Just for conversation

Da Coach said:
No, he will not be back next year. He will have used up his eligibility, and it is unlikely the NCAA would grant him a 6th year, even if Bradley requested it. Bradley probably won't have a scholarship available for him, and it's not likely they would even request the NCAA grant another year of eligibility.

I figured as much. Thanks for clearing that up

I was playing more of the 'what if' until we fill that last scholarship. Regardless JL and staff will have a bunch of options next year and will be able to wreak havoc in the match up game.
 
A littel of topic but EM received the scholie that Daniel West lost.....we are coming out here too with EM getting into BU having the grades and hopefully DW will get it sorted out!
Before its all said and done...EM will be a very good player for the Braves! :D
 
AW has the same injury that PG and AP had. Both of those players missed about 10 games, and were able to finish the season. However, neither was the same after their return. Do we really want AW at less than 100%? If we play smart basketball, continue to rebound, and continue to improve offensively we can be a top 4-5 team without AW. From what I hear though, a reshirt isn't being considered at this point.

I also heard that a R/S is not being considered. Hopefully he can heal quickly and be back really soon, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

probably, but should he wish to pursue his basketball career in college, his options DO include requesting a 6th year waiver from NCAA.
He actually is likely to be eligible since he lost two years to injury and has remained a good student.
And even if he chooses not to stay at Bradley, he could possibly be eligible to play at a DII or even another D-I if NCAA allows him to transfer as a graduate student and get a waiver to play immediately.
 
First of all, if Andrew was here a 5th year that team would be ridiculous and impossible to beat at home. Wouldn't Harris also be here?

But I think the red shirt probably isn't being considered right now, but might later. I think for one they don't want to send the message to any recruits that we give up on certain years and don't put forth every effort possible to win as much as possible. They may later only because they realize it's just not healing fast enough or he has set backs in practice.

Does anyone think that if Wilkins were to clear smoothly and make a big enough impact right away that this redshirt scenario would become more likely?

No. The decision rests solely in the hands of AW and his family. Whether Wilkins is here or not has no impact on their decision.
 
Again...just for the simple sake of conversation as I know nothing of EITHER guys current health status and hope BOTH guys get healthy and can play soon..

Medical R/S Egolf......R/S Warren....let the freshman get significant playing time....throw AT to the wolves.....hope Wikins gets clearance for this year and gets playing time......

Come out next year loaded for bear.
 
I agree, dogsrus. If Will Egolf is out for a significant amount of item, let's give him a medical red-shirt. There's too much potential we saw in Will to waste an entire season(if it comes to that).

Regarding AT, yeah, I want to see him get PT. As long as his deficiencies in practice are not attitude related, then I'm all for him seeing the floor. If he just needs to get into game shape, let him do it in an actual game.
 
No, he only played in 5 games this year. That's few enough to still qualify for a medical redshirt if needed.
 
With a healthy Egolf i feel like we had a shot at doing serious damage in the Valley. If Will takes a medical redshirt, do you think that impacts Warrens decision at all? I absolutely hate to throw away this year, and I dont mean to get down on any of our healthy players,but if we have no chance even in a down year for the Valley.....I just dont know
 
I seriously doubt any decision about Will would have an effect on Andrew's outcome. They will make that decision independently after he takes more time to recover.

I was thinking the same thing, but the problem is, we are kind of short on players now. We might start wearing the freshmen down.

I posted something similar last night. I havent seen us play since the exhibition games. Last night I noticed that we had some swagger and chemistry with Will in the lineup. Now we need Wilkins to qualify and bring back the swagger.
 
With our luck Wilkins won't qualify until next season.

If (and this is a big if) AW redshirts due to his injury then the only thing that I can really be happy about is that when the valley is on the upswing in the coming years Bradley has a serious chance to be at the forefront of it and at the very least be a major part of it. I can't even imagine that team in the '10-'11 season.....dangerous to say the least
 
Now we'll really get to see what kind of a coach Les is. He gave us a hint last year with the Ruff injury and "other" issues. I think he'll surprise and amaze us this year as well.

I can see this team rallying and scrapping their way to a successful season, and another postseason tournament.

Can anyone say MVC Coach of the Year ;)
 
That's the attitude I'm trying to take Braves4Life.

It's going to be a challenge, since our minutes at the 5 have to go to SS, DC, and AT. I'm hoping two or all three of them can really put it together for us.
