June 11, 200917 yr Both guys are unfortunate to have come to UK with certain expectations promised by Billy Clyde. Those expectations vanish with the changing of the guard at UK. This is a situation where the NCAA's established transfer rules are very unfair to the players. These circumstances are totally out of their control. Am I right in assuming that Kevin Galloway will be forced to go NAIA or Division II or less to have a senior season? If Matt Pilgram tries another Division I school, will he have just two years eligibility remaining?
June 11, 200917 yr From what I was told Pilgrim was at least 20 pounds overweight and was enjoying life in Lexington more than his fair share. As I have said on here for a year Matt is a talented kid that could wow you in ways that never translated to actual big time D1 production. Big time talent, small time reality of what it would take to make it happen...
June 11, 200917 yr It should really affect Pilgrim at all because he redshirted? Right? My thinking is that he sat as a transfer last season and will sit as a transfer this season if he goes to a NCAA Division I school. It is like getting two redshirts in which one counts as a played without playing season. It's 5 years to play 4. With Matt Pilgram, it will be 5 to play 3 unless he goes small.
June 11, 200917 yr So far I have been correct with the players leaving ... I think one more is going to join them. Just my opinion.

Doesn't seem right to me. If he didn't play last year, he should be able to transfer to wherever he wants to play this upcoming season.

June 11, 200917 yr If in fact in the rules these guys would have to sit out another year I think they both drop down so they do not have to sit out.
June 11, 200917 yr You said this about Pilgrim all along. Where do you think he lands? Depends on if he can get a waiver to play right away...
June 11, 200917 yr Depends on if he can get a waiver to play right away... The NCAA gets it wrong most of the time but I think he will get one.
June 11, 200917 yr The NCAA gets it wrong most of the time but I think he will get one. I hope so. Seems unfair if he doesn't. Good luck to both young men.
