cheeseman Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 If he wants to transfer or decides he wants to transfer at some point that is not a bad thing for anybody involved. It is not a lost year for him, he gets college academic credit and still maintains all his eligibility whether he stays or leaves. We have seen this play before and it has usually does not end with the player getting what they want without leaving. The player that chooses to redshirt usually figures out that he is not in a good place for him. Ford as would all coaches will continue to recruit over a player. My comment was not meant to be an attack on the player but just an observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I see no indication he's transferring. Not sure why that's even coming up, other than the fact we haven't had a non-medical redshirt under Ford yet. He was going to get very short minutes this year and decided to take the season to practice and adjust to the college game. Kramer can shoot, he can defend, and he's physically strong enough to play at this level right now. There are some other things he could work on. This is a kid who fell in love with the place and the culture on his visit and called it early. He's been a vocal leader from the bench. There's no reason to think he sees this as step one to another destination right now. dennis_w, cgeldmacher, RUBillsFan and 3 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 plus we are starting to see the ford 7-8 man rotation already. normally it doesnt emerge till January but this is a killer non conference schedule and i think rightly so, ford is focused on trying to maximize that as much as possible.

wgstl Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Kramers redshirting because he’s behind Perkins, Gibby, THJ, Fred, and Parker. Why waste a year of eligibility, that’s all. drkelsey55 and Scoop like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shempie Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 It's also possible he is thinking he wants 5 years of school paid for. Masters or some other program possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Well maybe you guys are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 If he goes the whole season and he and the team preserves his redshirt by his not coming into a game, I predict that in the offseason, Ford will be talking about knowing what a good player he will have in Kramer next season as a red-shirt freshman.
