The NCAA changed football redshirting rules for this season to allow participation in 4 games and still being eligible to redshirt. Anyone know what the limits are in basketball?


I know its still way early but our obvious possibilities are Octavion Corley -2 games, Carlos Curtis -4 games, Bo Hodges -3 games(injured who knows?), Lucas N'Guessan -0 games (transfer sitting out but possibility of waiver).

Any one care to share any info or elaborate.

I'm not sure if you meant something like this or were looking for news about our specific players. Anyway below is from the NCAA :

Redshirt: In Divisions I or II, redshirting refers to someone who is enrolled full-time at a school, but does not play for an entire academic year for the sole purpose of saving a season of competition. A redshirt does not play in any college games or scrimmage in a given sport for an entire academic year, even though that student is otherwise eligible. If you do not play in a sport the entire academic year, you have not used a season of competition. However, if you play in even one second of a game as a college student-athlete, you are not a redshirt.

I wasn't able to pierce through the veil of the NCAA site to find anything on medical redshirts. This is from a news source :

Medical Hardship Exemption

The NCAA allows a seriously injured athlete to extend her eligibility period through a medical hardship exemption, commonly referred to by media outlets as a "medical redshirt," though the NCAA does not use this terminology.

An athlete can qualify for this exemption if she has a documented, incapacitating injury or illness that occurred in the first half of the basketball season and the student-athlete has not participated in more than two contests or dates of competition or 20 percent of her team's scheduled contests, whichever number is greater.

What I gather from this is that any player who has stepped on the floor for the BUCS this year during a game is not eligible for a standard "redshirt." They would have to have a medical injury sufficiently severe and additionally they would have had to play limited minute. Hodges probably qualifies for the medical hardship and it is possible that Corley might because of the concussion issue earlier, but Curtis (barring some unrevealed injury) would not. As far as N'Guessan goes if he gets his waiver, I assume it would be for him to play immediately.

Thanks Big Island

Let em all play!

Corley might get redshirted unless there is an injury.

From what I read on the NCAA site, unless it is related to an injury, Corley would not be able to redshirt as he has played in a game. They were most emphatic about that, specifying that if a player plays "even one second of a game as a college student-athlete" they are not a redshirt.

I thought there was a number of games that could be played like in football. Guess I am wrong.
