In response to MrPhillie
I wonder what changed for OSU to want him immediately available. According to an article, the plan was always for Jimmy to sit out a year and help a young backcourt in 21-22.
Two things:
1. Even if the plan is for him to sit, if they get the waiver then he is available to take over if a starting guard gets a serious injury.
2. With the NCAA ruling giving athletes an extra year of eligibility, even if he plays this year he can still also play next year. If he doesn't play this year, he may be able to play two years in 2021-22 and 2022-23 (not sure) - but he may not want to stay two more years after this year.
