Is Niego eligible for a medical redshirt? If so, that may help explain why we weren’t super-worried about getting a big in 2020. Martindale has pretty good size and could create some PL mismatches if he remains a wing.

I believe he is eligible.
Good insight into the possible recruiting strategy.

To get that medical redshirt you must have a season ending injury (check) and not play in more than 30% of the season. He played in 10 of 33 games= 30.3%.
Does the NCAA round off numbers?

If that is the approach, one would think Nelson and the Athletic Department have reviewed the case with the NCAA and just waiting for formal sign off |

33 x .30 = 9,9 ... he can play in 10 games and still be eligible

Is the formula for regular season or does it include playoff/tournament games?

efg-I believe that only regularly-scheduled games count. In HC’s case last year, that # would be 32—13 OOC games, 18 PL regular season games and 1 PL tournament game. The first PL tournament game for each PL team would be considered to be a regularly-scheduled game because all 10 PL teams play at least one PL tournament game. If HC was in a league where not all of the league teams make the league’s post season tournament (e.g. the Ivy League), then the 32nd game would not have counted in the calculation. I think the calculation for Niego is 32 x .3 = 9.6 (round up to 10) and thus eligible for a medical red-shirt.

If that is the approach, one would think Nelson and the Athletic Department have reviewed the case with the NCAA and just waiting for formal sign off The formula allows one postseason game and it rounds up. So the magic number for a HC player to be allowed a hardship waiver would be 32. x 3 = 9.6 == 10. So he would be eligible. |

The PL determines it. Hopefully the HC AD Office and the PL know the formula better now than they did when both screwed up the Laura Aloisi "redshirt" situation. |

One issue, of course, with Niego and every other candidate for a hardship waiver is the very real possibility of the player opting to go somewhere else for a free masters degree. it has happened many times with mid-major players in recent years. Including RJ Evans of course. Pat Andree of LU transferred for a masters as did Tyler Scanlan, Monty Boykins, and Cheddi Mosely (who might not have been allowed back for his 5th year anyway). Nate Sestina is getting a masters at Kentucky - but he didn't have the option to return to Bucknell.

I wonder if Niego can keep both options on the table heading into his jr year, from an academic standpoint, at HC. I believe I have read here that HC requires a student athlete who plans on matriculating at HC for 5 years to declare a double major. I assume he or she would have to do that by junior year. |

The student-athlete would need to take multiple courses in a program other than his/her major, but neither a second major nor a concentration is required. The coach would have to support the application (not an issue, presumably), and, of course, the student-athlete would have to want to do it rather than get on with his life.
Other than Whearty and Keister, I can't recall any other MBB player here who's red-shirted - probably whiffing on somebody obvious.

i think we came to this conclusion previously, but still great news about niego. he has the potential to become a special player, especially as he has worked on his body, with his ability to stretch the floor and create matchup problems.

HC did file the necessary paperwork seeking a med RS for Niego.

RJ Evans had a medical redshirt which he used to play at UCONN as a grad transfer.
