Godfrey to Memphis
- Thread starter kansascy
- Start date
Eligible immediately. Of course, he's not transferring to Iowa State, where all recruits are denied NCCA requests. He's transferring to Memphis, such a squeaky clean program.
I know this is said with some sarcasm, but we have had 3 players who have transferred that have been eligible immediately under Fred.
Not sure about Godfrey's situation, but with Fred, it was because of an NCAA rule. The three had graduated from their previous school. There was no appeal process or decision to be made by the NCAA. It was all legal from the start.
The story says it is because of APR issues at his old school. Is that automatic immediate eligibility or is a waiver required when it is a transfer due to the APR hammer dropping? I honestly don't know.
Also, this will be Godfrey's fourth team that he has played for in college. Has there ever been anyone else to do that?
Confirmed. The linked story didn't say that but this one does:

Still one of my all time favorite Cyclones. IIRC there were a few pretty awesome avatars of him on this board.
Surprised that he does not have bigger numbers at Southern. Despite his issues at ISU he looked like a guy that would eventually be a stud at ISU if he would have stayed out of trouble. 13 points and 9 rebounds is okay, but Southern isn't exactly Kansas.
