November 27, 200718 yr He only played 2 regular season games... The team has only played 4. Sorry! I didn't mean to put the "regular" in there! So surely he can redshirt!
November 27, 200718 yr I thought that he would be able to get a medical redshirt. He only played 4 regular season games. From the NCAA: Redshirt Definition The term "redshirt" is used to describe a student-athlete who does not participate in competition in a sport for an entire academic year. If you do not compete in a sport the entire academic year, you have not used a season of competition. For example, if you are a qualifier, and you attend a four-year college your freshman year, and you practice but do not compete against outside competition, you would still have the next four years to play four seasons of competition. Each student is allowed no more than four seasons of competition per sport. If you were not a qualifier, you may have fewer seasons of competition available to you. You should know that NCAA rules indicate that any competition, regardless of time, during a season counts as one of your seasons of competition in that sport. It does not matter how long you were involved in a particular competition (for example, one play in a football game, one point in a volleyball match); you will be charged with one season of competition.
November 27, 200718 yr Those rules do not apply to a "medical" redshirt, and I think a medical redshirt has to be approved by somebody from the NCAA.

November 27, 200718 yr OK. I forgot about that. Let me look it up. I too, would be interested in seeing the exact writing of the rule, if you can find it anywhere.
November 27, 200718 yr OK. I forgot about that. Let me look it up. Found it. There actually is a new rule on this and it appears that he could , indeed, apply for the redshirt. The player can apply if he has appeared in less than or equal to greater of 3 games or 30% of the season.
November 27, 200718 yr Thats comforting to hear, but I'm still hoping for a speedy recovery and he can help us again by SEC play.

November 27, 200718 yr Billy didn't say that Meeks was going to be out longer, just that he is monitoring Meeks closer than he is Jasper.
November 27, 200718 yr Billy didn't say that Meeks was going to be out longer, just that he is monitoring Meeks closer than he is Jasper. BCG said tonight that he's more concerned about Meeks injury lasting longer than DJ's due to the fact that Meeks still can do absolutely nothing physically.
November 27, 200718 yr Outside of Patterson not coming to UK, this is the worst possible thing that could have happened. If he misses the year.
November 27, 200718 yr We probably just need to write this year and next off as rebuilding, and then be ready to kick butt in the third year.
November 27, 200718 yr We probably just need to write this year and next off as rebuilding, and then be ready to kick butt in the third year. I'll be happy with effort and improvement this year. It was going to be a tough year anyway, but the injuries are just compounding things.
November 27, 200718 yr I knew Meeks would be out for a while, that injury hurts... Trust me. Not good news for the Cats.
