Can we please take Jeronne Maymon off the scholarship table?

[ecompt]

I don't think anyone here wants to be reminded of his tenure.

A little dramatic. Dude wasn't Niv Berkowitz.

If not for his father, Maymon would've been a solid contributor all four of his seasons at Marquette.

Yes, I'll remove his forward years, but he'll still be listed (maybe with an asterisk) for this year.

What about Otule?  Won't he be considered a sophomore next year, since he was redshirted this year?

[Niv Berkowitz]

Thank you Golden Avalanche! Thank you!

I don't think he can be officially red-shirted since he played in 3 "real" games.  Now, the NCAA may grant a medical redshirt since he didn't have that much playing time, but I haven't heard that we've even asked yet (please correct me if I'm wrong).

In general though, if you play in any games during a season, it's too late to take a red-shirt year.

So Junior has been officially redshirted and Otule has not?  Can anyone confirm?

I would be shocked if Otule was not granted a medical redshirt. I believe the threshold for qualifying for a medical redshirt is playing in less than 20% of a season's games. CO certainly qualifies. This is how Alando Tucker played against us five times.

[SqueallyDRyan]

CO will qualify for a redshirt

Right.  I think Rocky is just trying to say that they haven't applied to the NCAA yet asking for the medical redshirt.

He will get one, he just hasn't gotten one yet.

So.  Was there an official announcement that Junior was red-shirted?  I haven't seen anything - and I have looked.

All redshirts applications are not submitted (or awarded) until after the season is complete.  Therefore, technically, neither Junior or Chris have been officially granted a redshirt.  However, it is almost a certainty that both will be.

Buzz has implied in a couple pressers that Otule's redshirt is all but certain.

[Nukem2]

Had an opportunity to speak with Steve Cottingham on Saturday.  He stated tht Chris is getting a medical redshirt and will have 3 years left.

That's the best confirmation I've heard.  Tonight I'll change the table with these updates.

[spiral97]

If you do that then you might be telling opponent coaches that Otule might be playing against them in 2013... sure we want to reveal that information and risk them being able to game plan around it?

MR. HAYWARD is actually Bobby Huggins.  If you perma-ban him it will take care of this problem 

[MR.HAYWARD]

i think the reason he has not been taken down is becuase of the rumors that he may want to come back

[ecompt]

My comment on Jeronne's being taken off the scholarship table was not meant as a slap at the young man, Golden Avalanche. I was only referring to the manner in which he left.

[Silky]

Give it a rest ecompt.  You don't know what all went down.

[rocky_warrior]

Ok, its updated...

Wow. That 2010-11 season is going to be critical. Vander's going to be the man and Jamail will hopefully step up cuz 2011-12 looks REALLLLLLLLLLY lean.

I assume that's sarcasm?  

Anyhow, moving Otule out a year made it look really odd with DJO being the only senior.  Nonetheless, in 11-12 Otule will be and "old" junior, Junior will be an "old" soph,  and Mbao will be a legit junior, about the time big men turn it on.  

That's not even mentioning Vander (who some think will already be in the NBA by that time), Jamail, Ewill and Reggie who I think with both be very good players before they're done at MU.

Ok, I admit it, I'm always optimistic for future season, but just looks like a TON of talent to me - without even knowing who the other 5 potential scholarship players will be.

Not sarcasm at all, Rocky.

Just looking at the players who will be battle-tested and have lots of game experience. Not much.
Talent? sure...but lots of experience will be gone in 2010-11.
The great hope is that Otule and Junior stay healthy, improve tons, and are productive this season and off-season.

[ecompt]

Silky, I don't particularly care why or how it happened. It didn't work out. He's gone.
