I really think it could go either way.
It's good that he's not the only player impacted by this decision, groups of players have always had better luck than just one guy. But I dunno, a full on blanket ruling that JuCo years don't count would have some pretty significant implications.
I think the best bet is that the NCAA grants a one-time exemption for anyone that went to Juco around the covid years. I think you could make a pretty good case that travel restrictions, game restrictions, etc. made it hard for players to move around during those years.
In Agee's case, he redshirted in '20, then played one game in '21. He can't really visit campuses, some staffs couldn't travel, etc. Budgets were extremely limited. Is a D1 school really going to offer him?
I honestly can't decide where I land on whether or not Juco years should count moving forward, but I don't think it's unreasonable to give players a waiver that were Juco players from say 2020 to 2023.

how much will his name factor into the decision?
I'm coming around on the juco not counting, and while we're at it, let's let anyone with eligibility remaining the opportunity to come back, let DeAndre come back and play a few more seasons while he works towards a degree.
In all seriousness, juco is not the same as playing and/or being enrolled at a DI/DII…let guys go play a year or two at the juco level without it counting against their eligibility.

I disagree but I hope that he qualifies anyways.
I see it differently as a father of 2 boys trying to play HS basketball.
Both will graduate HS at 17.
Yet, guys still hanging around til 25 in college. They don't make room for the next generation. Rarely can 18 compete with 25 yr old men in basketball. They Just clogging sheet up for others to have an opportunity.

It's a complicated deal, both philosophically of what college sports *should* be and legally of what anyone can actually enforce. I wish we could speed run through this part of it until it's all settled because it's not particularly fun as a fan to keep track of.

Agreed on this but also selfishly want Agee to play on our team and not your sons.

I guess it's possible.

Seems unlikely.
Agee ruling date?
I don't think anybody knows when. Luke said it's 50/50 on whether he gets the waiver.
Whats less soul crushing? "Ruled out of eligibility" or like "stepped on a sea urchin"?
Hardworking, Unselfish, Fearless
Sea urchin definitely has the crushing feel of "why does this kind of s*** only happen to Aggie fans"
