JoshuaG Posted April 4, 2017 Group: Member Topic Count: 19 Content Count: 707 Reputation: 70 Days Won: 1 Joined: 04/28/2014 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I have been trying to find a transfer rule resource for the AAC but I haven't. What I have read suggests that he will have to sit out a year and potentially then lose a year of eligibility on the back end. That being said, reports from McBuckets stated that he would be eligible to play for SMU by December of 2017. This may be because he transitioned to a JUCO school after leaving us but I can not be certain. If Juwan wanted to transfer to us but had to sit for 2 years after, I would find that very strange.

If you go to a Juco you can work your way around this (The 4-2-4 rule) but you do lose 2 years of eligibility to transfer with in the AAC. You sit one before you can play and just out right lose a second. http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/bulls/athletes-can-transfer-within-american-but-at-a-cost/2137227 Edited April 4, 2017 by Bull Dozer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're saying i thought true also.... and JMM does fit that. He'll sit out a year and then also lose an extra year of eligibility with 2018 being his final year.

JoshuaG Posted April 4, 2017 Group: Member Topic Count: 19 Content Count: 707 Reputation: 70 Days Won: 1 Joined: 04/28/2014 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I would have thought that he would have to sit out the following eligible school year, not a running calendar year. The nuances of this are killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same as the NCAA rule, 1 year from when he leaves his previous school .... and I assume all the classes he's had here will transfer to his JUCO to help give him his AA degree before next year.

I understand he would have to sit out a year and lose one eligible season while doing so. That means he would still have 2 seasons to play at USF and if he can get healthy that is plenty of time to leave his mark on his hometown school. If he was to go the JC route first he would have to earn an associate degree that would preserve his year of eligibility thus giving him 3 seasons instead of two. Juwan before the injuries was a guy that some projected as a possible 1 and done player, so I'm sure he still believes he can get to the next level and losing a year probably doesn't matter to him.
