Miles Overton to Transfer from Wake Forest

So much bad information. This took sooooo long to find.

Yes the NCAA does recognize academic semesters.


"As a 4-4 transfer, generally you are not eligible to play at the new four-year school until you spend an academic year in residence
at that new school. "

"Five-year clock — If you play at a Division I school, you
have five-calendar years in which to play four seasons of
competition. Your five-year clock starts when you enroll
as a full-time student at any college. Thereafter, your
clock continues, even if you spend an academic year in
residence as a result of transferring, decide to red shirt,
if you do not attend school or even if you go part-time
during your college career. "

"Sitting out — or academic year in residence — Under
the basic transfer regulations, you must spend an
academic year in residence at the school to which you
are transferring. If you transfer from a four-year college to
an NCAA school, you must complete one academic year
in residence at the new school before you can play for or
receive travel expenses from the new school, unless you
qualify for a transfer exception or waiver. To satisfy an
academic year in residence, you must be enrolled in and
successfully complete a full-time program of studies for
two-full semesters or three-full quarters. Summer school
terms and part-time enrollment do not count toward
fulfilling an academic year in residence."

ETA: Overton has 5 years to complete 4. He must sit out an academic year, which the NCAA equates to two semesters or 3 quarters (I guess 3 is a quarter - them not me). There are exception rules that allow players to become eligible with out sitting out a year, but I don't think Overton even is in consideration for those. You cannot redshirt if you play at all.

So, Miles will still have 2.5 years of eligibility. Thanks, Deac83
 
Seems about right. Best of luck to him.
 
Good school and level of basketball closer to his ability level. Best of luck to him.
 
So, we had transfers to George Washington, Towson and Drexel.
 
Bottom dwelling Colonial team with one player shooting over 28% from deep? Makes sense I guess. Maybe Overton can get them a win against the DII University of the Sciences team they lost to this year. When he hits a bunch of threes against them I look forward to hearing how Wake really could have used him.

Happy for him. Naturally, I don't blame him in the least for wanting get away from [name redacted]. But I'll bet he would have loved to play for DM.

He would have graduated before Manning got here. Was win McKie's class.

I agree. We would have won more games with Carson this season. Probably more with Moto and possibly even Chase as well. Weigh that against the opportunity for more playing time for our existing roster and it's probably a wash. Unless one of our big recruiting targets would be swayed against committing to a team with a sub-500 record.... vs a team that was on the cusp of the postseason. I don't think that's the case but you can't predict how ALL of these top recruits are thinking.
