Lots of moving parts on the first draft of the Eligibility Chart. Yesterday, Darrion Williams announced that he was going to enter the NBA Draft while still maintaining his college eligibility. He’s also going to enter the transfer portal. I’m not at all in “the know” so I presume that he’s looking at all of his options, which he should. I would expect a similar announcement from Toppin at some point. Federiko is still part of next year’s team as he has an extra year of eligibility because he played a year at JUCO ball, so there is a chance he could be back. Also, there are 13 scholarship spots for every team, so this is much easier to chart that football. The black blocks represent a year of eligibility and the red blocks represent a possible redshirt year. As an example, Akuentok is using up his redshirt year right now.
