In all fairness, it appears that the NCAA waives penalties for 90-95% of all appeals. Why bother with having this process. Open the door for all. Especially since the door will be fully open for 21-22 season.

Item of note: Willy is the team rebound leader despite playing top of the key on offense. His high was yesterday against WMU after, I noticed, he had shaved off his beard. Not saying it means anything, but ....

Especially since the door will be fully open for 21-22 season. I agree. Really seems like this decision should have been made months ago, given the special circumstances of the 20-21 season.

Not saying it means anything, but .... Do you mean that he's now more aerodynamic when he soars above the rim due to less drag from his hair? lol

Not sure if this is new information, but I found this online today. Maybe we were trying for an appeal.

Player Status/Updated Notes Noah Waterman G out for season - Eligibility - 10/30/20 Waterman has been prohibited by the NCAA to participate in the 2020-21 season due to eligibility reasons Chances are good that above issue may soon be moot as I’ve read that the NCCA D-1 Committee will likely vote for a blanket waiver for this BB season.

Every team seems to have 1 or 2 players with this designation. Let’s hope tomorrow is a good day for him and all other transfers. We certainly can use him!

The following is from an MBB State Roundup article written by Tony Paul in the Detroit News. Nothing really new, essentially confirms that the Titans will likely soon have three additional big bodies to insert somewhere in the lineup:
Detroit Mercy picked up its first win of the season, beating Western Michigan, 67-57, on Saturday, following losses to Michigan State, Notre Dame and Kent State.
Interestingly, the Titans only used seven players all game — and one of those players, Brad Calipari, only played three minutes.
Detroit Mercy only played eight players in each of the first three games.
The depth is about to change, with junior forward Chris Brandon, last season's leading rebounder, getting close to returning from a wrist injury. Tulane 7-footer Buay Koka has joined the program and is eligible and should play soon, and Niagara 6-11 swingman Noah Waterman is expected to be declared immediately eligible Wednesday.
The NCAA could actually rule to make all transfers immediately eligible Wednesday, at least all the transfers that are still waiting. Most already had been approved.
Waterman might not have been available for many of the early season games anyway, as he's been among the Detroit Mercy players in contact-tracing protocol.
Despite the lack of depth, Detroit Mercy has held its own in the early going — and also despite poor shooting from junior guard Antoine Davis, who is making just 33% of his field goals this season, and 12% on 3-pointers.

Soon we will learn if things do go better with Koka.

Jeff Goodman, college basketball analyst, Tweets: D-1 Council has passed the proposal in which all transfers are now eligible to play this season, per source.

Excellent news. Like I said, if he can give us what he gave Tulane in his most productive year there, he'll be a big help.

Posted today - any idea what it means? Are they united, meaning no transfers? Besides Pink, who's the other missing player? Thompson?
