Anybody seen or hear how the rehab has been going? Is he taking part in Spring ball? Haven't heard his name mentioned.

Carl is not participating in Spring Ball, but his rehab the last time it was reported upon was ahead of schedule and he is expected back for this fall at 100%.

No way would he be ready to go in spring ball, but as long as rehab doesn't hit any setbacks he'll be back to his old self by the summer.

Gotcha. Thanks for updates. Hoping speed and explosiveness is close to what he was before injury.
Anybody know where he got his knee repaired?

my guess would be premier bone and joint.....but that guess is entirely speculativeMinnesotaPoke wrote: ↑Thu Apr 06, 2017 7:14 am Gotcha. Thanks for updates. Hoping speed and explosiveness is close to what he was before injury.

disclaimer: I could be wrong. I've done it before...I'll probably do it again.

Seems like tearing your ACL is no big deal anymore. Tons of other injuries can take you out for a year, too.
You would definitely be surprised on what they can do now with sports injuries and their rehabs. Heck I know quite a lot of orthopaedic surgeons now who are doing outpatient knee or hip replacements through their own outpatient surgical centers. Of course most of those patients are physically healthy too.

It's definitely the way that the field is transitioning. When you use your own outpatient center, you don't have to pay the hospital to rent their OR, rent their equipment, rent their anesthesiologists, etc. Most orthos are finding they will make more money by having their own facility.wyoair wrote: ↑Thu Apr 06, 2017 1:17 pm You would definitely be surprised on what they can do now with sports injuries and their rehabs.

What are you talking about? There is no redshirt year for him. He missed half a season and will be playing this season.BJC wrote:As long as he will be healed and have full ability back...this might have been the best thing for him...redshirt year....bulk up...a year older, etc.

Maybe he thought he got a medical redshirt (which he wasn't eligible for).laxwyo wrote: ↑Sun Apr 09, 2017 3:39 pmWhat are you talking about? There is no redshirt year for him.

Granderson was injured in the Air Force game which was the 6th game of the year. You can only apply for a medical hardship if you play in 30% or less of the games. Even counting the MWC game and the bowl game, the absolute most a player could have participated in and still be eligible was 5 games.
I wonder if that "30% rule" has any provisions for teams that play in the post season. It would seem unfair that the eligibility of an athlete seeking a medical redshirt would come down to how successful his team is that year.WestWYOPoke wrote: ↑Mon Apr 10, 2017 1:03 pm Granderson was injured in the Air Force game which was the 6th game of the year.

For example, some teams play 12 games and that's it. Another team could play 12 regular season games (13 if Hawaii is on their schedule), a conf. championship, and 2 playoff games. That's up to 4 more games! Seems like a slippery slope...
But it's the NCAA, so you can't use things like logic when thinking about itcali2wyo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 10, 2017 1:13 pmI wonder if that "30% rule" has any provisions for teams that play in the post season.

I'm not 100% certain on this, but the way I have been told by our compliance guy is that it is 30% of scheduled contests. Since Championship games and bowl games are not scheduled, they wouldn't count. The only reason I did the math using 14 games was to show that, even counting those games, he still would be ineligible for a waiver.cali2wyo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 10, 2017 1:13 pmI wonder if that "30% rule" has any provisions for teams that play in the post season.
