I wasn't saying that. Sorry if you misunderstood.
I meant he could play a grad year if he redshirts this season. You can also play a grad year if you've redshirted and then transferred. You can play right away in that scenario without sitting out.
You only have a 5 year clock with the NCAA with a few exceptions.
You can Greg Paulus it by playing 5 years of college athletics and no redshirt, but the last season has to be of a different sport.
Bottomline, either Amile plays this season and he leaves the program a Duke grad and alum, or he sits out and shirts.
