Transfers Out Not Limited to Hoops

If he does not turn the soccer program completely around for the upcoming season, it should be his last. He has the facilities to succeed.

1. WW2
2. Korean War
3. Coronavirus
4. Not sure.

When you look back at the volume of transfers/dropouts of students; and athletes specifically; the 3 events listed above are going to be the top 3 causes, in that order. Expect many, many changes and many, many rules to be suspended/altered.

Study abroad definitely going to take a hit for a few years.

I imagine you know how the rule works, but for those who don't, it's not always automatic.    Three conditions to be allowed to transfer and not sit a year:

1.  Athlete must be given permission by the school he/she is transferring from.   While it's unusual for a school not to give permission, it is not unheard of - particularly if the athlete created disciplinary problems or if the school feels there was tampering by the school to which the athlete may be transferring.   One Patriot League example:   Not too many years ago, Navy got a late commitment from a very good soccer player - one who had a number of good offers but delayed committing and ended up without a spot at a high level school she wanted.   She played a year for Navy, got ROY award, and then decided to transfer.   Navy was not happy, reportedly thought her acceptance of a spot had not been made in good faith, and refused to grant a transfer waiver.   Thus she had to sit a year at Florida State and ultimately dropped down a level.

2.  Athlete must be in good academic standing when transferring.

3.  It must be the athlete's first transfer.

Yes. Probably both sides deserve blame in this situation.

BTW, I made an error in the original post. She actually transferred out after one semester (plus plebe summer). Did not even stay a full year.

Does anyone know if Jack Ostrovsky transferred out? I don't see him on the roster. He played a lot as a Freshman. Could it be with no season kids are transferring out?

Jack ostrosky was a freshman soccer player last season

Ostrosky is from Holden. He may have withdrawn for the fall semester, which would leave him with three years of eligibility, assuming no spring soccer. And if there is spring soccer, he re-enrolls for the spring semester.

Most of the rosters are up to date including frosh recruits for 2020-21 teams - I fall on the side of concern about some of our players from the '19 roster not showing up on the '20 roster that's been posted. Another departure might be Dylan Scanley who was one of our leading scorers last season and he's missing from the roster now - Also, we only have 3 frosh and that's an extremely low number. Maybe having no season is a blessing in disguise.

I do not know.  There are variables that come into play with respect to a student who lives within communing distance of the school, and plays a sport where the number of full merit scollies are comparatively few.  e.g., as to whether the student is receiving no aid, need-based aid, or merit aid.
