Another immediately eligible transfer:  Quentin Grimes -- Texas native and five star recruit -- went to Kansas for a year, declared and later withdrew from the NBA draft to transfer to Houston.  Declared eligible today.

Calm down boys. These things are addressed serially once the NCAA receives the appeal. First in first out. Not sure when Amir filed his appeal. There are many and they didn't turn to basketball until all the fall sports appeals were completed in late August. You only have to know prior to November 5th. We will hear something official soon.

The thing about this case is that there was no scholarship to return to even if Quentin Grimes wanted to come back to Kansas.  They had already used that scholarship on someone else.  Wasn't it the case that Amir was told there was no scholarship for him anymore at Nebraska?

GW0509, Nebraska agreed to keep Amir on scholarship while throwing him off of the team.  That scholarship would not have counted towards the basketball allotment since he would no longer be playing basketball.  They would have found a way to make it an academic scholarship or some other type.  It's a somewhat ridiculous gesture since Amir is healthy and wants to play basketball.  He could have theoretically given up his basketball career and remained a Nebraska student for three more years on scholarship.  Unless I am missing something, Amir's circumstance is exactly the same as Brady Heiman, whose waiver was recently approved.  Unless there's an unknown piece of information out there, I don't know how even the misguided NCAA can say yes to Brady and no to Amir.

The Prospectus also says Sloan Seymour will sit out, but no mention of sitting out in Ace Stalling's bio. Do we know if Ace was granted a waiver, or was he immediately eligible?

As I stated the NCAA moves on its own clock. Most of these will be resolved in the next 2 weeks. Some may linger beyond that. Some are technicalities such as incomplete paperwork.

Update:Jeff Goodman  @GoodmanHoops10m My unofficial transfer waiver tally:
Approved: 46
Denied: 8
Still Waiting: 67

The question was asked pre-game to Assistant Coach Ryan Devlin in the Colonials Club.  There has been no update as of yesterday.  The NCAA has until Tuesday.

The NCAA has as long as it wants to take unfortunately. Perhaps today we will know something.

Amir is listed on the roster on the school´s website and named in the press release about the game. HOWEVER, the school has not posted game notes online and Amir has been on the official roster for a long time without his eligibility status being known. The NCAA is much like the revolutionary leader in the Woody Allen movie "Bananas" declaring "all children under 16 years of age are now...16 years of age. The official language of San Marcos is now Sweedish. Underwear will be changed every 30 minnutes. Underwear will be worn on the outside, so we can check." It would be farcical if not for the damage this does to the programme and to Amir...

Waiting to find out Amir's status like
