Winter Sports Athletes Granted An Extra Year Of Eligibility

Some of you may have seen this. Last week the NCAA has granted an extra year of eligibility for all winter sports athletes including basketball.  Those players who have exhausted their eligibility (players like Hughes, Weathers and TDM should they decide to return next year) will not be counted against 13 player max roster.

Re: Winter Sports Athletes Granted An Extra Year Of Eligibility

We will be loaded next year if the guys decide to come back. I could see Weathers and Hughes getting pro interest, if not from the NBA than certainly overseas. If they do come back though, it would definitely be the most talented roster we've had in decades (and one of the most experienced) to go along with the best coach we've had in that time. The hardest thing might be getting under the 13 limit for this year. If we can figure that out, next year will be easy (except for actually having expectations for the first time in possibly that long too).
1) Hughes
2) Weathers
3) TDM
4) Rotroff
5) Sincere
6) Norman
7) Kelly
8) Austin
9) Harris
10) Baker
11) Roesing
12) Acuff
13) Okani
14) Bekelja

If you include Hima (not in your count) and everybody is on scholarship next year we would still have one scholarship left to give.  Hughes, Weathers and TDM would not be counted towards the 13 player limit.  This could explain our limited offers for next year.  KD is a recruiting wizard.

Speaking of Pros...Go to Cleveland.com. and type this in.
Excellent article on LeBron with Coach D. mentioned often.

Three teams and four titles later, remembering LeBron James as ‘A Kid from Akron’ – Terry Pluto

Or, they get on with their life calling, be it pro ball or in the workforce.

If you look closely, you'll see I said the hardest part may be getting under the limit for THIS year. This rule could help us big time next year though.

I understood your post.  I was just pointing out the impact on recruiting, not criticizing or disputing your post. Peace.
