I know Grady came in with Manny Harris and played two years on the BBall team. Then the past two seasons he has played football for RR. I assumed he had used up his eligibility but he apparently still has a year? How does this work b/c I do not recal any injuries? Wasn't he practicing with the BBall team last year too? Just wanted some clarification on Grady's story.
Also, what is with Craig Roh's jersey in the spring practice videos. He is clearly wearing a different white addidas jersey than anyone else. What you can see of it, it looks similar to the last Nike road jerseys we wore. Are they the tight fitting jerseys the team turned down wearing last year or are they looking to go a new direction with the road jersey's this year. I hope it is the latter b/c I am not a fan of the maize stripe under the arm. I prefer simple and classic looks. Go Blue!!
Grady is using the 5 years to play 4 rule. I don't know the official term, but you have 5 years to use up 4 years of eligibilty in each sport. Hypothetically, DeShawn Sims could have played football this year even though he had exhausted all 4 of his years of Bball eligibility, assuming he was still enrolled in school and not playing pro bball. It is how Greg Paulus was able to play football for 1 year after 4 years of hoops at Duke.
I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.
