on the topic of roster management, I see that Semi Ojeleye is listed as a JR. I thought he would be a Soph this year, eligibility wise, and be able to play two more seasons after this year. If not, it is that much more critical that we sign a big for next year's class and find at least one or two more in the 2017 class. Looks like we will have plenty of competition for playing time at the guard and wing positions for several years to come.

Semi has 2 1/2 years to play. Second semester will take up the 1/2

I've read that Semi is a good student/smart kid so I assume he is a JR but eligibility wise has not finished his Soph season. Hopefully he will be around long enough to be playing as a graduate student. We still need to sign a quality big to play with him and Ben Moore next year (we need you, "little" brother)

I'm not trying to be paranoid, and I don't think I've ever seen this happen, but can a transfer, who has never suited up for the second school but is about to complete his one-year waiting period, transfer again and play for a third school on the same timeframe?

No he has to be a resident at that school for a year. Now Tolbert could theoretically transfer because he's a Senior and SMU is ineligible for Tournament in his last year
