Justin Venable goes from a SR to a FRESH?

[Pirogue]

I am a little confused by the NCAA's ruling on Justin Venable.
It appears that Venable, who at the start of the 2002 season was listed as a SR with One Letter, has received a favorable ruling from the NCAA. I read that he will be given 3 Seasons of eligibility...

That would make him a Sophmore next season. That seems a little strange, and though I like the idea of getting Mr Venable's services that far into the future... is this a mistake?

Why was he listed as a Senior last year if this was even possible?

This is great news if it's true, but it almost sounds too good, and I don't like it when things seem too good.

Help Me out... Congrats Justin!
WOO HOO GEAUX CAJUNS!!!


p.s. any word on Jerome Coleman?

p.s. any word on Jerome Coleman?

I know someone on the inside that told me that even if Jerome gets his year back, bustle is phazing in the younger players and probably would use him at fullback.

The only thing I can figure is 1 redshirt and 2 medical hardships.

Perhaps medical hardships are awarded on a yearly basis.

I fully agree with, one hardship for his broken jaw year, and one hardship for his knee last year.

I don't know when his other two knee mishaps occured.
