MEMPHIS — Troubling news for the Tigers, Penny Hardaway and talented transfer Landers Nolley as that one time transfer waiver that was expected to be voted in at the end of May, making Nolley eligible immediately at the U of M, now looks much less likely.

The NCAA Board of Directors saying Thursday that it does not recommend making changes to the transfer process at this time due to the Covid 19 pandemic and without it, players like Nolley would still have to sit out a year unless they apply and receive a hardship waiver.


Those are tough to come by.
