If he ends up at Canisius, I'd like to see URI try to hit the Griffs with tampering

That article does not sound correct. It states that he only had 2 years of eligibility remaining at URI, and will only have one year left wherever he ends up, unless he is granted the waiver. My question is this: If he played one semester at UVA, and one semester at URI, for a total of one season, wouldn't he have had 3 years of eligibility at URI? Therefore, wouldn't that add a year to each of the article's transfer scenarios?

I thought theere's a rule that states you have 5 years to play 4...unless you get a waiver, so, if he already sat out a full year, if he has to sit another, that is a year used

Not sure why this is relevant, since he never played for the Bonnies. Regardless, sounds like a real class act.
What would be the reason for the waiver, that he'll miss his daddy?

Since Billy has only played one season and started in 2010, he'll have two years remaining without the waiver, three years with the waiver.

May-2012
Central Michigan coach Ernie Zeigler's son Trey gets waiver to transfer to Pitt with no sit out penalty after his father is fired by school. Trey had just completed his sophomore year.
Looks like Billy saw that and decided he could get a waiver as well.

This is good for Bill and JB. I am sure that at the beginning of last season, no one felt that JB's job was in jeopardy, and that is why he transferred to URI, believing he would play for his Dad.
This is good move for Canisius and JB, Bill is classy guard with a fine shooting touch, who will be a force in the MAAC, when he becomes eligible.
I talked with JB at the reunion, and he is upbeat on his latest rebuilding project at Canisius.
He has some inbound transfer talent, and is on the recruiting trail, and Bill will help. I wish him only the best, except when he plays us!!

What?!?! URI fans have calling for him to be fired for years. Welcome back to the bandwagon Cind E. Baron. Weird that we have recruits that back out at the age of 18, and are criticized for not honoring their word. Yet, the son of a patron saint, that also has his alleged guidance, turns away two programs in 2 years and someone claims it's a good move. Stay Classy Bill E. Non-Bonnie. |

Can't we all just get along? Seriously folks, who really cares what school Bill Barron transfers to or leaves? Besides, what is wrong with wanting to play for your father? Good father/son bonding. In a day in age of many boys not having a strong father influence in their lives I find this refreshing. You can tell the long, sleepy, humid nights are creeping into the Bandwagon. Go for a walk, ride a bke, play a round of golf, read a book a St. Francis, etc.

This article could have been written about thousands of college athletes and thousands more college coaches. What's the point? That's just the way things have become. Picking on one doesn't seem right. |

A large number of young men change their minds frequently. It's because many don't really know what they want. They're learning. I see no problem with him playing where he wants. It's his life, not the university's or ours. He has to live with his decisions and should do what he thinks is best.
