That's good. More players are being developed all the time yet there are too few NCAA teams. I hope they build successful programs.

He's actually moving much further. He's from Queensbury per his bio which is 100 miles. Queensbury is so close that Plattsburgh has a branch campus there.

or not

Occasionally you'll see players leave a team when there is a coaching change.

Please fill me in on how he is eligible to play immediately. I figured he would have to sit for a year for sure?

D1 to D1 = sit out a yr unless grad transfer....D3 to D1= lets get ready to rumble...…..I guess its because it just does not happen that often..

Man I had it backwards. I thought it was D1 to D3 = play right away. D1 to D1 = sit for one season (unless they’re a grad student) and D3 to D1 = sit for one season (to keep D1 programs from basically using D3 as a farm system.) Not sure where I got that idea and then I’m also surprised we don’t see more kids moving from D3 to D1.

Edit: here is some clarification, but still not sure if he’ll be able to play immediately (obviously, he’ll be able to practice.) https://www.ncaa.org/student-athletes/current/transfer-terms

[altazo]

Maybe he’s eligible immediately because he was not recruited to UWSP by their current head coach, but rather former coach Chris Brooks?

Connor Ryckman will be eligible to play in 2020-21. The last player I know of that went DIII to DI 1 sat out a year by playing ACHA. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/102041/mike-leone

This was my line of thinking and the last example I could think of as well.

Then again ....still don't see it much...…….

Last player I knew that went from D3 to D1 sat out a year also, https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/58939/joe-houk. My guess is that they gave him a full scholarship so that means it goes by the scholarship rules and like a D1 transfer to another D1 school has to wait a year unless they file and prove a good reason to be immediately eligible.

Jack Billings Transferred from Salve Regina to Niagara and had to sit out last year.

I believe Joe Houk was similar at UMass Lowell after transferring from hamilton.
