Saunders decided to transfer in the spring, reportedly over frustration with his new role in the spread scheme imported by first-year head coach Tim DeRuyter. "Fresno State is where Jalen wanted to be since high school, but there was a change of philosophy and a change of coaching staff that he no longer felt comfortable being there anymore," Saunders' father told the Fresno Bee in April. "He's been frustrated. Jalen does not fit in their new style of ball. He felt like that even if he stuck with it, he wouldn't progress."
Isn't this exactly the reason why the NCAA has a sit out a year transfer rule in the first place? How does this get appoved and Raymon's appeal on the basis of being closer to his family not? And if it's because of a change in coaching staffs, why wasn't Funderburk approved?
It's all a crock of . The NCAA is absolutely ridiculous. There really isn't a need for them, and frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't an NCAA down the road.
