I don't know the answer for sure, but that would seem completely counterproductive to penalize teams for graduating players early,...... but then again, the NCAA has never been accused of actually caring about the welfare of the players.

You just have to be making normal academic progress towards graduation in normal transfers. Pretty much 12 credits a semester
So should we not talk about Fred leaving for the NBA until it happens? Or have 10,000+ posts about a potential recruit that is still in HS but hasn't committed or signed?
Niagara and Antoine Mason's season is now over. They lost last night in their conference tournament. Niagara finished 7-26 and dead last in conference. You'd have to think he is going to transfer not only to improve his draft stock but to get on a team that is not awful. The 2 next best players after Mason are both seniors, so I can't see them getting any better next year.
Do we have a shot at Mason? I'd like to think so with how successful we have been with our transfers. Also Mason's older brother played at St Johns when coach MattA was a grad assistant there. So I'd imagine there is a connection that a lot other schools won't have. Also Cameron Fowler plays for Niagara, he still talks a lot with our guys on twitter so hopefully he'd put in a good word for us too.
Here are Mason's stats in his conference tournament.
Game 1 - 38 pts, 6 rebs, 4 asts
Game 2 - 28 pts, 5 rebs, 1 ast

Holy ****. I think he comes to ISU. Dead serious,
Fourth straight newcomer of the year.
Interested by your optimism, but other than some posters bringing this guy up, doesn't the article say they dont know if he'll return or not? And have we heard anything from the home coaching front whether he's even been discussed?
His dad has high hopes for him to make the NBA, but he needs to work on his jump shot.
Will see what happens but I am guessing his dad will want him to go where he can work on that.
Hoiberg runs NBA sets, and kids are encouraged to shoot jump shots.
If the kid does transfer out, I think he comes to Ames.
I don't think anybody's mentioned this but ex Cyclone Cam Fowler is on the same Niagara team as Antoine Mason.
