It's especially not relevant when considering the rule changes

That recently went to committee. Two of the rules specifically deal with players' numbers—one requiring officials be notified of number changes occurring during a game and the other disallowing two players on the same team and at the same position from wearing the same number. To help those keeping score at home, this means its pretty common for more than one player to wear a particular number. So much so that the NCAA already has rules in place and is considering additional rules to govern the many instances where this already occurs. It's a non issue and that's the reason you are catching so much flak Decatur.

You're absolutely right. 

You're absolutely right.  This is more relevant than a lot of other threads on the board right now.  However, if I was to create a thread about how I drove past the big house today, it also would be technically "more relevant" than the 35 y.o. retiree.  Relevancy does not necessarily constitute board worthiness.

This is something that happens all the time (pros, college and even high school), and isn't a big deal (for the team, for the blog, and/or for Derrick).  Either Derrick will move on to a new number, he and Keizer will make a deal,  they'll share the number or the walk on will be forced to give it up if Green is a baby about it.  If you're still concerned about it, Green's already signed is LOI, so he's locked in, and if a jersey number is enough for him to want to transfer, do you really someone so thickheaded like that on the team anyways.  Quit worrying and think before creating a thread next time (the tribe's clearly spoken that this was best left unposted).

It's only a problem if they both are on the field at the same time. There are plenty of repeat numbers when you include walk-ons. Unless Keizer is the next Jordan Kovacs, it's a non-issue.

I don't like the idea of Green getting the number because of his recruiting credentials. Once he is a member of 134, they are all equals. Except he's a freshman, and Keizer is a RS Soph. I think seniority should rule here, and I would hope the coaches and players would agree.

Are you seriously implying

Are you seriously implying that D Green might get so upset that 27 is taken that he will transfer?  That's a joke right?  Seriously, that's the most ridiculous thing that's ever been posted on MGoBlog - and that's saying something.  Regardless, if it's a big enough issue, I'm sure the walk on will give up the number.

It's half-serious. Green

It's half-serious. Green wears #27 everywhere (high school, Army Bowl, commitment announcement) that you'd think he might be a little upset over this.

Of course you guys could all be right and the coaches will just say screw the walk-on here you go Green.

Actually, I'm pretty sure

Actually, I'm pretty sure you're wrong. You can have 2 of the same number on the roster but you can't have 2 offensive players or defensive players who both wear a number. So Green could share the number with a DB but not a WR. In fact, a quick scan of Michigan's roster shows that this interpretation is correct at least in terms if how the roster is made up right now.

Actually I think it is just that

two players with the same # can't be on the field at the same time.

You can't define an 'offensive' or 'defensive' player as some guys take snaps on both sides of the ball, guys switch positions - OL to DL, things like that.

You're right - and the way

You're right - and the way teams go about handling it is to assign repeated numbers to players who typically play on different sides of the ball.  I thought I remembered reading a rule about it years ago.  Should have checked first.

Absolutely correct

that you can't have two players with the same # on the field at the same time.  Unless you have the "luck" of the Irish, that is:

http://search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oG7hwQyCBRoEYAS1VXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE1NWZ...

Notre Dame’s “Desperado” Brain cramp. The Irish’s game-saving break on Kevin Harper’s missed 33-yard field goal could’ve been erased because of a special teams snafu, with both Bennett Jackson and Chris Brown being a part of the Irish’s kick block team. Since both players wear the number two, they aren’t allowed to be on the field at the same time unless one of them switches jerseys and declares himself to the refs. But that didn’t happen, and while the refs didn’t spot it, it could’ve been called for a penalty, a situation that already happened when Danny McCarthy and Justin Ferguson both wore No. 15.

Kelly didn’t sugarcoat the mistake when he discussed it Sunday.

“It was a coaching mistake. We had put our Desperado team on there, and Chris Brown is part of Desperado,” Kelly explained. “Just we’ve got to do a better job. An oversight that can’t happen.”

FWIW, Shane has said he doesn't want to wear #12 in college. He tweeted the other day that he sent in his potential number requests: 7, 10, and 2.

Both 7 (Leach, Henne) and 10

Both 7 (Leach, Henne) and 10 (Brady, Collins) would look good.  I think 2 is reserved for a DB.

Walk-ons share numbers with scholarship guys all the time.  They just can't be on the field at the same time (and probably won't).

HOLY CRAP GUYS. Jeez, I

HOLY CRAP GUYS. Jeez, I thought this was a legitimate topic to discuss, but I guess all the downvotes means I misfired.

I guess no one thinks Green will transfer because he doesn't get to wear #27 or the Freep won't write a story about how Michigan coaches made a poor helpless walk-on give up his number for Green.

I guess I'm the only one worried slightly worried this could be a problem.

Carry on, then.

Do you really think this is the first time this has happened?

What about Shane Morris? What if he doesn't get his high school number? What if a walk-on has it?

C'mon man. You can't be that drunk or that naive to think this is an issue.

Don't be pissed because you thought you uncovered or found something and it turned out to be nothing more than shit.

When has this EVER been an issue? Someone transferring over a number? The FREEP sucks, but even they think your "scoop" sucks.

Clearly if no one is worried and thinks Green will stay here forever and ever (because we've never had players leave) then yeah this thread seems pretty pointless.

Come on, man. Is this seriously a thread? If he ditches because of a jersey number, he should never have committed here.



But if he doesn't get 27, there's plenty of other great options. Taking 20 for Mike Hart, 23 for Chris Perry, or 32 for the A-Train would be good starting points.

Seth really needs to start a new Friday feature "worst of the worst" as measured by down votes. The amazing thing to me is that the OP seriously worried this might be a reason to transfer. How anyone could spend almost two years here and still believe that is almost unbelievable but as evidenced by his responses in the thread he tried to DEFEND it.

There would be a lot to choose from this week but this one would be hard to beat.

If this were the pros...

You hear all the time about players buying their preferred number from the incumbent --usually when a star comes in through free agency. Probably does not happen like that in college, although perhaps at a school down the road that appears to use tattoos as currency it might very well work the same way...

I'm sure

He will get #27, I doubt whether he didnt choose Tennessee or auburn because 27 was already taken. I imagined him taking #32 anyways...the D-Train!

This just in from the "Cool

This just in from the "Cool Story, Bro" Department:

My brother-in-law played at Mt. Union. He was telling me that their roster was so large that at one point, they had 3-4 guys wearing the same number, for most of the numbers.

This is a non-issue.

I'm not usually one to pick

I'm not usually one to pick on a thread, but a walk-on wears the same number as a starter all the time. IIRC a walk-on receiver had the same number as Guitierrez back in 04. Ee might have been called on at any time (including garbage time) and also was the holder for field goals. It was never a problem. I can't even imagine a scenario in which a walk-on receiver sees the field at the same time as a starting (?) RB. We're good there.

Dammit you made edits before

Dammit you made edits before I can ridicule. Suffice to say guys on the scout team change their numbers all the damn time. You'll note that 11 is not the 2nd, not the 3rd, not the 4th, but the 5th number Kovacs has worn in his Michigan career, according to him. I don't have all of them in front of me but there was one number he wore when trying out in 2008, one number when trying out in 2009, and then he was wearing 22 going into the 2009 season. He switched to 32 after his first game, and because of this his coaches got him confused with another walk-on who'd been wearing that number.
