w00t Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Anyone know for sure what year of eligibility Jimmy Conyers and Darryl Roberts will be in next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gozips19 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 SR. and JR. but both will have the oppurtunity to earn a 5th year if they are on course to graduate. very similar to corner and paris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Watcher Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 At the luncheon last week (I know .. slow to get the notes out), I asked about Jimmy specifically, and was told that they expect Jimmy to get his 4th year back. I think the phrase was "barring an unforseen disaster" .. or something like that.Everyone says that Jimmy is doing really well in the classroom.

Captain Kangaroo Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 At the luncheon last week (I know .. slow to get the notes out), I asked about Jimmy specifically, and was told that they expect Jimmy to get his 4th year back. I think the phrase was "barring an unforseen disaster" .. or something like that.Everyone says that Jimmy is doing really well in the classroom. I have heard the same...everyone expects Jimmy to be playing 4 full years at UA. Too soon to say for Roberts, but it speaks well for him that he's worked to be eligible this season. Since KD puts such a strong emphasis on graduation, I would be surprised if Roberts doesn't play the full 4 years too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w00t Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 If it holds that both of them can play four years, then it presents a good problem for KD to have in that he'll only lose one player after the 08-09 season... 2008-09Seniors - LinhartJuniors - C. McKnight, Conyers, BrooksSophomores - McNees, Roberts, B.McKnight, BardoFreshmen - Steward, Sweich, Parish, McClanahan, Hitchens, Sullivan, CventinovicThat's a lot of talent. A few redshirts are probably in order next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Watcher Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I've been wondering about Brooks. He is still on the roster, but doesn't seem as visible on the sidelines. Is he still around and practicing?And won't Brooks be just a Sophomore next season? The transfer year can eat up his redshirt season. He didn't redshirt @ Niagra before playing this year did he?

If he started 30 games last year, I doubt that he would've had any time to redshirt.He is sitting out for transfer rules, doesnt practice or even sit with the team that I know of, don't think he travels either....

Zip Watcher Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 That's odd .. sitting out due to transfer rules doesn't usually mean "no practice" .. I understand the "no travel" .. etc, but usually a transfer sitting out is able to participate in all practices / team drills .. etc.It's the academic sit-outs that have no practice permission during their time away.Hmmm ..
