And those pro examples are trades--not a player quitting on his team, whatever the justifiable reasons for it.

But he probably couldn't have stuck around as a second stringer because, assuming Lawrence never lost the job, Kelly would be at risk of playing in an additional game and burning his final year of eligibility. I doubt Dabo would permit Kelly to remain on the scout team while refusing to play in a game. That would be a major team distraction.

The caveat to that is I don't know if the NCAA made the ability to redshirt after playing no more than four games retroactive. He only played 4 games as a sophomore, so it's possible that preserved a fifth year regardless of his 2018 participation.
