Played last 10 seconds of first half.

Still recovering from mono, which sidelined him for 6 weeks. He will likely redshirt I think, but who really knows.

Redshirt's already burnt. With fulkerson playing injured it's unlikely he finishes the season. Aidoo will probably play more against the cupcakes to prepare for conference. Missing half of preseason practice needs to make up for it while he can.

Redshirt isn't burnt.
New rules coming plus "Injury" redshirt.
He likely won't red shirt anyways as he has big upside

Medical redshirt isn’t burnt

He's only played in 3 games, right? 4 max. So, how is his redshirt burnt? I thought you could play in a certain percentage of games before that happened.

The 4 game rule only applies to football. In basketball I’m pretty sure the rule still is that if you play at all it burns the redshirt. There is a process for a medical redshirt as BTO said but the NCAA does not have to grant it. And they probably wouldn’t without evidence that Aidoo actually had a season ending injury.

That hasn’t passed yet in basketball, it’s expected too…thought is it would be more like 6-8 games in hoops.

They’re super lenient on granting medical redshirts if you meet the criteria

Mono in the off-season probably doesn’t qualify though. Didn’t he get some garbage minutes against ETSU?

 

[johnfnkelly]

Aidoo isn't a 4 year player so a redshirt wouldn't matter anyways lol.

You don’t know that. I’m sure most of us thought Josiah wasn’t a 4-year player when he committed, but it’s looking increasingly likely he will be.

He's 6'11 with a 7'4 wingspan and can shoot. He'll be drafted off potential/ measurables alone in 2-3 years.

 

[golfballs]

Give him Uros’ minutes

Because of all his injuries mostly.

Can probably claim it as having an effect he couldn’t get over, or the commonly used “high ankle sprain” always works too.

If this leads to a medical redshirt thread again for 5 pages I’m banning people

Yeah playing afterwards pretty much takes that off the table. He’d have to have a long term injury or another long term illness to qualify at this point

How many games can a player participate in and still qualify for a red shirt season? Is it four like in football?

It’s really all moot because it’s clear the staff never intended to RS him anyway. The only RS this year will be Tamba

Non-medical redshirt gets burned as soon as a player enters a game. They are debating allowing kids to play a set number of games and keep a redshirt, but it wasn’t passed this year.

Appears they would like to rs the Frenchman

Would that make him a “redshirt Frenchman” next season?
