So, while most leagues are allowing graduating seniors on spring '20 teams to come back as grad students and play, the Ivies will stick to their rule that grad students can't play. That said, the top pick in Major League Lacrosse was a Yale face-off guy, TD Ierlan, who broke Eric Baptiste's records for face-offs and groundballs won just in the first 4 games this year. However, Ieran transferred from Albany after his sophomore year, so while this was going to be his last year of eligibility, he needed another term to graduate. The same day as the MLL draft, he received confirmation that he could play next year for Yale if he withdraws for the Fall term and finishes in the Spring of '21. Yale still ended up with 3 or 4 top 10 picks in the Professional Lacrosse League. A few of those guys are now talking about transferring to another school to gain eligibility as grad students, including the captain.
