Who Are Our (or Will) Red Shirts?

jperg2 · September 29, 2007

Ok all... of the list of our 2007 recruits/signing class...

Do we know which qualify for a redshirt this year?

If so can you share this info with me so that I might be able to keep track of this on my site?

Those in GREEN I have down as having played this season (and are not able to redshirt).

It has been asked before, and people have debated what a redshirt involves as far as playing time...

Redshirt Definition

The term "redshirt" is used to describe a student-athlete who does not participate in competition in a sport for an entire academic year. If you do not compete in a sport the entire academic year, you have not used a season of competition. For example, if you are a qualifier, and you attend a four-year college your freshman year, and you practice but do not compete against outside competition, you would still have the next four years to play four seasons of competition.

Each student is allowed no more than four seasons of competition per sport. If you were not a qualifier, you may have fewer seasons of competition available to you. You should know that NCAA rules indicate that any competition, regardless of time, during a season counts as one of your seasons of competition in that sport. It does not matter how long you were involved in a particular competition (for example, one play in a football game, one point in a volleyball match); you will be charged with one season of competition.

Please contact the certifying institution or conference for additional information. You also may contact the NCAA membership services staff at 317/917-6222 if you have further questions.

Thanks...

What I'm looking for is not the definition of a redshirt... but those who may still be eligible to redshirt (hence fulfilling the definintion items noted in your post).
