So how does this work? He graduates high school early, enrolls at Iona and is eligible to play immediately?
Pretty huge jump in competition in a very short period of time.

Guy re your comment on Shema redshirting this year. Will it matter since he has been granted another year. For example, if he only plays a couple of late season games (MAAC tourney etc.), he still has all of his eligibility. Is my understanding of this year's regs correct?

If Covid isn't brought under control the average age of the college basketball player is going to 32.

Correct, essentially everyone gets the year, but not sure if he gets another extra year by redshirting.

What a crazy year! Never expected this news. Hopefully he'll be able to give us some meaningful minutes come tournament time to help Nellie Jr. rest and keep out of foul trouble. I'm also wondering like Guy, if we'll be hearing some disappointing news on Shema. I already figured Brown was lost for the season.
Looking forward to seeing Trey on the court!

For those who aren't on Twitter, my SPECULATION: Agree, also might say something about the progress that Crafoord has made in practice

From RP: "As I'm sure you have heard, we are shut down because of a positive case within our staff. I'm not going to complain, as so many people are suffering. With both of our centers out, we are extremely thin upfront. Rob Brown has decided to go home and drop out of classes next semester. His rehabilitation will take place in Dallas. Rob is a transfer, and he is ahead academically. He will return for summer classes.
We will bring in Trey James from Kentucky. He has graduated and is eligible to play immediately. This decision accomplishes several things: We can develop our 6'10", 240-pound center and give him a head start in everything, including academics. Trey is a wonderful young man and will provide 5 fouls while he learns our system."

Coach Pitino really doesn't do coach speak: ''Trey is a wonderful young man and will provide 5 fouls while he learns our system." Classic!
