He had two years at Buffalo and on his second year at Iowa State. Originally, the junior college year was his 5th year (covid year). If the junior college year now does not count against his eligibility, he will seemingly have one more year left.
Curtis Jones question
- Thread starter Drew0311
- Start date
Based on the judge's order and it is only for athletes that are using up their eligibility this season.
This is what I don’t follow. Will he not have spent 4 years of D1 eligibility between Buffalo and Iowa State?
Seems like the JuCO ruling doesn’t really matter because it was same as COVID year which (prior to the recent decision) is the only reason he’s eligible this year.
So nothing has really changed looking at it that way.
I’m obviously missing something.
Im sure Williams and Blum will touch on it this week. It is an enormous development! CuJo back would quite frankly be bigger than us landing a top 5 (5 star) recruit in the country. Im sure he would widely be considered one of the top 10ish returning players in college basketball.
I agree.
Technically the COVID thing didn't grant an additional year of eligibility, it just said that the 2020-21 season wouldn't count so players who didn't play wouldn't be hurt, but eventually just about everyone played. So 2020-21 already didn't count for Curtis. That's why he was eligible this year.
I don't see how the ruling helps him at all, but would love to be wrong...
