'13 FL RB Greg Bryant (R.I.P.)

[johnnycando]

OMG, please don't do this all week long.

Agreed.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

OMG, please don't do this all week long.

This. Thank you.

OMG!!!!!!!!!! Quit bumping his thread. This is ridiculous. He didn't get any touches because he did not get any touches. Tune in next week for an update.

Word, quit bumping this thread!

No, seriously though, I agree with this. Kid will see the field when he's ready. The staff is going to put their best players/best prepared players on the field regardless of star power. Forget the hype and trust that Bryant will one day be ready. I would actually not mind if this thread got locked until Bryant got some meaningful action.

“@jeffgreer: 2 things I know: (1) Greg Bryant's dad is telling people here his son is redshirting, which would require an appeal for an injury-related RS”

“@jeffgreer: (2) Folks at #NotreDame say that's not accurate, that Greg still sees a lot of practice action. There's a big push from fans to involve him.”

Honestly, a redshirt might not be a bad idea at this point, especially if he's having trouble learning the offense and if we don't have a top RB coming in next year. But can he do it? He has appeared - if sparingly - in four games.
Anyone know the rules on that?

FWIW, Kelly did apparently say something today about a knee injury suffered last week.

He bumped it on the corner of the bench?

I'm not sure about the rules, but there has to be limited participation in something like the first few games, maybe the first 25% of the games? I think Bogtrotter knows.

I don't know. Devin Gardner played in multiple games and practiced all year and Michigan was able to make up a back injury years after the fact and get him a red shirt.

 

[IrishAlum1997]

If I recall, it was how Rhema McKnight got a 5th year in 2006. He was injured in week 3 in 2005.

I believe they claimed they didn't know he was eligible for a red shirt and they never filed the paperwork. So the NCAA allowed it because it was UofM's fault. Or the NCAA is incompetent

Redshirt Rules

Redshirt Rules

If you participate in a game for a single play you burn a year of eligibility. He did.


If there is a season ending injury in the first half of the season you may apply for a medical hardship waiver to get that year restored if you meet the NCAA requirements. Documentation is required and is subject to review.


Edit: according to UND.com game participation chart Bryant played in Temple, PU, and, MSU, 3 games on the '13 schedule or 25%.

The NCAA has a process for giving athletes back seasons they lose to injury. It is commonly called a medical redshirt, but the technical term is a medical hardship waiver. A student-athlete’s school must .

apply for the waiver, and it can be granted or denied. Every waiver that meets the published criteria is granted, with rare exceptions.

Medical Hardship Requirements

To be eligible for a medical hardship waiver, a student-athlete has to meet the following criteria:

The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school.
The injury must be incapacitating. That means it must be a season-ending injury.
The injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of the season.
The student-athlete must not have competed in more than 30% of the season or three contests, whichever is greater.
All of these must be proven with documentation. That means medical documentation to prove the injury and that it was*season-ending and participation information to show that the student-athlete did not play in too many contests

 

[GoIrish41]

When he finally gets some real reps, if he's as good as many here seem to think he is, he won't be redshirting anyway. He'll have a couple 2,000 yard seasons and go to the NFL.

Gardner played in 3 games in the first half of the 2010 season before sustaining a season ending back injury. That meets the medical waiver requirements.

Rich Rod did not apply for a medical waiver before leaving UM. That isn't required.

Hoke did apply and the NCAA determined a medical waiver was appropriate for the 2010 season and the year of eligibility was restored.

Nice to see he takes pride in his school work, unlike OSU players.

OSU.

So I take it you've already heard the news too,huh?

Yeah, but that's the part that's made up. There was no season ending back injury. He kept practicing and practiced all through the bowl practices. There are documented reports of that.

I googled and googled and googled and could not find one report of a serious back injury from the day of the injury. The injury was fabricated. And the NCAA bought it because they're losers.

Ya, this. Except I thought he did have an initial minimal injury that they later used to claim for the reason he didn't play.

 

[ThePiombino]

OSU.

OK, I'll bite. What news?

 

[johnnycando]

Lol just kidding about my joking.

Bump Piombino. You doomsdayer.

 

[Cackalacky]

Greg tweeted he got a B on a paper.

Damnit.

 

[Irish Insanity]

[johnnycando]

I think this is the second 'transfer' type comment he's posted in the last few days. Not sure there is anything to it

Me? Lol. You're way wrong on that one. My vote was to leave this thread alone. But if we're gonna bump this thing, I'm gonna collude it with bullsh!t.

Damn you type fast.

I posted that, saw yours and immediately deleted mine.

And I coulda swore it was you that threw a joking comment out about one of our young guys leaving.

Then again, I've been wrong like once before.

I guess since I didn't pay for premium, I can't delete. Sorry or else I'd clean this bitch up.
