Adou Thiero redshirt possibility?

[Mike-McD]

If he can't come back, he's qualified to take a medical redshirt according to the rules, if I read them right.

1. The injury must be season ending.

2. The player must not have played more than 30% of the games (he's played 10).

3. The injury must have occurred before the midway point of the season.

All three apply.

Just wondering what will happen but if he can't come back, he could take this option.

 

[cawoodsct]

I'd imagine he will go pro after next season, so i doubt he'd need 2 more.

 

[ukfan1622]

Do post season games count when figuring the percentage?

 

[ukfan1622]

I agree. I expect him to be one of the most athletic seven footers in the country by next year.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Yes

 

[YardCat]

He needs to stay and play to prove he is healthy before he declares. I would love him to stay 2 more years.

 

[drew_ukfan]

Probably gone after this season anyway

 

[MatteoV25]

Barring any setbacks, he's playing soon. May even be tonight, more likely Saturday though.

Fingers crossed. With him in the lineup, we truly are a championship contender.

I can't see why he'd be gone. We don't have anybody expected back or signed at the 4 that would put him on the bench so I expect him to be our starter next year.

We need Adou......
THIS YEAR!!
If we are going to make it where we all want to go, Adou is needed badly on this team.

We will realize how bad we need him if we have to play UT without him available to play.

We have no one other than Adou that can defend Knect or whatever his name is.

Yup.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

I’m hoping for tonight!

 

[KA4Prez]

Spotted in a jersey at practice.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Not sure I see him making it to the NBA unless he plays. And honestly the way he was playing, he really should come back this year and maybe he could show out as a 3 and D guy with tons of potential.

But he's still firmly in the "project" category. Font think he's on any draft radar.

Problem is UT has no one to defend Z, Reed, Wagner, Reeves, Dilly, etc, either.

We have like 4 to 5 of that guy. Our guys just don't get to hog it up like him and shoot a 100 times a game.

 

[TFCats11]

Every sports writer that covers UK basketball will want to get the scoop about his status tonight, so what time do these things get announced?

Seriously? Don't you know by now that Cal doesn't believe in his players redshirting?

 

[crawfords corner]

Who is the last red-shirt player Coach Cal had?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Who is the last red-shirt player Coach Cal had?

D Allen. Not sure before that.

 

[BigKari]

D Allen. Not sure before that.

Jemarl Baker I’m pretty sure.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Jemarl Baker I’m pretty sure.

He got a ton of mileage out of that redshirt lol.

 

[G-PIP]

Fingers crossed. With him in the lineup, we truly are a championship contender.

I wonder if it'll take Thiero some time to get comfortable, mainly psychologically, that he is fine to go all out?

 

[permdaddy]

Has Cal ever questioned a player not playing like this before?

People on here have been saying stuff similar.

Only Thiero knows his own body but if he's practicing and dunking and so on. Kinda weird.

Just saw that and don't get it. Is it not Cal's decision? Adou making the call not to play? Training staff?

yeah, I was wondering if it was aimed at Adou or the medical staff...

Only someone named Thaedon Tharpe.

 

[struggler]

Love the team and the winning. That said THIS is the kind of bullshyt Cal pulls every year. Cryptic injury crap and acting like he is lost and cannot possibly get or give correct information.... so instead will send out a complete lie (general soreness) and trickle out game time decisions/indecisions. It's childish and unprofessional - makes him look like/confirms he is full of it. Vintage Cal though - year in and year out. Bank on this type of behavior. Last year Wheeler's mysterious/must operate now tailbone.

Again not to confuse - love the team and players and the winning - not a fan of this type of petty foolishness.

 

[catben]

It read like Cal was definitely calling out Adou. Even said if the other players continue to play well, he could get left behind!!!

CRAZY!!

He might be fed up with his crap. Hard to imagine, but nobody knows what's going on.

Probably a window into just how much the Shaedon Sharpe thing pissed him off.

Whose call is it to determine season ending. Suppose a player is injured in game 7-8 and the team play 32 - 33. That would be less than 30% and before midway. When is season ending determined. A player and a coach would be foolish to bring a player back with only 5-6 games left so it seems to me a player can say they have pain and no one knows their body and thus it is season ending. Am I correct?

 

[permdaddy]

I took it as he hasn't been medically cleared but who knows it's so subjective.

You must not have watched UT play this year if you think UT won't have anybody to guard our guards.

Vescovy will have 6-7 flop fouls on us in the first half.

Zeigler can defend the ball regardless of who is at point.

If you think South Carolina is grabbing and holding, you just wait until you see UT play half court defense.

 

[MychalG]

I read where Cal does not know why he isn't playing? WTF..you make $9 mil to know why..

 

[MychalG]

Theiro's dad is probably the one telling him to play.
