What's up with Guillory?

_ Well if he is, and he can be granted a med. redshirt if he hasn't been redshirted already, redshirt him. I think he was 0 for his first 15 at bats to start the season. Besides, with Griffen and Kiffer, he'll be warming the bench either way. _

Medical redshirts are awarded at the end of your eligibility. We wouldnt know until a few years from now, but I'm pretty sure the injury isnt bad enough to warrant an extra year. He even played a few weeks ago.

In the case of a medical redshirt, my understanding is you have to exhaust your eligability and then apply for the redshirt, which is subject to review & approval by the NCAA. I think it also requires completion of a certain amount of coursework toward a degree. There are some issues, as I think the NCAA wants to see a continued issue of injury (longer than one semester). Josh may have a better handle on the actual rules.

_ I thought Bowman was going to get a medical redshirt _

Yes on Bowman, no on Guillory. They may try, but don't think it's going to happen.

_ Are we actively recuriting another catcher? _

Two corner bats and one arm to complete the 2009 class. The 2010 class, we have one local kid they like alot, maybe the JC's for another.

Thanks T. Are the corner bats jucos, or high school kids?

You must wait until after you've exhausted your eligibility to earn back that year. The NCAA looks at the extent of the injury, when it happened and what type of treatment was taken.

Bowman is expected to apply for a medical redshirt. The NCAA is so hard to judge that anything is possible. But Guillory has no shot since hexalready redshirted, unless he misses another year to injury. The NCAA has granted sixth years to student-athletes in that case.

That's definitely an extreme case.

The only way you can qualify for a medical redshirt (6th year hardship) is if you missed at least 2 full years due to injury. Dillon's freshman year was a true redshirt due to the fact that we had a guy by the name of Lucroy. If Dillon had missed that year because of injury he would have been okay to get the 6th year. As it stands now, he won't be here a 6th year.
