UK boards are reporting Arnett Moultrie to MSU...
- Thread starter captaindawg
- Start date
<div class="messagebody">That is HUGE news!!
He will most likely be the featured post player in 11-12 since Sidney will be gone, Augustus will be gone, and the other options are Bailey, Riek, or Lewis.
It isnt every day(or even every 10 years) that you get a post player with NBA size and a projected 1st rounder to transfer into your program.
I assume he wont be able to play right away, even with the rumored valid transfer reason?
Itd be great if we got him right away, but keeping him until next year will help the team then too since wewould have benwoefully short on talent in the post at that point.</div>

I am continually amazed at how confused so many become when it comes to transfer rules.
for me. So even if he is released, NCAA requires him to sit out a year? If so, why do people even report on if he is being released or not? scholarship issue?
The NCAA can grant a hardship waiver and let him play this year. That is what MSU will try to do. The same thing happened in football when Michael Brown transferred to MSU from Florida and was able to play immediately. Moultrie is from Memphis and his mother lives there. It is possible, but I don't see the NCAA helping us out much.
in the June summer school? My understanding was that he was about to then he had thoughts of taking visits this summer before deciding. Regardless great addition to the 2011 class.
If the NCAA was to grant him a hardship to play this year, are you saying that because UTEP didn't release him, and he could pay his own way because of multiple options, he couldn't compete until the year after?
Edited to add: I read somewhere, maybe BDJ, that said that if he was cleared to play this year, someone on the MSU roster would have to be cut.

Bost and Moultrie play this year.
PG: Bost
SG: Bryant
SF: Ravern
PF: Sidney
C: Moultrie
Augustus off the bench. That's at least 4guys who will play professionally somewhere. 2 in the NBA.
