I start him and the 1st offensive play goes deep down field to either cooper or black!

I had forgotten he was here in the spring. Makes me that much more comfortable with his knowledge of the system and I'm sure makes his desire to play that much stronger. Betting he plays....http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/08/injured_alabama_wide_receiver.html
thought it might be interesting to revisit this article from the beginning of the season. I hope we see him play this weekend.
I could be wrong, but IIRC, someone [who knows a lot mroe about cfb than I do] had posted that the rules surrounding a medical redshirt distinguished between games played early in the season v/ later in the season i.e. if, for example, the 2 games you played in were, say, in the first half of the season, then you were a potential candidate, but if they were in the latter part of the season, then you would not qualify.Didn't Darius Hanks get a medical redshirt one year and only have to sit out the first 2 games of the following season because he played in 2 games before he got hurt? Wonder if that could apply to Chris Black. Have him sit out the first 2 games of next season and still be able to redshirt him this year.
As another person said I think it has to be you play at the beginning of the year and then get hurt. Don't think it works the other way around but I'm no expert.2 games out of 12 regular season games would qualify for a med RS. This is why Jalston Fowler will certainly get this year of eligibility back but Kenny Bell and DeAndrew White are out of luck. The issue is that Black is poised to participated in post-season play and I don't know what the rules are for that situation.
The trick in it is that it has to be the injury which interrupts your continued play - and it's discretionary with the NCAA. That's the reason I said above that it's theoretically possible for a weaker player to not make the field until later in the year and have injury stop his year without the requisite number of quarters of participation - just very unlikely. It's just improbable in the extreme with a good player. Only a double injury (and there have been a few of those - OK had one happen a few years ago) would normally cause it with really good player.Also, as I said above, given his ability demonstrated in HS and the spring, without further injury, there's just no reason to think a med RS would ever be applied for...Yeah, common sense - though NCAA rules occasionally lack such - tells you that it means you were unable to play for over 75% of the season not you only played in less than 25% of the season. Otherwise, someone could get hurt in their first time on the field mid-season after working their way up the depth chart and get a med RS. It is only for players that get injured in the first or second game in all practicality. If you come back in the post-season or get hurt in game 3 and forward...you just used a year of eligibility.
