Is Fanuzzi redshirting?

[Tide & Titans]

I believe it was only one series but it was enough to burn the shirt.

You have 3-4 games before you have to give up your redshirt. If he doesn't play anymore this season he'll definately be back as a RS Freshman next fall.

You are incorrect. The situation you are describing only applies to players who sustain early season injuries.

I'm so confused...i thought if you played a play, that your redshirt is gone...unless you are injured .. :conf2:

can anyone clear this up?

if if it was number of snaps wouldn't Mccoy be a redshirt? isn't he the one that only played a handful of snaps last year?

Not at all true.

He just wanted to get Fanuzzi some playing time in case JPW struggled this year he would be able to know that he could put him in to light up the offense or get JPW back on track. Wait thats McElroy....no thats just what makes sense now I get it!

"We were close" or "Its a process" whats the difference.

One came from a clueless mediocre coach. The other came from a coach with a history of championships.

You are correct it is one play, one snap, one anything in a season.

here's a snippet from the ncaa website.

Redshirt Definition

The term "redshirt" is used to describe a student-athlete who does not participate in competition in a sport for an entire academic year. If you do not compete in a sport the entire academic year, you have not used a season of competition. For example, if you are a qualifier, and you attend a four-year college your freshman year, and you practice but do not compete against outside competition, you would still have the next four years to play four seasons of competition.

Each student is allowed no more than four seasons of competition per sport. If you were not a qualifier, you may have fewer seasons of competition available to you. You should know that NCAA rules indicate that any competition, regardless of time, during a season counts as one of your seasons of competition in that sport. It does not matter how long you were involved in a particular competition (for example, one play in a football game, one point in a volleyball match); you will be charged with one season of competition.

I believe the coaching staff knew they were going to get Star Jackson...who committed the Monday after the first game I think...so they decided to play Fanuzzi knowing his extra year of eligibility wouldn't be critical. I hope he does get a chance to have an impact on the team though.

Hopefully, Coach Saban knows that within 4 years even Star Jackson will be struggling to find a starting job within our depth chart at QB. No sense in Fanuzzi taking up a valuable scholarship in 2011.:wink:

I don't look at this as a bad thing at all. It wouldn't bother me if all our players got a few snaps, except for the OL'men that really need time to bulk up and learn the offense. If each recruiting class nets guys that are superior to the ones we have it will only create competition. It may be even worse to redshirt a guy that will never be more than a backup, as he will tie up a scholarship for another year that a possible 5 star could get.

sorta stole my thunder, i started my msg. aout 3 hrs ago and got called away. Yes this is how i see it also. If they can contribute now, let um. It may be harder to get on the field in a year or two if we can sign who we are going after.

Is this the way the rule has always been? I knew that it was the current rule but I was thinking that in the past it was based on a # of downs played or some percentage. Any truth to that?

While I agree with the general idea of your post, I don't think our recruiting will ever be so good that we have to turn down a 5 star due to scholarship limits. That would mean that we were recruiting nothing but 5 stars guys. A quick glance here reveals that nobody comes close to doing that.
