How does enrolling early and playing basketball this season affect his eligibility? Does he still have 5 to play 4 starting in Sept 2021? I had never really thought about enrolling early for basketball, but I am kind of surprised that more one and done types don't do it. They could get into college S&C programs early and have 1.5 college seasons of tape before the NBA draft. I realize that it would mean they wouldn't play their senior season in high school.
This may be a unique year as well. Don't know about basketball but this year isn't counting against football eligibility.
If BB is the same it means he could come in, practice with the team and potentially even play and his eligibility would be just like he showed up on campus this summer like normal.

In Boulder, yes. But is he on campus?

He has good mechanics like I have said several times on this thread. He has not even reached half of his full potential. Could use more work on throwing the deep ball and with accuracy and decision making. I like his athletic ability. He is accurate on the run and on short and intermediate throws.
Maybe full time BB would be best.
Possibly. I don't know how eligibility works if he's a sophomore next year in football & wouldn't have played a counting season of hoops.
Like any other athlete he gets four years of eligibility which must be used in a period of five years. The calendar starts with his initial enrollment, even if he isn't participating in the sport at the time of enrollment.
Due to Covid last year doesn't count.
Since he appeared in a football game he counts against the football scholarship limit.
Bottom line is that his eligibility for both sports ends five years after initial enrollment.
Haven't we had WBB players join VB after their hoops career? That's what I thought I remembered and that there was some special rule.
They can as long as it is in the five year window.
If they were to play four years of hoops (no RS year) they would have one year of eligibility left to play VB or any other sport they choose.
The window can also be extended to six years if they can show they lost a season to long term injury. The NCAA used to be picky about those but lately seem to be approving almost all applications.
The only other exception to the five year window that I am familiar with is if the student athlete is not enrolled, not on campus or participating, and is involved in missionary work or some other purely religious function. This can add up to two years to the window (How BYU has sophomores who are bearded, bald, and have 3 kids.)
You dick, you did this on purpose didn't you?

Drew Carter didn't seem like he wasn't going to have a shot to be our starter with a few years to me. Dude is athletic and looked like he could throw it pretty good....
