was called a "Defining Moment" proclaimed by our local media,
though it never did translate to any significant infusion of Chicago talent, nor any success for Geno Ford.
He was a guard who graduated from Chicago Curie in 2016, and he remained a Bradley recruit until he committed to DePaul in 2015.
He has announced he is leaving DePaul and will play his final year of eligibility as a grad-transfer.

Some current news about Geno Ford, and it's not real good.
Geno took over as head coach at Stony Brook after the previous head coach Jeff Boals (Geno's former teammate in college) left to take the job at his alma mater Ohio University. In his first season, Geno took over a team that had gone 24-9, and 12-4 in the American East Conference in 2018-19 under Boals. He had a pretty good year, though considering he took over a team that had a decent amount of talent, he finished 20-13, 10-6.
But things have gone downhill. His team this year had no seniors this season. Stony Brook's top 4 scorers, who were all juniors, have all entered the transfer portal, the top 3 scorers entering in the last 24 hours. Earlier, he lost several other players to transfer, meaning he's lost at least 7 players to transfer so far, including his entire starting 5, all of which were slated to return and which would have been the favorite to win the American East Conference next season. He has already signed three transfers from other schools, but none appear to be impact players and none of them are eligible immediately as grad-transfers. Plus, he has only one recruit signed for the class of 2020, a 6' juco guard.
This leaves Geno very short on talent for next season. Fans on their message board have gone from optimistic to quite negative toward Geno.

Geno will destroy that program in 3 years or less. It's not personal, he's just not a good coach or recruiter.Originally posted by Da Coach View Post

Oh touchy! touchy! The definition of personal is they know know and dislike them personnaly. Tommy says he did not know him but just did not like his coaching style.
