Rowsey Injury

[wadesworld]

Didn't get to see the game and not sure I'm going to have time to read through the entire game thread/post game threads, plus if it's a serious injury I'm thinking it would deserve it's own thread because that, my friends, would be the season.

Any word on Rowsey's injury?  Sounds like he suffered a leg injury that didn't look good but that he was able to walk off on his own.

Thanks for any information.

A guy from NIU came down on the back of AR's ankle and twisted it.  He didn't come back into the game, but he walked back in and sat on the bench after a few minutes in the locker room. I'm guessing it isn't anything major...but then again I didn't stay at Holiday Inn Express last night.

Wojo said tests tonight in post game presser. Markus said that AR told him he’d be fine. Maybe would be a bit surprised to see him Thursday but hopefully ready to go for X.

I was worrried when it happened. Didn’t look good.

He was walking on it after it happened and then came out on the bench later. I think he'll be okay. Then again, I'm not a doctor and don't know anything about the injury.

Btw Dickie Simpkins, Andrew Row "C"?  Sorry, it bugs me.  Row "Z" please.

Jeff Levering calls him Rossey——-it’s not that difficult of a name.

Just asking....

If he were to have to sit for 2 to 3 months...(MCL).....Effectively ending his season......Could he apply for a medical redshirt?

[kmwtrucks]

it would be his 6 season and he has played in 11 games this year.  So it would be unlikely.  I think the cutoff is 10 games and that would be for someone that had not already sit out a year.  How many years did Otule play he got Med redshirt also there was a either a Northwestern or Badger 6-7 years ago that got a 6 year.  Maybe Even eschmeyer.

We would have to play 37 games for him to be eligible.  Has to play in less then 30% of the season.

So we would need to finish in the bottom four of the conference,  make the BE championship,  and then play three rounds of a postseason tournament

Don’t believe post-season games count.

So you’re saying there’s a chance

The conference tournament counts as one game.  NCAA tournaments games don't count.

He would not be able since he played in over 30% of the games.

Nope. Not how it works (and it’s a medical hardship waiver... redshirt means you didn’t play).

The 30% is your scheduled games, plus the conf tourney counts as one, regardless of how many you play. The NCAA or other postseason tourneys count for nada

So, it’s 31 x 30% = 9.3. Per bylaws, round up to 10. He’s played in 11. Therefore he does not meet the criteria. If he did, getting a five year rule waiver would be the other issue - only missed one year due to somethingboutvofvhis control. Transfer year was by choice.

So, he’s got two things stacked against him. NCAA has done weird things in the past, but by rule he isn’t a medical hardship waiver candidate and isn’t a 6th year candidate

Are we even sure Rowsey would want to play another year of college hoops?

He might say that he has proven he can play in the games he has already participated in this year, and he would rather go pro, wherever in the world that happens to be.  It's not like he is going to grow six inches between now and the 2019 draft, or markedly improve his stats.

Sure? No..but I am sure the kid would love to play another year if he had to miss the rest of this season. 

That being said, I am pretty hopeful that this isn't a long term injury.  Maybe miss the American game, but I think he'll be ready to roll by next week.  He seemed to be walking on it fine, and if they thought it was serious, I feel like he wouldn't have come back and it would have been on ice.  But I am no doctor.

At first it looked like an ACL injury the way he went down. Replay showed his back calf got stepped on by a player coming down which twisted his ankle and possibly caused a fracture to the leg bone. As long as thee is no break, I'd be happy to sacrifice Thrusday's game for no ACL injury.

I thought the hit to the head might have knocked him woozy and that was the whole thing. Never saw him limping at all. Were they looking at the knee/leg?

Were you watching a replay of the Packers game?  Davante Adams and  Rowsey look nothing alike.

yikes.

[GoldenZebra]

He'll be fine Im betting. Too much  over-reaction right now.

[Litehouse]

The refs called that play a travel on Rowsey, correct?

Yeah.  And I can understand why if they viewed the contact as incidental.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Btw Dickie Simpkins, Andrew Row "C"?  Sorry, it bugs me.  Row "Z" please.

Dickie Simpkins wasn't even in the Bradley Center last night. Talk about things that bug people.

[GGGG]

Yep.  It was Bardo, who is actually pretty good for a regional guy.  Much better than Simpkins.
