Watching game day Pelini just announced it.
-
Wow didn't expect that. You have to wonder what kind of shape and preparation he has.
SDSU was smart and isolated their TE and backs on our LB, who lost the battle due to speed. Wright would help there.
Great to be adding a good player at this point of the season, usually you're just losing them to injury.
Welcome back.
-
I knew the semester was ending soon. It was only a 1 semester suspension. Now do we want to use him or wait until next year?
-
AA. That's the million dollar question. If he plays on Saturday I would think that he wouldn't be able to play next year
-
Very good question. He was our best LB last year and is definitely an upgrade over Kelly and Pinnock.
-
As much as I would love to have him for the next 4 games, I would rather have him for 11 plus games next year
-
Very confused. :o
The semester isn't actually over so how is his suspension over?
"Wright’s civil complaint before Judge Sweeney said Wright had lost a full athletic scholarship to YSU and was barred from attending fall semester classes there."
(source: http://www.vindy.com/news/2016/aug/31/ysu-player-remains-suspended/).
I know he wasn't removed from the team though as it covers that too. But is he not ineligible if he isn't attending fall semester classes? I don't know enough about NCAA athletic eligibility, which is why I'm asking?
Also, if he is eligible, unless I really don't understand how eligibility works ???, may as well let him play. He already redshirted, in 2013 at App State. He came here in 2014 and didn't play. He played last year as a redshirt Soph... so if he is losing this year of eligibility due to already having redshirted, and he is eligible to play I say let him.
Can anyone confirm my assumptions on the situation above?
-
2013 - Redshirt at Appy State
2014 - Redshirt Freshman at YSU
2015 - Sophomore at YSU
2016 - Would be junior season
Unless I'm missing something, he would be back next year regardless of whether he plays Saturday.
-
That's what I was getting at too Valley. It seems like he is losing his junior season regardless and may as well play if he is indeed eligible while not taking Fall classes...
-
Pelini said he did what ever was required to be reinstated. He also stated he has been practicing with the team all season.
-
Let him play. Even if its just on special teams for now because he's obviously not in game shape, it'll get him in. The kid is a tackling machine.

Pelini certainly made it seem otherwise.
-
If he is already red-shirted, then he might as well play. The rule is simple. You have 5-years to complete 4-years of eligibility. So yes he could play this year and next. The NCAA now sweetens the deal by offering those who graduate within 4-year and extra year of eligibility.

I do not have the answers. However, since he was suspended by the university committee for disciplinary reasons and not by NCAA, the NCAA rules might not apply here.
I am sure what the university rules are. I do know this, the university could waived the suspension at their discretion. He might also be suspended for the regular season only. He does not need the scholarship to play football. The university could also reinstate hie scholarship. He might also have registered for the next semester.
In the past, incoming Freshmen were able to play football before the official start of the fall term under the old Quarter system (started in late September). They have not yet attended any classes. This could be the reason. However, the academic semester will not be officially over till the second Sunday of December.
I guess only YSU can provide the answers.
-
I wonder if this has something to do with Moss not being able to play this Saturday. I have never really watched our back up defensive ends play, but I've watched plenty of film on Pinnock prior to his arrival at YSU. He was primarily a DE and was very effective rushing the passer in the Juco ranks

Idc what Bo said. Practicing full speed and playing in an actual game are completely different. I'm sure he could play, just not every defensive snap.

What is the status on Moss?
-
What is the status on Moss?
Hasn't practiced all week

Hasn't practiced all week
Pelini said on the show that he has been sick the past day or so.

Yea, he is sick with a twisted ankle.

I thought that Tressel suspended him for the season and was allowed to stay in school. Technically the season is over. Maybe that is the loophole.
Go Guins!

My understanding from reading the Vindicator articles was a University panel consisting of two faculty members and a few students decided this one. I never read anywhere that Tressel had a say this, although he could have.
-
The most perplexing thing is he isn't in school for the fall semester, and that semester is not over until December as Double E pointed out. It could very well all be kosher, I'm just questioning because the whole thing is really strange, and I would just like to know for knowledge sake at this point :)
-
No Tressel involvement here in the slightest. People, aside from halftime interviews ... he is university president and nothing else.
-
Hopefully his JR year will be 5 games long.

Tressel usually does not involve in something like this. Discipline of students is up to the committee including students and faculty members.
The committee could have handed down the discipline for him to sit out the regular season during the Fall semester. If post season games are considered to be outside this window, he might be allowed to play if he is officially registered for the Spring semester. The registration for Spring semester started 3 weeks ago starting with student athletes, student employees and Seniors. It is possible that he has already registered.
As I said, I am just guessing.
-
Well he's back and he's a very welcome addition!

That's the bottom line---and all I care about 8)
-
He did not play?
-
Saw him on special teams a bit.
-
He played a little but I think he will play a lot in the next game :)
