He transfered from Coastal Carolina to Virginia Tech to be closer to his Mother who lives in Stateville NC while she recovers from acoustic Neurcoma surgery. A large tumor was pressing against her brain stem.
Virginia Tech is 105 miles from his home, he was denied immediate eligibility becasuse of the ''100 mile rule''. He lives 5 miles farther from VT than the distance requirement.
This is FAR worse than allowing players to transfer without sitting out for minor reasons like we've seen of late in my view of things. If you've ever driven from Stateville to Blacksburg you might know it's some of the easiest interstate miles to drive in the east. There isn't a single congested area you can drive that 105 miles easily in 1,5 hours. Contrast that with driving from Coastal just outside Myrtle Beach to Statesville, it can take 45 minutes just to get through Florence this time of year.
His case is on appeal, give the kid his waver you heartless old bastards.
