Spring game visitors


Recommended Posts

Also, two transfers from UNLV. Joel Ntambwe (6'9 Fr F) averaged 28 min 11.8 pts and 5.5 reb and shot 40% overalll and 38% from 3.

 

Other UNLV guy is a 6'8 Fr F/C who played about half as much as Ntambwe but shot 47% from the field overall.

 

So we are up to 4 guys visiting.

Ntambwe also recently visited UCONN and is given high praise from UNLV assistant coach saying he will be a pro in two years and would have eventually been Mountain West player of the year had he stayed with the Running Rebels.

Do we know what the eligibility situation is for each of these guys? I assume the non-juco guys all sit one year but I can’t keep up with all the new waiver “rules.”

 

A waiver would mean immediately eligible. Who knows there. Otherwise:

 

• Top-five JC prospect Jervay Green - Immediate
• Former Oklahoma State forward Maurice Calloo - mid semester 2019-20
• UNLV transfer Joel Ntambwe - 2020-21
• UNLV transfer Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua - 2020-21

UNLV players would be eligible for a wavier. NCAA approved multiple waivers for players last season, who were leaving due to a coaching change. Its not a guarantee, but it is possible that Ntambwe and JTT could be eligible for 19-20.

Yeah, the NCAA has been extra lenient these days.  Would not surprise me one bit if Ntambwe and Tchtchoua got a waiver to play right away since there was a coaching change at UNLV.  Add Green and Mack and throw in a guy like Ntambwe and we become a very interesting team next year.  Still probably a big man short but man we will be fun to watch.
