I don't see a way forward for him on getting to play right away. I mean we are dealing with the NCAA so who knows but nothing I've heard or read shows any reason he will get a waiver to play immediately.

I don't blame Q for trying to get a waiver to play immediately because there's no harm in trying to get that waiver, but I seriously doubt it's granted.

That said, UH is a great spot for Grimes. When he's eligible, he'll be playing on the ball unlike here which is his natural position. The AAC is a step down from the B12 so his lack of natural athleticism won't be as noticable in that league.

I really think he can be an AAC POY if he stays through his senior year although I will admit that may not happen, but is more likely with him moving down to the high mid major level.
