Assuming we sign 7, which everyone seems to think we will, who do we lose to transfer? Herard specifically mentioned that we're losing our "only big man" after this season, so I assume Ndoye is out if we get Ado and Davis.

Ware is

obviously who he is talking about.

 

[esplanade91]

Obviously. But we don't have only one big man. I interpreted that as Ndoye was never in the discussion when Howland & Co. pitched MSU to Herard.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Well you

asked, of course it was obvious. I'm not sure if you watched us much last year, but Ndoye blows. I'd imagine (hope) he will be gone.

Ware is the "one big man." If Zappardo goes off and has an amazing season, how much does that factor into the numbers? He has an extra year of eligibility.

I have seen that he is a Sr in several places...honestly can not remember his situation though.

I think it's an issue of the "clock" running out on his 5 years to play 4. He sat out last year due to injury and sat out a year after he left USM, so his 5 years may be gone after this year. Not sure if there is any way to get around that 5 year limitation.

Figured he'd get a medical redshirt. Didn't realize he sat out a year before.

He can appeal to the NCAA for a 6th year after his senior season if both of the years he sat out were due to injury. The first medical redshirt is taken as just a regular redshirt season and the NCAA isn't involved. But if you miss a second season due to injury, and can legitimately document both year's were missed due to injury, it's pretty much automatic for the NCAA to approve a 6th season. So, he's listed as a SR this season, and assuming both years were missed due to legitimate injury, he'd be a SR again next season. Assuming we wanted him back and made the appeal.
