WVBilliken Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Have not heard if Bishop was granted a redshirt year due to his injury last year. Has the decision been made by the NCAA yet? Is Bishop a junior or redshirt sophomore next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt that the reason he didnt play the last like 6 or 7 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of any and in fact there are more examples of players that only played like a game or two and then were denied the medical red shirt season.

WVBilliken Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Assume Roy is right. Odd that the NCAA would make Bishop wait 2 years to find out if he gets the redshirt. There are many reasons why the student athlete would like to have this information sooner rather than waiting 2 years to find out.............but who ever said the NCAA would do anything that would actually help the student athlete.

I dont have any examples, but I thought the rule was if the player plays in less than 30% of the games, and doesnt return after injury,they should be good to go to get it.

That's the qualification but the NCAA still decides on a case to case basis. It's the typical corruption we have all come to expect from the NCAA.

I am sure there are examples, but I don't know of any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter would have been better off finishing his freshman season at SLU rather than transferring at semester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to claim you were injured and couldn't finish the season when you had just played in a game before deciding to transfer. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/gamelog/_/id/61186/year/2013/keith-carter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Temple's John Brown was granted a medical redshirt after playing 5 games. A few years ago, Penn State's Julian Moore was granted a medical redhsirt after playing 7 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFord and TRavs Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Do we want Bishop for another 3 years though? And would Bishop even stay if he is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this has been said yet, but in Ford's interview on 101.1 today he mentioned Bishop using a redshirt year last year. So I'm guessing it's a for sure thing?

Of course we want the OPTION for Bishop to have a third year. If he's playing well and is a valuable member of the team we get a 5th year player familiar with the system, coach, etc. If Bishop gets stuck on the bench these next two years, then you let him walk away as a graduate transfer 5th year and he plays immediately elsewhere. It's a classic win-win situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm guessing it's a for sure thing? I heard the interview also and heard Coach say Bishop redshirted last season. I'm not sure if that was a slip of tongue or what. I thought that a medical hardship wasn't granted until the athletes regular 4 years are used up. You can't straight redshirt after playing 9 games. Perhaps Coach believes there will be no issue with the medical hardship waiver being granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Medical redshirt is usually a slam dunk unless there is a weird circumstance like Carter had - playing in a game randomly right before transfer - or a guy exhausting the 5 year clock because of injury. Bishop shouldn't have a problem at all because he played the first 9 games, was injured, and did not return. If he transferred out before he graduates from SLU, he would run into a problem of trying to play 4 seasons in 5 years though. He needs to stick another 2 years, graduate, and then has options.
