WELCOME JUSTYN FERNANDEZ!!!

[dr. gunnie]

Yep - wrong team. Justyn played last night.

 

[NewPatriot]

Pretty sure Fernandez plays on their post-grad squad and not the one playing right now.

Yeah don’t see Justyn anywhere

Sorry about that. Just realized he is post grad. Here are highlights from a game this last week.

[psyclone]

so do we play him this semester and only get 3.5 years from him?

Doubt that's the plan.

As expected he’s not expected to suit up.

 

[GMU79]

As expected he’s not expected to suit up.

Having him there/here already is pretty cool, though.

 

[GSII]

They might have a crowd at practices.

I've heard of this in football, but not so much in basketball. but since football doesnt have any games in the spring semester that count, its never an issue.
Is he officially enrolled and a fulltime student?
Is he officially on the roster?
Could he play if he and KE decided it was the right time?
Will he be on the bench tonight?
Curious what the rules are for this scenario

He is enrolled and taking classes.

I do believe that he is officially on the roster, as it seems he simply took over Kabimbas scholarship.

In theory he could play, but he would be wasting half-a-year of eligibility. He will not play.

I'd imagine he will be on the bench tonight.

Don't know the answers to all of this but didn't TJ Gadsden do this same thing last year?

And looks like he will be wearing number 14...

Interesting. I didn't realize that

 

[JPgmuswim]

He won’t be playing this year. I’d imagine since he’s enrolled and on the roster the remainder of the season would be viewed as a redshirt year.

 

[GMUgemini]

Interesting. I didn't realize that

Yeah. Gadsden was also doing a post-grad year and came in a year early.

This is cool because Fernandez will have half a season worth of college level workouts and get familiar with English’s offense and defense. Should pay dividends next year integrating into the lineup.

 

[MasonSAE4]

Would be absolutely insane to play him at all this year.

 

[Mason32]

Would be absolutely insane to play him at all this year.

You say that now, what if they win tonight and <REDACTED>. Could be an interesting decision since KE has very little faith in 98% of paulsen holdovers
