Assuming he'll be transferring to Gonzaga, he'll be eligible for the 2014-15 season, right? There hardship waivers are being handed out too liberally these days. I understand that players might have sick relatives back home, but even if that's the case, wouldn't you want to sit out a year and have more time to spend with that relative? I'm not trying to be insensitive, but it seems to me like a lot of guys use family illness (or similar situations) as an excuse to get out of unfavorable situations and play immediately after transferring. That, and the grad school rule, have really started to be used excessively. I have less problem with the grad school rule though, because at least it places an emphasis on the player's education.
