Fifth-Year Frenzy: Class of 2022 Eligibility Chaos Keeps Rolling

A Colorado ruling granting a fifth year to Class of 2022 athletes was paused by a 10th Circuit stay, temporarily restoring ineligibility unless players have separate TROs. However, state-court rulings (Louisiana, Kentucky) continue to allow some players to return or transfer, with examples like Luke Drzewiecki signing with Minnesota and Thomas Castellanos receiving a TRO. With more lawsuits anticipated as the season approaches, the chaos remains dynamic for both college football and basketball, and SEC transfer rules are under scrutiny as intraconference moves could be challenged.

Fifth-Year Comebacks on the Table for 2026 After NCAA Eligibility Ruling

A preliminary injunction by U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney opens the door for some 2022 recruiting-class players who exhausted four years and didn’t redshirt to return for a fifth season in 2026, though rules remain restrictive: they must return to the 2025 school (transfer portal closed), cannot have pro contracts, and programs aren’t obligated to create room. NCAA may appeal, which could affect the players’ eligibility again. CBS Sports profiles several potential returnees across programs like Florida State, Virginia, Texas, TCU, Ohio State, Kansas, Georgia, Arizona State, and Houston, explaining how feasible each comeback would be given rosters and constraints.

Court ruling could unlock fifth-year comebacks in college hoops

A Colorado court injunction could allow 2022 seniors to play a fifth season in 2026-27, triggering a second wave of lawsuits to regain college eligibility.

Notable names like Donovan Dent, Jordan Pope, Malik Reneau, Jaxon Kohler and Skyy Clark are pursuing eligibility, though roster limits and funding may limit some moves. Braden Smith is technically eligible but is not expected to return. The upheaval promises ongoing roster chaos across college basketball this offseason.
