Is the thought that he is supposed to apply for a medical redshirt and sit out this year?

I spoke with Lonnie following the SMSU game and he was not planning on taking a medical redshirt. His shoulder is getting better and he should be ready to go in the "next couple weeks."

Lonnie would have no need to take a "medical" redshirt in any case, since he played as a true freshman and as a sophomore. If he didn't play this year he'd still have two years of eligibility remaining. "Medical" redshirts only come into play for players seeking a sixth year of eligibility.

When he does come back, he'll be shaking off a lot of rust. He hasn't played regularly since early in the conference schedule last season. It'll be interesting to see how effective he'll be.

If he didn't play this year he'd still have two years of eligibility remaining. "Medical" redshirts only come into play for players seeking a sixth year of eligibility. That isn't always the case , Medical redshirts come into play in cases where a player plays some of the games then sustains a season ending injury then applies for redshirt. If a player gets hurt early in the year and plays in less than 20% (I think that is the percentage of games) of the games they are eligible for a medical redshirt. A good example is Alando Tucker who played 5 games and redshirted due to his foot or Virginia big man Mike Scott who played a few games last year and hurt his knee. |

Good point, but Lonnie obviously hasn't played yet. Until and unless he does, it's not an issue.

I haven’t read this on this board yet, so I apologize if I’m repeating this. Lonnie Boga is currently on the basketball roster at Drury University, a NCAA Division 2 program, in Springfield, MO. Oddly enough Drury University’s nickname is the Panthers. They also compete in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, the same conference as UW-Parkside. www.drurypanthers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=1530&path=Also, Drury University is the alma mater of the legendary broadcaster Bob Barker. www.drury.edu/multinl/story.cfm?ID=19540&NLID=121 |
