SluSignGuy Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I think this has been alluded to in Game Day Threads, but do we have any knowledge whether Gudmundsson may be hurt or planning to redshirt? If we did not use him with our foul situation in the Seton Hall game. I could only really assume we don't want to burn a year of his eligibility. Or did I miss a more official announcement?

Pistol Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hankton hasn't played yet either, right? I didn't get the impression we were going to redshirt either of them, and that it was more a function of Ford not being comfortable playing them because we haven't had any comfortable wins yet. But maybe they will redshirt him, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moytoy12 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I'm guessing Thor will get a redshirt. I don't believe we have to announce anything, right? Can't we quietly get a redshirt if he doesn't play at all? KC will be needed this year. He's hurt and sure is taking a while to recover, which concerns me.

SouthSide_Billiken Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I also remember hearing it mentioned that he was a bit behind on various things due to his late arrival on campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorydays2013 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Unless we have an unreal season (which I think we will, especially compared to recently), not playing these guys will lead to transfers with players getting eligible right away recently. I don’t think this will be the case since players like Jacobs, KC and Thor look up to the top guys playing and know playing time is available next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsgo Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I think it benefits Ingvi more to play this year, even if he only gets garbage time in blow outs. Next year he will be competing against a very similar style player in Gibson Jimerson, who by all accounts is one of the best shooters in the country at his age. Having some game time for a good college team will be beneficial for Ingvi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBFan Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 When we speak of red shirting haven't been talking about why do that anymore because of the grad transfer rule. I would not red shirt any one anymore I want as many players available in case of injury, suspensions, etc... With the grad transfer rule I do not think there is any reason to do that with the exception of the medical red shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 KC and Jacobs are both hurt, so they likely understand why they're not playing. Hopefully Ingvi realizes he's a FR New to American style of hoops and doesn't get impatient and down on himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 We are currently playing with 8 players because that is what we have available at this time. Welmer and Santos are out for good, Hankton and Jacobs are injured but not out. The only left over scholarship player available at this time, other than the 8 that are playing, is Gudmunsson which Ford is not playing because he wants to develop him more before entering play. The way it is, if we get into serious foul problems in any future games we will probably have to play (ready or not) Gudmunsson or the walk ons. That is, until Hankton and Jacobs can play again. I fully expect to see Gundmunsson and or the walk ons playing at some point before the A10 play starts. Our off conference schedule is much tougher than the A10 will be.

HoosierPal Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 No one expects a player to stick around for five years under today's transfer climate. So why red shirt a player (excluding injury situations), knowing that you won't get four seasons out of him. AGB91 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Ford knows the Icelandic language because I’m sure he had some choice words for Thor after he jacked up that 40 footer. It’s all good in my book, I like the confidence.

Glorydays2013 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I don’t blame him for the shot. If he made it and stayed in and made more he could work into the lineup in his mind. I think he could be a Wiley replacement if he is ever injured longterm. He has a good ceiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmbilliken Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Wiley replacement looks to be Hankton. He has the best looking shot and wouldn't be any worse on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
