Did either one even see the field Sat

Actually, he's exactly right. If he already hadn't redshirted, then there's a chance the NCAA would just give him the year back immediately. That's what happened with Loston last year, he played 2-3 snaps against Washington, re-injured the hand and had the season voided basically. Since Blackwell has already RS, he'll have to finish his senior year first, then apply for the hardship.

many people get rewarded with a sixth year at the end of their eligibility...

The point is...in the first half we used a flexed out TE in our 4 WR sets. We didn't use a WR in the 4-wide sets so I find it hard to believe the freshman were about to pass up Tolliver for that spot.
Then you're blind. Boone and Wright played Saturday in several sets.

Yea that's what I said in my first post. But he can't get a med RS for this year. And unless there was some sort of injury his redshirt year he probably won't get extended eligibility

Most of those players were those that missed two years due to injury.
Posted on 9/6/10 at 1:55 pm to Bonjourno
I was under the impression that if he took a RS and then got hurt and had to miss so much of another year he'd be eligible for it...

Wright/Boone was pushing CT hard for that spot.

This is what Charles Alexander did a few years back. He was on the squad for 6 years as I recall.

Of course he can. The medical/hardship rule is the exception.
quote:
The exception to the five-to-play-four rule comes when a player experiences a hardship, such as a season-ending injury. If an injury occurs in the first half of a season and the player has not played in more than 20% of his team's games, then the NCAA will consider granting a "medical redshirt" - a hardship exception to the eligibility rules.

completely irrelevant especially with the history of this staff. maybe tolliver wouldn't have played much either...

You have 5 yrs to play 4. To get a 6th year you have to miss 2 years due to factors beyond your control. Taking a normal redshirt yr is considered withing your control whether you would have actually played or not. The medical redshirt is really for people who don't redshirt but get injured early. It gives them the opportunity to play 4 within 5.

Plus Tolliver is the fastest receiver on the team. I guarantee he would have balls thrown his way

Did you even read my first post. I said he will have to wait to get his eligibility extended. He cannot get a 'medical redshirt' bc he already has a RS. He has to wait til the ebd of his eligibility. And even then he prob won't get it extended

Perhaps I misunderstood your intent. I read it as if you were saying he could not receive a medical redshirt and an additional year of elgibility because he had red shirted previously. I read the rules to say the medical/hardship rule is the exception to the five to play four elgibility rule.

It seems if the NCAA is inclined to extend elgibility for medical reasons, this is a good case for it.

Generally they tend to extend eligibility for guys who missed 2 yrs for things outside their control ie pittman and graff. Since he redshirted voluntarily the first time he's not the ideal candidate
