Re: Buss

not exactly. a greyshirt cannot even enroll in college full time.

Not exactly true. A greyshirt is just a made up term schools/coaches/fans use, it is not officially recognized by the NCAA. When someone greyshirts that means they have an agreement with a coach/university that they will pay their own way the first year and then the university will put them on scholarship. In fact, you can even have an agreement with a player that they pay 2 years of school on their own.

A greyshirt can be a full time student (Matt Morrison "greyshirted" his freshman year I believe. Also redshirted that year.

i know its not an ncaa definition, but i am correct. the point of the greyshirt is not to avoid being on scholarship...its to avoid the 5-year clock starting.

morrison was a "4 for 5" not a greyshirt. theres a big difference.

Re: Buss

also, i dont have think you can have a greyshirt in hoops because it spans 2 semesters.

football greyshirts typically enroll full time in spring of their first year.

Re: Buss

9yr is right.

By enrolling in spring semester after the season is over, the clock doesn't start. Gives you six years to play four. Iowa State used to do that all the time with McCarney.

Re: Buss

Also correct that it cannot be done in basketball due to having to be enrolled both semesters.
