Does anyone know what happened to the kid from Miami that was possibly transferring to UMass?
Last I heard he was taking summer classes at UMass to become eligible. Have not heard if he made it.
Sweet
I thought that the NCAA made noise during the winter by outlawing grad student transfers.
I did too, but it seems that this is in force. From the NCAA website.
A student-athlete who is enrolled in a graduate or professional school of the college or university which he/she previously attended as an undergraduate student may participate in intercollegiate athletics, provided he/she has eligibility remaining and is within five calendar years of initial full-time collegiate enrollment for Division I and within the first ten full-time semesters of collegiate enrollment for Divisions II and III.
A student-athlete who has eligibility remaining and is within the specified five-year or ten-semester period also may participate while enrolled in a graduate or professional school at a Division I or II college or university other than the institution at which he/she completed an undergraduate degree, provided he/she meets the criteria of the one-time transfer exception to the general transfer residence requirement. That exception is as follows:
o The student-athlete must be seeking to participate in a sport other than Division I football, basketball and men's ice hockey, except that a student-athlete who seeks to participate in Division I-AA football may use this exception only if transferring from a Division I-A program.
What about Matt Goods who signed with us -

I think Goods and Vivieros, since they are not on the roster, will not be with UMass this season.
Not appearing on the roster in the past indicates a year of prep school for the player.
Apparently, we had a scholarship open up recently as we have signed Blake Vanderweil a LB from CA. See today's post.
Walkons may spend a year on the scout team.

The kid from Miami will not be at UMass this year. Also a couple other players are no longer with our team so we have a few scholarships left to offer.
