Just like others that have poster, I know. The NCAA can grant you a release, but it has to be some extreme circumstances. I could sit out a year because I wasn't going to be a starter anyway, if you don't have a year to give up to the NCAA, you are just about stuck. You can not opt out of your LOI.

The NCAA has a policy for the "Qualified Release Agreement" in which the School and Player can MUTUALLY agree to release both parties of their duties required by the LOI. There is NO other policy in the LOI framework to allow for the release by NCAA rules. Any agreement reached about the ability to be released from the LOI would be verbal only and would still require the Qualified Release Agreement to be reached by both player and school.

He's a natural scorer that would help tremendously compensating for DJ/EJ's soon-to-be-gone 35+ per night. Some scouts say he's the best player in the country with the ball, and has a skillset that projects tremendously at the next level. The thought that we can take or leave a talent like Ebanks, especially with the current state of Hoosier basketball, is completely misguided.<br><br>The good news is he and his mother have stated he won't make any decisions until they speak with the new coach. That's just one more reason to perform an efficient search (unlike last time) and get the right HC in Bloomington as soon as possible.
