Re: Carlton Reed

Back to Reed: with the conference schedule right around the corner, in a game where we were down early and needed points, Reed only gets 4 minutes.

Damn.

I would bet his foot isn't healed as well as we think. Back to back foot injuries is not something easy to come back from. Let him rest...

Re: Carlton Reed

Yup, my guess as well I can't imagine he's still learning the system.

Re: Carlton Reed

I think its that the foot isn't fully healed and the fact that he lost 14 weeks of conditioning this summer and fall... That is a ton to try and make up!

Re: Carlton Reed

Is he eligible for a medical redshirt?

Re: Carlton Reed

I think that is a good question, if we had him for the next two years along with Kwadzo and Brent and the additional experience of the rest we should be tough. Unless he is in shape and ready to play I'm not sure we aren't wasting a year of eligibility.

Re: Carlton Reed

he would have to play next year as a senior and then apply for the sixth year. nothing would be guaranteed, but i think he would likely get it.

Re: Carlton Reed

I think there is an NCAA rule that if you transfer you do not get a 6th year even if there is an injury.

Re: Carlton Reed

I think you're right D Panther.

I also heard through the medical grapevine, that Reed's foot is fine and he's been fully cleared to play. (If anyone knows something I don't, please chime in because I don't know for sure).

Reed thinks he's healthy and Reed wants to play. He was cleared to play by his doctor before the Wartburg game, 3 games ago. Yet so far, the only excuse we've heard from Jacobson is "we're trying to get him into the flow of our offense." It's Jacobson's call and he obviously must not be "feelin' it" with Reed on the court quite yet. He's been cleared to play. Just put him on the court for a long stretch of time and let him play. I thought he looked pretty loose against Wartburg (but then again, it's Wartburg.)

I think Reed not playing is more a coaching decision than anything. He's healthy, and he wants to play. If we don't get him out there sooner or later, we're going to waste this year and be left with only one more of him. Man I was excited about this guy a few years ago . . .

Re: Carlton Reed

i know the iowa staff is very confident that devan moylan will get his 6th year next year. he came from a juco as a full qualifier after one year and had to sit out a transfer year (during which he used his redshirt). thats just one example off the top of my head.

Re: Carlton Reed

Reed would still have to qualify under the NCAA's 4 in 5 rule. He wouldn't be granted an extra year, because they don't do the 6 years anymore.

Same reason Joe Green is a senior. He only played 2 years at SDSU, but that started the 4 in 5 clock. He didn't play after that, but the clock still runs, since he didn't transfer/enroll at UNI until last spring, he wasn't eligible to play until the semester break (the one year transfer rule still applies) and now only has a semester left in his five years.

Re: Carlton Reed

Wasn't Jess Settles a 6 year guy?

Settles was more like an 8 year guy, wasn't he?!?

[in_the_stands]

Re: Carlton Reed

Yup, you're thinking of Iowa's Johanna Solverson, who blew out her knee twice in two consecutive years. A McDonalds & Parade All-American, it will be huge for Iowa (and Bluder) if she can get her game back.

Seems like Settles was 6 years also, due to back problems. Really too bad about him, he was an exceptional talent.

Re: Carlton Reed

UNI's Katie Sorrell also did the 4 for 6 thing, gee she's from Winfiled/Mt Union. Maybe they get special treatment from the NCAA.

Re: Carlton Reed

5 to play 4 is the rule, but 6th years are granted on a regular basis.
