Dodie Dunson

[tropicalshox]

Bradley's Dodie Dunson is out for the year. Two broken bones in his forearm.

[DUShock]

Trop isn't he eligible to apply for a medical redshirt, if he hasn't already taken one?

Go Valley!!
Go Shocks!!!!

[tropicalshox]

I don't think he's had a redshirt year so we will probably see him next year.

Very sorry to hear this. Hope he can come back next year.

On a related note, let's say we are redshirting Richardson and Hamilton........................and then Williams breaks a leg or whatever in the next couple of games......we then pull the shirt off one of the others and apply for a medical redshirt for Williams? Is that still an option if Williams plays in 2 games? 3? 5? Anybody know?

It would be an option. But I don't know how many games he can play in before a medical RS is no longer an option.

NCAA by-law 14.2.4:

. . . student-athlete may be granted an additional year of competition for reasons of hardship. Hardship is defined as an incapacity resulting from an injury or illness that has occurred under the following conditions: (1) occurs in one of the four seasons of intercollegiate competition, (2) occurs prior to the completion of the first half of the playing season and (3) occurs when the student-athlete has not participated in 30 percent of the school's scheduled contests.

Got it. Thanks.

[Aargh]

The 30% of total games played rule allowed the now infamous Nate Funk trial run a few years ago.

Funk was hurt after playing in something like 6 games. When he got a medical clearance to return to the court a little after mid-season, Altman played him in 2 games. Funk looked bad and CU tanked, so it was determined that the earlier injury had, indeed, been season-ending.

That also gave Funk exactly the number of games to still qualify under the 30% rule, so Funk was eligible for and got the additional year.

Anyone care to bet that the NCAA would not have found an "i" not dotted or a "t" not crossed had it been a Shocker player?

Could it be our track record? Because of our past (yes, a long time ago)the NCAA might have a big * on top of our file. Just sayin'...

Uhh without lookin back and seein the details .....
how bout the name John Cooper ???
as memory serves we. and more importantly He got the shaft with his Season ender did't WE

[ShockTalk]

Based on the above quoted by-law, I'm sure John would have qualified, but I don't remember the whole story. Had he not missed almost all of his senior year, I'm sure he would have been one of our top 10 in scoring.

If you want a blueprint of the perfect SF and teammate, look no further than Coop.

[OTR Shockfan]

Not to mention that it was a CHEEP SHOT that hurt him too ,, still aggravates me to this day , really screwed Coop IMHO

[McShocker]

Hadn't he taken a voluntary red shirt? I thought he was denied because of the 5 to play 4 rule that is only averted due to 2 medical hardships.
