2009 Red-shirt confirmation

Why must there be a different thread about this every week? The rules don't change from week-to-week. Let's just rehash the "old" thread and update the names. I don't think there have been any changes to who can redshirt and who cannot.

Looking at your list of those you were not sure of: Not one of them is on the participation log over at mgoblue.com. So, according to RR in his most recent conference, those guys will redshirt.

Just to clarify:

As soon as a player plays ONE PLAY in any game, whether it's offense, defense or special teams, they are not eligible for a redshirt.

A player can get a medical redshirt if they have played in 30% or less of their team's games. 4 games "rounds down" so to speak, so functionally it's 33%

I believe your list is just about right, except for the fact that if there is a rush of injuries (one that comes to mind is if, say, Ortmann and Nowicki got injured), MAYBE Lewan would have to play at LT. But, that is a really, really, low probability case.

As for your list, this is the team we support. Please, please, spell their names right. Eventually, we all hope to see Michael Schofield, Anthony LaLota and Fitzgerald Toussaint, among these other redshirting kids, on the field. They go through a lot (in time, in school, in preparation) to represent the school and the football team we all support. The least we can do is show them respect by correctly identifying them.

Thanks.

Great news that we can have a bunch of players redshirt. It's unfortunate that we had to play so many freshmen this year, but that's what happens when you're rebuilding. Can't wait to see all those guys next year.

I was kind of hoping Je'Ron would redshirt, but it just means he'll be that much better/experienced come next year.

FYI TB - Toussaint

Last week I was listening to the Thursday night coach's show on the radio and RB coach Jackson had very, very high praise for this kid, but he apparently has been injured, so it's a redshirt for him this year. No word on what the injury was, exactly, but it didn't sound career-threatening or anything.

Jackson compared him to Mike Hart, IIRC correctly. I know Jackson tends to hype up his players some but it sounds like if Toussaint is healthy next season he might see some playing time as a RS FR.

This thread is an exemplar of negbang abuse. Neg/pos should be tweaked - it should cost the donor.

On the other hand, this thread - http://www.littleurl.net/02eb3a
is a good example of appropriate use of the negbang. I would gladly have donated points to neg the OP of that thread.

like this. If you really think you want to keep everything about a certain topic all in one thread, try going over to Buckeyeplanet and checking that crap out. They have an official thread for every player on the team, for every subject. I hope this place never gets to that point.

UM's roster is around 70 percent freshmen and sophomores. It will be great to see what this team is like when RR has his own fifth-year seniors playing on it.

am really surprised that Hawthorne did not redshirt, he came in weighing 200#'s. I thought he would redshirt with mouton being a junior. Thought that would make sense so he could bulk up, I watched his videos and this kid is explosive he just flies to the ball. Really excited to see him play.

Hawthorne is still on track to being redshirted. He's played on special teams only in the amount of games you can play and still receive the "dubious" medical redshirt. Vlad was also on track for redshirt, but that was burned against Del State.

Perhaps Brian should post the rules about redshirting. Then we could get rid of this silly theory that a kid can play in a few games and still redshirt despite not being injured.
