Oregon transfer Dominic Artis will not play this season, but will attend classes, workouts and practice at Diablo Valley College in California. By sitting this year, Artis will keep his remaining two years of eligibility and will be able to transfer back to the Division 1 level as long as meets all of the NCAA requirements for junior college transfers. He will have to transfer his credit hours from Oregon into Diablo Valley and will basically be deemed as a junior college transfer. He will have to meet GPA and credit hour requirements like any other JC transfer.
