SEC allows for playing up to 30% of games before redshirt is burned. Question is will he play without any game experience this year. I say yes if only to allow Samuels, Condon and Haugh a few minutes of rest. It should be noted that in a number of our most recent games, Micha got into early foul trouble and would be used sporadically to give breaks to the other bigs. Stats were not overly impressive but he played a role. Shimmy can do the same.
Is the 30% rule for all redshirts, or just medicals? Everything I can find says if they play in one game, they burn a year. If they suffer a season ending injury and end up playing in less than 30% of the games, they can qualify for a medical redshirt. You can’t come back and play at the end of the season and still apply for a medical rs though. The injury is no longer season ending if they come back and play at the end of the season.
