Can anyone confirm that he will be eligible to Grad transfer next spring?

I'm sure that has everything to do with actually graduating first. If so, then I would think yes. But are we worried about that now?

Similar to Nigel Johnson, Sit one, Play one, Transfer to a contender. I hope that’s not the case but you have to wonder considering the logjam at guard we will have

Best players play.

I do not like college basketball being such a business at the extent of the players, but at this point, that's what it is.

Only at Rutgers are people posting about guys who haven't played a minute potentially transferring.

The kid seems to love his teammates already; not sure why this is a question.

It seems more likely that he is a vocal team leader that players rally around then a transfer candidate.

In Nigel's case, the coach who recruited him to come was no longer the coach when he actually played. So that likely factored in.

Trust me I hope Jacob Young is a star for us and has a key role in taking us back to the tourney. But I just meant strictly based on eligibility, it’s a possibility, same as Peter Kiss after next season. We’re going to have so many upperclassmen guards looking for minutes that season.

With any player far from home, anything is possible with a player's 5th year, but he has already been on a NCAA caliber program his 1st 2 years and had a starting caliber role at Texas.

Young has a brother in the NBA and a roster of underclassmen who can benefit from him being here. Obviously things change but unless he's just beaten out by better players, i don't see a scenario where Young leaves after just 1 year on the floor at RU.
