Question about Stevenson.

[Husker Hoops Penitent]

The NCAA is capricious, but I am wondering what the informed persons on this board think of his chances for a favorable ruling?

The coaches had said earlier on they felt good about his chances of being eligible for the beginning but have since changed it to "we are not going to comment on players' eligibility"

 Do we think this will impact the Stevenson case at all?

Maybe I'm just superstitious but we should not have Chris Holtmann write a letter on his behalf.

Brady is eligible to play immediately at South Dakota. His situation is closer to Stevenson's than Potter's is. I'm still hopeful Shamiel will be able to play on November 5th.

I don’t think it impacts it. SS leaves his first school because the new coach hired and him don’t gel so he transfers only to have his new schools coach leave. The guy has gotten a raw deal a couple times due to circumstances beyond his control.

I hope he gets a favorable ruling. One of my favorite players on this team and his presence on the boards will be needed this year.

We need his big body, for sure. Didn't see much of it in the open scrimmage, but he has the physique to hold his own on the glass.

Interesting that they submitted the waiver so late in the game.  Don't know that that has anything to do with how confident they are?

LJS Story on Shamiel Stevenson's waiver process drawing near its conclusion:

 

 

[hhcmatt]

Here is a list of guys who have been granted waivers this year and some research into the possible reason for why

 

Yellow Highlight = Team fired the coach

Red line = Obviously moving closer to home

Blue line = Seems like injury played a part

Red Question mark = technically closer to home but not really close to home

Black Question mark = Nothing publicly obvious

 

I think you have to have lived or grown up within 100 miles of a school for the NCAA to consider it a move closer to home so those red question marks are probably more like black question marks and thus Stevenson now being closer to Toronto than he was in Reno has probably no effect. At the end of the day it's probably him having been through two coaching changes in a year and maybe not playing much in 2018-19 as well.

@hhcmatt Do you know of any similar list of guys who were denied waivers? I figure we only hear about the guys who got them, but maybe there's a list of guys who didn't.

That's a very good question that I don't have the answer to. I'd assume with so many guys transferring and so many coaches changing jobs that there have been denials. Will Thomas Allen, Nana, or Amir request waivers and if so will they be granted?

[hhcmatt]

This seems like a good sign

Seems like, but 74 is a lot to work through in just a couple of weeks.

Of all the stock photos of SS that they could have used, they chose the one where he is fumbling the ball on an undefended dunk attempt?

Shows off the guns, though.

That picture makes me think of Russell Westbrook.

 

 

[Huskerpapa]

Does the timing of the request play any role?  I am wondering when we put in the application/request.
