Did we ever get to a list of those 2020 players who have opted to come back in 2021 under the provision from NCAA that allowed them an additional season of eligibility due to the pandemic impacts to the 2020 season? I know we speculated about many, just wondering if there was an official list or announcement?

I believe the posted 2021 roster on UTRockets.com is accurate. Almost all are returning except Seymour and all players classes were frozen. For example - Hines is still a JR.

thanks, I was just not sure how to determine which players will have a 5th (or 6th) extra year due to the NCAA 2020 pandemic ruling.

Which goes back to our previous discussion about willingness of the player to return and ability of Athletics to pay for the extra scholarship or absorb the additional costs-as I recall those were factors we discussed, but perhaps none came to fruition?

Man, what happened to Seymore. He was an animal in the brief action he saw. His mom passed and he just disappeared.
