Quinerly didn’t claim he was “run off” by the Villanova staff as Walker reportedly did... Speculation on your part that Walker claimed he was run off. For all we know, Walker could have just tried to get a waiver based on the fact that he didn't play in any games last season. Hasn’t it been reported that Gtown didn’t fully buy into the “run off”claim?

Hasn’t it been reported that Gtown didn’t fully buy into the “run off”claim? The following was reported by Jeff Goodman: "Been told by a source that Georgetown didn’t fully admit to a run-off with Walker and that’s why he didn’t get waiver to play at start of season." Not admitting to a run-off is why Walker didn't get a waiver. That doesn't necessarily mean that Walker claimed he was run-off. Like I said, if we're speculating, maybe Walker just claimed that since he already sat out a full season he should be eligible to play to start this season since it's pretty obvious based on the press releases that he was dismissed and not run-off.

So you’re taking issue with the word “claimed” even though I stated that it was reported that way?

There is no reporting that has said that Walker has made that claim, and Walker has not publicly stated that claim.

Not sure how the run off rule can get quoted in a report/tweet about Walkers waiver claim but possibly not be part of the story but ok my bad for using the word claimed...

Well it is the new school that applies for the waiver, not the player himself. Perhaps URI realized that the "run off" category was the only one that could even possibly be applicable so they used that as the basis for the application. And Georgetown's explanation of the reason for the transfer did not substantiate that basis.

Look he was not “run-off”
He was a really good player who could of really helped us fill the PF void created by Marcus’ NBA departure last year.
He messed up and made a bad decision (and should have been more careful after Chris Sodom). Of course we wanted to keep him but you can’t make exceptions or it reduces team morale when you play favorites.
So enough with this he was ran off nonsense and fairy tale

I don't think the discussion here is whether he was actually run off - it is whether GU could or even should have helped him out by telling the NCAA that he was run off, to increase the chance he could receive a waiver to play this semester.

GU did the right thing. There are consequences to actions, especially off the basketball court. The school has no responsibility to ensure that an expelled student gets to play right away at another program.

I think only GU grads could devote this much energy to such an arcane topic. Look, Walker would have been a huge addition to our team last year. The fact that PE dismissed him is a testament, in my mind, to PE's and GU's integrity. You can be sure other programs would have found ways to keep him. It is pretty obvious that Walker has some serious personal issues. Hopefully he has put them behind him and will have a productive year at URI. Let's get back to arguing about this year's GU team and why they can't play defense. We know what Urban Meyer would have done. Fight on.

Interesting read, the situation is completely different than Walker's... Alabama point guard Jahvon Quinerly’s situation just doesn’t fit all neat and tidy into one of the NCAA’s buckets. He wasn’t run off by his former school, Villanova, and there was no egregious conduct or a hostile environment that caused him to leave. He wasn’t dealing with a physical illness of a family member, or suffering from one himself.There’s no box to check for having your entire life turned upside down as the result of an FBI probe, or your mother being accused — and later cleared — of taking money from an assistant coach. There’s nowhere on a form to indicate you went to school at a place you never truly wanted to attend in the first place.

He finished with 10 points. Happy for him, sad for us. Wishing him the best, hope we don’t have to see him on the court.

Sadly he would be the perfect fit for the current roster. Excellent back-up to Pickett. Pickett could also slide over and play the 3 with him at the 4.
The lack of depth at the 4 entering BE play will eventually kill us....
