Austin Reaves

[moshock]

I believe a diamond in the rough is a gem of a stone that just needs some polishing. However a diamond in a goats arse is a magnificent gem surrounded by arse holes and turds. Hence Austin would shine like a diamond in a goats arse had he gone to Arkansas.

I believe that would be a diamond in the roughage

Austin Reaves is a stud. That is all. SHOX!

[Shock Top]

Based on Reaves reaction, he is likely done for the year. Hopefully he can get a MRS and a full year off will let his shoulder get back to 100%.

Reaves has had surgeries on both on both shoulders. I hope this isn't an issue he'll have to deal with all of his playing career. Those problems seem to compound on each other, once the first one happens.

I hope I am wrong and it was just a cautious/scared reaction and that he will be fine in a short period of time. Unfortunately, he knows what that injury feels like and he reaction seemed to reflect that.

Shocker Nation loves you Austin and is rooting for your successful/speedy recovery!

Medical Redshirt Rules for NCAA Basketball

In case anyone's wondering, here are the rules for a medical redshirt. Sounds like we may see Austin sitting on the bench to see how his convalescence progresses for the next few games. They'll have to make a decision before the start of the second half of the season.

Basic Qualifications

To qualify for a medical redshirt, a basketball player must sustain an “incapacitating injury or illness.” The injury or illness does not have to be related to basketball, but must take place after the first day of classes in the athlete’s senior year of high school. To gain a medical redshirt for a specific season, the athlete’s illness or injury must occur before the first game of the second half of the team’s schedule. If the team plays an odd number of games, the exact midseason contest is considered part of the second half. For example, if a basketball team plays 25 games, the injury or illness must occur before the start of the team’s 13th game. Games played in postseason tournaments, such as a conference tournament or the NCAA or NIT tournaments, count among the team’s total games played.

Games Played

To gain a medical redshirt, the athlete cannot compete in more than 30 percent of her team’s games within a season, not counting contests officially designated as scrimmages or exhibition games. When such computations are made, fractions are rounded up. For example, if a team plays 27 games, the exact 30 percent mark is 8.1. For the purposes of medical redshirt eligibility, therefore, the player may compete in nine games and still be eligible for a medical redshirt.

Sixth Year

In cases where a player takes a standard, nonmedical redshirt season, then later is granted a medical redshirt, the player has six years in which to complete his four seasons of basketball eligibility.

Administration

The administration of a medical redshirt request is handled by a school’s conference. If the school is not a member of an athletic conference, the NCAA Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement administers the hardship request. The committee also reviews appeals of medical redshirt requests that are denied at the conference level. Medical documentation is required with every medical redshirt request.

Amen

Sounds like @ARShocker: and HCGM believe that Austin will be fine and this is just something to be expected.

They both know AR better then most of us, so I'll believe them until told otherwise.

Get well soon AR-15!! (Still going to stick with that)

Need to cut bait on the kid and wish him well. His shoulders are probably a degenerative issue that will not get better. If he chooses to risk his health somewhere else, so be it, but I seriously doubt this is a health issue that will get better.

I know you're just trolling, but I'll give you a serious reply. Even with his physical "weakness" Reaves is uniquely skilled and has the highest upside of anyone on the team. As long as he wants to play, he'll by my fav Shocker...

You are really the worst.

Are you seriously advising that we cut this kid and let him play elsewhere?? Why would we ever want to cut loose someone with this killer instinct and gifted IQ.

Delete your account.

@_kai_: .. A ban is overdue

AR just needs to add a crap load of upper body muscle. Give him time he's young.

I'm shocked when you predicted Shamet to get injured that you didn't just throw Reaves under the bus too.

Worse than scum.

I never thought you were a troll - just a dreary pessimist - but I think I've changed my mind.

Ridiculous...

AR is sick about this. His family is sick about this as are the fans, coaches, and his friends. Your comment is something not made by a fan or from someone wishing the best for the kid, but a comment reflecting that of an asshole. Does that brown show fit?
