I guess his chances are slim...
Him not playing last year was beyond his control (I don't know if the NCAA will see it that way though).
Bleed Keaney Blue!

Him not playing last year was in his control. He wasn’t academically eligible. He didn’t graduate from Junior College and he didn’t have the appropriate number of credits. He has one year left.
Regardless of whether he could get a sixth year or not - He's going to be 23 in July, so, 24 essentially after the end of next season. I don't know if he has like, pro potential in Europe, but if he does, I imagine it's in his best interest to do so, rather than playing another year of college basketball.
Do we know if Sheppard will now be eligible for an additional year? I keep hearing that this year won't count toward certain eligibility but I'm not sure how real that is.

Given what he’s been through I hope he is. We would have a great backcourt even with the loss of Fatts.

Every single player in the country is awarded an extra year if they want it.
