Syracuse basketball center Paschal Chukwu could apply for 6th season if he wants

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Paschal Chukwu hasn't thought much about attempting to gain back the Syracuse basketball season he missed with a serious eye injury. He said last week he would consider investigating the possibilities after the 2018-19 season.

How he would qualify for what would be a sixth year in a college basketball program requires the filing of paperwork for two different waivers.

First, some background:

Chukwu, the 7-foot-2 center, transferred from Providence College to Syracuse in June 2015. He played one year for the Friars.

He sat out the 2015-16 season as NCAA transfer rules mandate and had three seasons of college basketball eligibility remaining, starting in 2016-17.
