I'm happy for the young man but I don't understand why you're calling me out to speak on it, Professor

Have any of the players who left Georgetown and did a second transfer gotten waivers? For those who did not, are they attending school ther under scholarship? Do they get any of the promised NIL money if they are not eligible to play this season?

Sure as in play for money. Not as in NBA. I don't mean this as any disrespect to Primo Spears, but are there professional leagues that take guys of that caliber? I could sort of understand it with somebody like Murray, who has athletic talent/ability, but I don't think Primo Spears is particularly athletic, and he has no high-level skills, other than perhaps ball handling. But, he cannot defend, he cannot score efficiently, and at least at Georgetown he was a big ball hog and took awful mid-range 2 point shots that are not very much in fashion in professional circles. Those don't seem like attributes priming somebody for professional basketball, even outside the United States and in the lesser paying leagues. That said, perhaps with coaching better than what he had at Georgetown, he would be a better player.

Don’t do the kid like that

Attorney General of WV threatening antitrust action because RaeQuan Battle was denied a waiver. Totally normal country.

I don't know if you follow but Mozone is dropping like 20 points regularly in the league he is in.

Don’t do the kid like that As somebody who does not follow professional basketball all that much even at the NBA level, and has virtually zero knowledge about the lower levels of professional play, I was asking a legitimate question. I guess the answer is yes based on what dense said about Mozone.

I guess the answer is yes based on what dense said about Mozone. From a blog post: How many professional basketball leagues are there in the world? As of September 2021, there are numerous professional basketball leagues operating worldwide, spanning across various countries and continents. The exact number of professional basketball leagues can change over time as new leagues are established, and existing ones may dissolve or undergo reorganization. Some of the most prominent professional basketball leagues include: National Basketball Association (NBA) - United States and Canada EuroLeague - Europe Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) - China Australian National Basketball League (NBL) - Australia and New Zealand Turkish Basketball Super League (BSL) - Turkey Liga ACB - Spain Lega Basket Serie A (Serie A) - Italy VTB United League - Russia and Eastern Europe Argentine Liga Nacional de Básquet (LNB) - Argentina Korean Basketball League (KBL) - South Korea Additionally, there are several other professional leagues in countries around the world, each contributing to the global popularity of basketball. Many of these leagues have their unique features, playing styles, and fan bases.

It's cool that so many guys get to pursue the game professionally after college, even if it does lead them to more exotic locales. But the latter is likely a good thing for many of these guys too. I know the lower professional leagues aren't likely easy to play in and have challenges, but it allows guys to play a game them love and see new places.

Imagine being in your twenties and being paid fairly to very well to travel the world and play basketball. I know that may paint a flowery picture of what often can be very difficult, but there are many worse things that can happen at that stage of life.
Best of luck to all current and former Hoyas. It does no good to hold grudges, save against the Cuses, You Cons, and Dooks of the world!

The NCAA is really going to regret flinching to political pressure from North Carolina in the Tez Walker case. Every state school is going to use it as their playbook for a waiver.
