What did oldrunner have to say about Gaskin? Didn't see his post.
That he didn't think we'd get it. Did not say why.
My question: Can we appeal it if we don't get it? Geno Auriemma just did with a UConn player who transferred in from Tennessee but was denied the waiver.
I can see why Tennessee would object in that case, but not why Utah would in ours.
He said that it was his "understanding" that the first level of appeals had already all been processed. I've heard the opposite and the news over the course of past week bears this out. There have been multiple D1 players who received approval just in the days since Oldrunner made his post. Additionally, there was a Missoulian article just a few days ago that said the team was still waiting to hear from the NCAA re: Gaskin.
According to what I've heard from those close to the program, they are cautiously optimistic after what happened with Manuel last season, but know it could go either way...
