    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Kevin Kruger became the first college basketball player to use a new rule that allows players to transfer without sitting out a year as long as they graduated and have one year of eligibility remaining.

    Kruger, the top returning scorer for Arizona State, graduated this week after the first summer session. Once he had his degree, he informed Sun Devils coach Herb Sendek that he was off to play for his father, Lon Kruger, at UNLV next season. Kruger redshirted his first season at ASU.

    Kruger is using widely scrutinized Rule 2005-54, which states: "To permit a student-athlete who is enrolled in a specific graduate degree program of an institution other than the institution from which he or she previously received a baccalaureate degree to participate in intercollegiate athletics regardless of any previous transfer."

    The rule's intent is to allow students who have graduated in four years (and have one year of eligibility remaining) to transfer to attend graduate school.</div>

    Well this is the first player to test the new transfer rule. As you can see, he's not an all-american but he's a decent player. At least he has a good reason, to play for his dad.
