Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 11:36 amI don't get it. Didn't he transfer from Duke after .5 season?

Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 11:39 ammy mistake.
13-14 = 1 season played
14-15 = .5 season played, .5 season sat out
15-16 = 1 season sat out
16-17 = 1 season played
17-18 = 1 season played
so, is this just so he can play two full seasons here rather than half the 17-18 season?

For some reason I thought he only played a half season at duke...my bad as well.

Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 11:46 amYes, smart move. Says a lot about Semi. You know he wants to get out there now but he's doing what's best for everyone. It's gotta be tough for a healthy athlete to sit out for a year and a half.

Re: Rothstein: Semi Ojeleye will red shirt
Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 11:47 amOnce you play a game it counts as a full season. There are no .5 seasons. We were all a little confused on that. So in essence he played two seasons at Duke.
Re: Rothstein: Semi Ojeleye will red shirt
Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 11:47 amHe did only play half a year at duke. HOWEVER, you lose a year of eligibility for every year you play in. You can't play half a year and half a year and have it count as one. It counts as two.
That's why he's been listed as an RS JR this whole time and not a RS SO

Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 11:57 amI think the NCAA does that to discourage transfers in the middle of the year-and you know it really shouldn't be encouraged.
Re: Rothstein: Semi Ojeleye will red shirt
Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 12:00 pmWow! Knowing that he has to be lamenting his mid-season transfer. He lost 0.5 seasons of eligibility on a national championship team no less.

Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 12:03 pmI know he's been practicing and all and will be well versed in the "LB system next year, but the kid is going to HAVE to be RUUUUSTY after sitting out 2 years.

Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 12:05 pm@JonRothstein Don't kid yourself, this dude is smart. Also sets him up to have a full year as a grad transfer as well if he wants to do it
