Quick clarification on the NCAA's JUCO waiver ruling:
Players must be within their 5-year eligibility clock to use the extra year. So, at least per the waiver's intent, those from the 2019 HS class & before would not be eligible (baring a hardship waiver). 2020 and beyond would. Per @chris_hummer
The #NJCAA and @NJCAA_Exec has the following statement on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors grant of a waiver.
