Re: Redshirts

Unless your name is Case Keenum....then you can medically redshirt before you step on campus....then medically redshirt after playing during the season as well.

Or if your name is Jess Settles, then you can play until your 35 on medical redshirts!

I think he still has a year or two of eligibility left

Re: Redshirts

He played something like 30 seconds, got mono and medical redshirted. We don't know how much he would have played had mono not taken him out.

It's clear at this point how much Singleton is going to play....

Like I said, I hope he doesn't feel this way (and I have no indication that he does). However, I'm sure it's very frustrating to be brought in, told you won't red shirt because his talent is needed on the court, then not see the court but just long enough to lose the red shirt for the year....then possibly be told to red shirt the next year

Is it possible that the coaching staff & Marvin discussed the situation together before the decision was made?

Coaches could easily have told Marvin that he was likely looking at minimal minutes this yr, but could be needed if an injury occured & Marvin decided to give it a go.

Re: Redshirts

AJ got a redshirt his first year on campus.

To me, those are very different situations.

Well, yes and I understand that, and that's why I wrote it's not a perfect analogy.

Re: Redshirts

It is unfortunate that we are wasting a year of Marvin's eligibility, but nothing we can do about it now. Depending upon how the summer goes, I can see him looking to redshirt next year if he is alright with that.

Not going to be any extra minutes available next year from what I have seen. Tuttle will play a little more, expect CO to play more and the guards to pick up all of Moran's minutes.

btw too funny on Jess Settle's.

Re: Redshirts

Cam Johnson and Jason Daisy. Two names from the Panther past who played as true freshman and then redshirted as sophomores. Turned out to be pretty good players by the time they were done.

Brian Carpenter and Kwadzo Ahelegbe. Two more players who redshirted after their freshman years due to injury. Kwadzo couldn't come back, Carp might have been able to play the second half of the season but chose to take the whole season off.

It can be done, and has been done. It will ultimately be up to what the coaching staff feels is best and Marvin is willing to do. If he doesn't want to redshirt and accepts that he will not play much, so be it. Who knows, maybe he will just explode onto the scene yet this year...

Re: Redshirts

We are all speculating that Singleton will redshirt next year, that is a ways off still. A lot can happen between now and then so I'm sure this hasn't even been brought up by Singleton or Jacobson at this point.

Re: Redshirts

why isn't Carlton Reed still on the team?
