McRae was listed as a junior on the web site at the beginning of this year. Don't know if that is in terms of eligibility or scholastic progress. He graduated from DeMatha in June of 2002, so one would think he has two more years of eligibility remaining. Since he was eligible at the beginning of the second semester, it would seem that he would have played at least some for Wagner in the year after DW left. So at best he would have 2 1/2 years of eligibility upon entering Fordham. Since he just used up one of those, he should have three semesters of eligibility left. I don't know how the NCAA does these things, and perhaps if Corey is on track to graduate in June of 2006, you could see him as a Graduate Assistant after that, given his leadership qualities he might be pointing to a coaching career. Then DW would have another scholarship to give next recruiting season. This is just speculation. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

I asked McCrae about this during the pre-season dinner at the Water Club. He will be a senior next season. He played his freshman year at Wagner (that is one year), half a season at Wagner his sophomore year (two years) and half a season for us last year (three years). NCAA rules state that as long as you participate during a season and are not redshirted that the participation counts as a full season of participation. That is why I have never fully understood midyear transfers. They end up playing two half seasons which has to take away from the experience in my opinion and in essence robs them from a year of playing time. (NT) -- ace93, Sat April 09, 2005 16:28:02

Thanks for clearing that up. (NT) -- Upstate Ram, Sat April 09, 2005 17:27:28
