Question: Would Mitchell, Touissant, etc. been allowed to transfer (per NCAA rules).....

[MountaineerWV]

.....if Huggs was simply "suspended indefinately"? With the final decision not happening until the end of the season? Seems like when Huggs resigned/fired, it opened the door under the NCAA transfer rules to allow the guys to enter the portal. I'm I wrong in understanding that rule?

The portal opened when he was fired/resigned and it wouldn't have otherwise. But any grad transfer can leave at any time.

Ok. So Mitchell and Touissant could have left regardless?

Mitchell left because of the millions he was offered at Kentucky.

Huggs transgression opened the door for Mitchell to be poached by Cal. AGAIN another premier player bought by a "friend" of Huggs. 7 days after the incident, Cal picks off one of the best players on the team. This time Cal didn't have to send his son to do the dirty.

Yes. But that's not my question. Would he have been allowed if there wasn't a coaching change?

He was going to Kentucky so there would be no rules involved.

Wouldn't surprise me if he had talked to him before Huggins stupidity.
