Has the NCAA ever let a player who played the last 10 games of the season, counting the BTT and NCAAT, have a medical redshirt? Not that I know of.

The idea of playing the 1st 10 not being disqualifying but playing the last 10 is will always be a world class head scratcher. But, yeah, the precedent is really not in his favor.

The idea is that it's a season ending injury, not just missing a bunch of time, I guess. So it's not "season ending" if he plays at the end of the season even though that injury could've happened a year earlier but too late in that season to get a redshirt. It's the NCAA being the NCAA

With the recent talk of the NCAA wanting everyone to have 5 years and after the recent covid year finally sputtering to an end, if there were a time that a season beginning injury appeal could be granted it would be now. Jmho.

 

Back to Reibe, so he cancels to visits. Then he moves us up after Kansas and UConn. We give him a great opportunity. I think I like our chances.

Not that I know of.....nor should they.  Redshirt rules are pretty clear and ANY games played in the second half of the year should receive an automatic no redshirt.

If we can get Goode back for a 5th year and only lose Mgbako and the other 5 seniors, perhaps a portal rim protector to complete the order. 

1000% doubt he would get a fifth year.  By playing those last ten, he was guaranteeing that the year would be counted.  I am guessing that he knew that was the case and was fine with playing four years of college ball and not five and the Illinois staff knew that.

There's a football player at Miami playing in his 9th season. He was in the same recruiting class at Oregon with Justin Herbert who is entering his 5th season in the NFL. I wouldn't put anything past the NCAA at this point. 

Assuming Goode stays healthy the entire year, he will have finished his career playing essentially 3 1/3 seasons. In an age where guys are playing 5 and 6 seasons on the regular, giving Goode an extra year doesn't seem as preposterous as it once did regardless of previous precedent.

Recent changes to FB redshirt (IIRC) allow players to play in a max of 4 games anytime, so I could see them using this as a precedent for his case.

Creighton’s Greg McDermott, Indiana’s Mike Woodson, Oregon, Kansas, will be in this week for five-star senior Eric Reibe, he told @Stockrisers. Oregon in for a second time over the past month. Reibe just visited UConn.

Moved up his Oregon OV as well. Presumably to make an October decision. Certainly a whirlwind courtship. Woody has certainly proven to be very good in these scenarios.

Rabs has mentioned a few times oregon would have to make up a lot of ground to be in the same chances as KU, IU, and UConn. 

[BA47591]

I think Reibe is ours. Oregon can't win that fight with us after Ware. Bundalo is going to UConn, and Kansas has Bidunga apprenticing a year behind Dickinson. 

If, by chance he were to choose Kansas, we would be at the top of the list to land Bidunga in the portal.

I think IU could find someone to talk to him about the differences between IU and Oregon if it comes down to those two. I think that person would likely view IU more favorably than Oregon.

Agree with this logic 100%.  If a school of business is one main driver to a school of his choice, out of the final ones IU by far is superior in my mind.  So, unless IU drops the ball on the one over the next month, I have to believe that Eric will be wearing candy stripes.

I’d say about a 1/3 shot. We have the situation teed up with NBA bigs pipeline, NIL, immediate opportunities, but so do Kansas and UConn.

We also have 2 other recruits he will be joining on his visit. One who is supposedly an IU lean. May be 33% chance going in, but probably 50-50 afterwards. Him moving his visit up 2 weeks to join these two is probably not by coincidence.

This seems about right. But under the heading of little things that mean a little something, kind of like Mgbako and the flag, how many other schools have a staff member who speaks fluent German and played a bunch of years in the Basketball Bundesliga? I believe the answer is zero.

That's one good item contributing to our 1/3 shot. Because if it was "who has won a ton lately" we'd be a distant third.
