Maymon out indefinitely...

I have always been under the impression the transfer year is your red shirt year. Don't think he lost any eligibility. He left Marquette as a freshman, sat out a year and next played as a soph.

The general rule is that you get 5 years to play 4 seasons.

I think Maymon would most likely have to request a medical redshirt for his 6th year.

Not as much as most are making it out to be. You don't think Martin didn't use some of those lousy, non defensive performances as a teaching tool last season? Even the players admitted that it made them buy into the team aspect and to lock down on the defensive end.

I think part of that was because it was his first year. He let them try what they used to do and let them fail. I doubt he'll do the same this year since they know what he expects and how to succeed in his system.

Well, you got half of it right. You do get 5 years to play 4. But this will only be Maymon's 4th year in college, not his 5th. So redshirting him will not require a request for a 6th year.

That's typically correct, expect maymon is playing in his fourth year now, not fifth.

Maymon was a freshman, played half a season and transfered, sat out second half of year.

Sophomore year, he sat out the first half, played the second half of the season.

Junior year he played the whole season.

So he has only been in college this being his fourth year...he still has a redshirt to use if he chose to.

Easy way to remember is this, he was in Kennys's recruiting class, kenny is a senior and didn't redshirt...therefore same principle would apply to maymon.

Edit: Zans beat me to it.

You may be right, but I still find it hard to believe the NCAA would let a guy have a transfer year AND a redshirt year without there having to be an appeal process. I don't think that's what they intended when they set up the process. Maybe this is a loophole.

Let's hope this all just hypothetical.

Not sure what you mean by "transfer year" and "redshirt year". During the year a player transfers, he doesn't get to play and loses that year of eligibility. In Maymon's case he lost the last part of his freshman season and the beginning of his sophomore season. When a player redshirts, they don't play for the season, but they retain the year of eligibility. Q redshirted as a freshman and can still play for 4 more years.

Now a player can theoretically use his redshirt during his transfer year, but that is not what Maymon did.

"Zo is being VERY tight-lipped about it and I'm not really sure why because I do not get the impression that it's a serious matter in terms of potential time missed, like the bulk of the season or anything, the worst part just seems to be the timing.

In talking to a lot of people my feeling is--and let's be clear, this involves some speculation on my part--that the last surgery he had to clean up issues left from the original meniscus surgery was not thoroughly done. Sounds like there are still some 'loose bodies' floating around in there that are causing him some swelling and discomfort when he tries to push hard.

My guess is that they are going to scope him again to clean that stuff up, but no one, certainly not Zo, has told me for sure that he is going to have another surgery. Assuming he does have a scope and it's successful he should be able to get back towards the end of November I would guess.

Again, I'm not 100% certain that he's going to need another surgery but reading between the lines everything seems to point towards that being the case, at least to my way of looking at things."

Completely different defensive philosophies. Bradshaw survived in part because Pearl's teams played such an up and down chaotic game. CCM doesn't play defense like that and eventually an undersized guy is going to get exposed on the post.

I agree about their defensive philosophy. Just giving an example of a guy that was able to effective because he wanted to be, despite limitations. Bradshaw was exposed at times as well. Still, hustle, attitude, and grit can take a player a long way. I will feel much better about an undersized defender with those intangibles than an undersized defender without them. Q isn't much shorter than Maymon, and with proper technique and positioning, he should be able to compensate for the lack of bulk too if he wants to.

That's some tough luck guys. But if he were to redshirt, your 2013 class would be that much more impressive. Especially if Stokes returns.

once you have invaded the knee, there's a high chance it is never the same again, and the different pressure you may put on it due to injury can cause too much pressure on other areas of the knee and cause issues.

Stokes goes for 34 and 18 against NC State in Maymon's absence... carrying the Vols to victory on his way to a first team All American season. Who's with me?

I wish he would play at least 3 seasons at UT but not likely is it ?

Not completely unlikely. He may want to stay another year and get a chance to play with Austin (if he comes here) and Hubbs for at least a season. But it all depends on where he is projected to go. Passing up top 5 pick money would be foolish, but if not drafted in the lottery would kind of be testy to go.

I don't see him ever being top 5...agree if he's guaranteed lottery though he should go.

I heard a really good comparison for Jarnell the other day: Thomas Robinson.

Think he can be just as athletic as TRob? I see Thomas Robinson being in the league for a while. The body type is the same tho. I could see it.
