Looking at the scholarship chart and trying to make sense of some of the speculation regarding Agau. If you look at it academically, he's a senior this year (unless all his Louisville credits didn't roll over), a junior from a basketball perspective, yet this is really only his 2nd year of actually playing. The year he transferred to us, he played a total of 11 minutes which I would assume could be waived based on precedent thus giving him 3 full years when he got to the Hilltop. Anyone have any concrete info on whether or not next year is his last from an eligibility standpoint or is there a chance my logic is correct in thinking he could get an "extra" year granted. Would love to have him in the frontcourt as I think he can be a stud when he's healthy and back up to 100%.

Good question, and one I've thought about. Under the rules, you "use" 1 of 4 years of eligibility if you play at all. Thus, Agau has used three years, and next year would be the "last." That said, I think he could certainly apply for a waiver because he played 11 minutes and it would be silly to basically eliminate an entire year of playing over 11 minutes. But without a waiver, he's done after next year.

This is how I look at it year to year: 2013-2014 Louisville: 95 minutes (1 year used) 2014-2015 Louisville: 11 minutes (2 years used); Transferred to Georgetown in December 2015-2016 Georgetown: Redshirt - Injured Didn't play 2016-2017 Georgetown: 3rd year of eligibility. 2017-2018 Georgetown: 4th year of eligibility. 2018-2019 ? Waiver for 5th year? |

Btw, I heard he thinks of himself as a one-and-done, so there's that...

Yeah, somehow the transfer would have to be skewed as a "hardship" situation similar to Josh Smith (coaching issues) or Hayes (personal issues) to waive the 11 minutes. NCAA being all over the place never makes predicting something easy, and it is dependent on the kid himself, but Gtown is usually pretty good at winning this appeals to the NCAA. |

My only regret comes when I think how great it would have been to have him for 4 years.

The eligibility question is an interesting one. But it's not just a question of the NCAA in this case. It will also depend on Akoy's plans for his future.
For now, I'm glad to see him looking healthier the more he plays. I'm still astounded by his conditioning having been forced onto the shelf for so long. For a guy that wasn't able to go full speed for much of the last couple of years, he must've found other ways to get in his cardio because he's logged solid minutes and hasn't looked completely gassed. He must have been working his butt off and it's paying dividends for him and his team. For a team that has guys that some have wondered about their level of want to, Akoy isn't one that would ever be mentioned in that conversation. Everyone wants a team loaded with guys with that quality and it's a quality that is really difficult to instill from a coach's standpoint. Your best bet is to have a few guys like that that bust it every play and it rubs off on the others that have less of it because they're looking lackadaisical in comparison. I think we're already seeing a bit of that and I don't think it's a coincidence that Isaac was sitting more before his injury.

Sounds like the consummate Hoya.
And based on my few trips to Nebraska, a consummate Cornhusker too!
