🏀 Homesick, and a deep backcourt, led UK swingman Jemarl Baker to transfer. Do you think he was granted immediate eligibility?

[TerryP]

Rhetorical question of course.

Baker, a California native, has acknowledged in interviews being homesick while living so far from home. He also faced competition from a crowded backcourt for minutes next season with freshman point guards Quickley and Ashton Hagans set to return and five-star 2019 guard signee Tyrese Maxey arriving this summer. Kentucky also features three wing players who can play on the perimeter in the 2019 class, including five-star recruits Khalil Whitney and Keion Brooks.

This is such horseshit!!!! A kid gets homesick and is granted immediate eligibility, while multiple kids are denied because of a sick or dying relative, or even abuse or misuse by his coach.

The NCAA has absolutely no credibility with their wavers. No consistency in any way, shape or form.
