Guys, we may not even be playing basketball next season. Very true. But we can distract ourselves with this in the meantime.

Guys, we may not even be playing basketball next season. So let’s just drop all planning and wait till the storm is over to resume discussion 🙄

Question for the board. If there is no college basketball this year, will those players who were to be freshman this year lose one year of eligibility even though they did not play conference basketball at all?

If there is no college basketball this year, will those players who were to be freshman this year lose one year of eligibility even though they did not play conference basketball at all? An NCAA college athlete has five years from the time they enroll in which to play up to four years of competition. No eligibility is lost. If more than one year is lost there would likely be some adjustment to the "five years" clock for those students. The key point is that player eligibility starts "when they enroll". One does not lose eligibility of they spend time in the military or missionary work before playing college sports, or work full time for a few years before actually going to college (e.g.. Ed Spriggs). It will be interesting to see if any top freshman nationally opt to sit it out in 20-21 and keep their options wide open.

If there is no loss of eligibility then the only thing that makes sense as the reason for his going to Hargrave is the uncertainty of the state of college basketball this season. More than likely he has reason to believe that there will be high school basketball, therefore another year to hone his skills rather than pickup games at a college gym makes more sense. If he was thinking about reopening his recruitment, then some high school academy closer to home would make more sense. I will take the young man’s statement that he still remains committed to Georgetown as solid. I am very happy that he remains committed to the Hoyas because as I have stated I see him as the next big star for the Hoyas.

No offense but this take has got to be taken with a huge boulder of salt considering you weren’t even sure if a player can lose eligibility without playing...particularly when no other player would be playing either.

I can think of reasons to put off college for a year as an incoming freshman in 2020. It's not difficult.

I think the part people are having trouble wrapping their heads around is not the putting off college for a year part but the deciding to spend a year at a residential boarding military school that is further away from Chicago than Georgetown.

19 covid cases in Pittsylvania County, VA versus whatever the stats are in Chicago and DC?

19 covid cases in Pittsylvania County, VA versus whatever the stats are in Chicago and DC? Being out in the boonies doesn't save you from COVID-19. It's a residential boarding school. You've inherently got the same risks as college. I'm sure Chatham is more of a closed system than DC, but DC has now dealt with COVID, has the smallest R_t at this point, has high masking acceptance, and has better hospital facilities than Southern Virginia. It's not like there aren't post-grad places in the midwest.

Mildly interesting footnote: according to Jeff G on Dawg Talk, Hargrave was the school Gary Williams wanted Jeff to go to for a PG year before he would offer him a scholarship at Maryland.

If hoops is a big part of your college plan, wouldn’t you rather have a Covid disrupted PG year than Covid disrupted freshman year when playing hoops for Georgetown and the Big East?
Totally get this decision and think it’s likely a smart move, if not otherwise being required or suggested.
The concerning thing is that it reduces the chance for the time being that Tyler ends up at Georgetown. Another year of uncertainty and a possible de-commitment is the unhappy outcome. Let’s hope it never comes to pass.

On the Dawg Talk podcast featuring Sweetney and Braswell, Braswell briefly mentions that he had heard earlier that Beard's grades may have imperilled his prospects to matriculate this fall.
Lends support to the notion that he'll be @ Hargrave to rehabilitate his academic status and be eligible by the 2021 scholastic calendar.

Lends support to the notion that he'll be @ Hargrave to rehabilitate his academic status and be eligible by the 2021 scholastic calendar. Are we allowed to take non-qualifiers anymore? This could easily have been Tyler's decision in order to save a year of eligibility, but I'm just wondering if taking him and having him sit the year was a possibility.

Right or wrong, this reason was circulating for a while. It may have been more public around campus than we know, which is why KB felt comfortable saying it. I think TB will make a great Hoya, and look forward to seeing him play in 2021!
