Redshirt Markus?
« on: October 11, 2019, 10:47:01 AM »
A big trend in college football is redshirting players after game 4 if your season is going off the rails.

I think we should look to redshirt Markus if we don't sweep Purdue and Davidson.   One thing to consider, he is young for his class and a extra year of development might be good for his game.

I would first check with the ortho doctor to see how much more height there is in his growth plates. He might be 6’7” after a year.

Of course, though, he would be graduate transfer eligible then and MSU would pick him up.

Has anyone actually followed the dumpster fire that it is Houston Cougar Football this year (where the idea of redshirting skilled players to delay them a year came from)?  Absolute disaster.  One of their players went on an epic Twitter rant against their coaching staff for the hypocrisy of preaching commitment and dedication to be successful, only to now start tanking the season in order to preserve everyone's status for next year.  Pretty damning stuff. 

I would be ashamed to be a fan and an alum of a school program that would do that (throw in the towel on an entire season) - especially after they just spend like $4 million annually on a new head coach.  Hilariously, Houston's President also went on record last year that the school will fire coaches for going 8-4.  I wonder what they do to coaches that finish 1-11? 

HUGE NO to redshirting seniors if the team encounters early season losses.  Fight until the end with what you have.

There was a question as to whether Markus would be back for his senior year. Do you honestly and realistically think he'd agree to redshirt his senior season and delay his ultimate goal of M2N?  That's just kooky talk.

In college basketball I wouldn't, unless the star senior actually had an injury and could make a comeback towards the end of the year but the only way to make the NCAA Tournament at that point would be the win a conference tournament.  But in college football when literally a single loss takes you out of contention for an NCAA title unless your school name is Alabama, Clemson, or Ohio State?  Sure, I'd definitely redshirt star players and see them come back the following season, and as a fan I'd be thrilled with that decision.

OR WORSE...

Coach K retires, Wojo takes the Duke job and Markus leads Duke to the National Championship.

I'd argue that so much more could go wrong than go right in that scenario.

Other schools can easily begin to use that as a negative recruiting tool "If you lose a game, you will be benched for an entire year, delaying opportunity to go to the pros, increasing odds of players potentially getting injured, etc."  Additionally, what's to stop a redshirted player from just transferring to become immediately eligible at another school?  At a place like Houston, which is a glorifed G5 program, they aren't playing for a CFP spot annually.  Their ceiling is a NY6 bid, and in a league where SMU is now up, Memphis remains up and UCF continues to recruit Florida well, schools like Houston can't afford to "take a year off" in hopes it will be better next year - especially since Houston ponied up big money to hire Hologorsen from WVU.  Not a good look at all.

Imagine if Marcus does take the shirt.  Then we miss the NCAA's, amd wojo is canned. 

Having a super senior like Marcus would be a very attractive piece to draw in a new coach.

Shabby looking train. The F9 locomotive set is older than I am and the colors show the age of the train itself.

Might be worse than Amtrak -- if that's possible.

College football has diff redshirt rules. In CBB, if you play a second of any game, you cannot redshirt.

Well, apparently we'd be planning -- in advance -- Markus's season-ending injury that would allow him to come back for a fifth year.   ::)

I'm sure that Lens was referring to losses in a controlled scrimmage with another school and an exhibition assuring that MU was eliminated from the NCAA Tourney prior to the start of the season.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
