Richie Springs Academic Redshirt

[bendm]

And if u don't like it, you might be upset about the plan for Javonte Brown Ferguson.

just upset we can't get a freshmen big that can actually play their first year on campus. here's hopin we break the trend in 2021 if what you're saying is true

Dudes. Look at his Instagram. This has been determined for a while. On sept 28 his post has #sitoutyear... take a xanax

 

[uconnbill]

Some need to get off the ledge about his redshirting. It is best for the young man for him to learn the system and get use to the work load of being a college student.

I feel fine about this, as should all of us. Give him time to get stronger and practice against his teammates for a year

 

[Rico444]

So id he ain't 'ready', why was he brought aboard now???

Read the post directly above yours.

 

[formerlurker]

Not a big deal. My parents would say I took an academic redshirt my Freshman year too.

 

[CL82]

Well we have Matt Garry

Best walk on ever!

 

[bazz&boujee]

if we were expecting this guy to play minutes next year anyway we’re screwed

 

[3rdbass]

Sounds like he might have some academic issues that needed to be worked out besides just a pure basketball move.

We've had 3 years in a row get derailed by injuries. I'm fine with making decisions based on fear of injury

You've also threatened to lay down on I-84. I'm not surprised you weren't consulted.

You mean this year.

 

[bazz&boujee]

You mean this year.

haven’t seen espn gameday in gample yet season hasn’t started for me

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

What an atrocious start for our top 20 2019 class. One missed a month of practice with an ankle injury, another one got arrested and will almost certainly be suspended, and another one is redshirting because he’s academically ineligible. I’m sure I’ll get panned for speaking the truth here but this is no bueno.

Not worth panning.

Also truth:
It's year 2 of a rebuild.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Presumably to get him ‘ready’ for next year

It would be awesome if there was a way to get him on campus, get his academics straightened out, practice, lift weights and learn Hurley's system and still have four years of eligibility.

 

[Ewekon]

Uhm...what’s the point?

Just get the biggest 1 year Cleft. Cannot hurt. Long he is eligible. 5 extra fouls cannot hurt.

You've also threatened to lay down on I-84. I'm not surprised you weren't consulted.

oh my, relax...

 

[David 76]

Upset because we got him to fill an immediate need. Glad people are so gung-ho on Whalley, but we haven't seen his game improvement. We desperately needed Spring to play 10 minutes of.D and rebounding.
If Springs wasn't ready academically or basketball- wise, someone goofed.
Will it kill us? No. But it's a bad sign

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

oh my, relax...

I think that's more my line, but OK, whatever.

 

[MSGSeven]

For those who didn't attend the open practice Springs would've helped us this year

 

[ASweet3781]

per the Horde- it wasn’t our idea to redshirt him. He didn’t clear NCAA clearinghouse.

[kansashusky]

Everyone talking about academic ineligibility is off.

Think of this as locking up a player in recruiting and having him basically as an on campus post graduate year. Practice with team, build physically, save 4 years of eligibility.

And if u don't like it, you might be upset about the plan for Javonte Brown Ferguson. See a pattern?

Akok

Lol you have no idea what you are talking about.

we literally cannot have an ounce of excitement in this program without it getting shot out of the sky

I'm aware that it's generational thing that has spawned discussion and memes, but look up the meaning of "literally." Maybe ounce too.

OK, now I can relax.

Hans, people have been using "literally" in this way since at least James Joyce's "The Dead." Probably long before. Not a hill to die on.

 

[BuckleyNerd]

It blows my mind how a kid can go to some elite prep school with the best secondary academics in the country and somehow can't qualify academically. Does anyone know if these kids who go to those schools get the "athlete treatment"? I (perhaps naively) thought part of the sell at places like MacDuffie was their academic/college prep...
