Well, we are.

Yeah, I don't know how yet, but this will end up hurting us.

He only got approved because we lost Fox and Ihnen. If they had been healthy, they would've blocked it. #mnsports

 

[MennoSota]

The committee saw "North Carolina" and immediately approved it...

Ben Johnson spins the NCAA Waiver Wheel..............and he Wins!

most years, the Gophers spin the wheel and lose, and walk away with a box of Rice-A-Roni as a parting gift.

They'll probably find a way to vacate the season if that happens.

That's a bit of an exaggeration! Everyone knows it's a year supply of Rice-A-Roni.

Great news! This took so long I had forgotten it was even an issue.

Wasn't this expected? I think everyone knew Garcia was going to be able to play.

Still nice to hear. Other “sure things” were denied in the past. If he had to sit, we would have little besides Battle and the freshmen.

I think we will have a solid lineup in Payne, Garcia, Battle, Carrington and Cooper. No more injuries and we should compete.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Do we assume the basketball gods were appeased by the 2 season ending injuries so as not to punish us for this bit of good news? Or should be we walking on egg shells waiting for the other shoe to drop now that Garcia is eligible?

 

[jamiche]

As MN sports fans, we live on egg shells.

I think they're just a lot more lenient about approving these than they used to be and Garcia's story had much better circumstances than most for a waiver approval. I think the waiver would have been granted with or without the injuries.

Garcia's story is exactly what the waiver was written for originally.

Aren’t they the same thing?
