Also, crappy boring APR question: Is the 2.6 rule only for transfers or does it apply if someone just doesn't play/go to school at all next season? Because, Gilbert will probably not play at all next year...right?
excellent question. i'm sure the answer is nowhere to be found in the ncaa info.
i'm pretty sure it would apply if he plays pro - anywhere at any level. or if he attends school, anywhere whether he plays or not. if he gets a job or whatever, i have no idea.
it would be great to have him above a 2.6, but if not, no big deal. walker and beasley presumably are above a 2.6, so a single reg. transfer would be fine. the key is just that he's in good academic standing.
he's not a retard, so he should be good unless he decided to fail classes to revenge himself on the coaching staff.
