That's great news and even one more reason to be glad to have at least one more game. I understand he won't contribute much after that much time off but for him to take the court even for a few minutes would be a great thing.

This is fantastic news. Even more reason to see the seniors out there on Wednesday Night.

Can anyone site any sources to this?

Are there enough games that he could conceivably get an extra medical hardship year if we win out? 


never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game

I think the scenario was make the MAC championship game and make the National Championship or the CBI championship (game 3 of best of 3).

I've not done the Math but Christian said all we had to do was make the national championship game so I'm assuming he meant by winning out. Not sure if that was before we knew our tourney seed or not, but the CIT doesn't have enough games anyway.

I believe I read some one posting on here that he would have to play in less than 30% of the games this year. He played in 13 before he was hurt, so I don't believe so. There are always appeals though.

With Johnson having played 15 games, Ohio would have to have 50 games to get to the point where he played only 30 percent. Even if one game wasn't counted because he played only a few minutes before being injured, Ohio would have to get to 46 games, so a medical redshirt is out of question barring an exception and I don't know why there would be one.

You may want to hold onto that last statement after you hear the news about one of the other seniors.

I don't think the 15 games is accurate, but the math still won't work.  Included in that is @EMU, which shows as him played but there is no way he did.  Also included in that is senior day, in which he literally played for 3 seconds at opening tip.  That gets us to 13.  If you could somehow convince them to exclude the game he got injured in (in which he played 7 minutes), that would get it down to 12.  Which would mean we would have to play 40 games.  Wednesday will be our 35th, and making it to the CIT final would get us to 39.  It is not completely impossible to argue 12/39 equaling 30.7% is close enough...bu doubtful.  And it would assume Rico still not playing despite him being cleared to play and Ohio playing for 2-3 more weeks.

Right, I knew 15 like the stats say seemed high but that it included Senior Day. Should be 14, though. Injury was in 13th game plus Senior Day is 14. I doubt the NCAA would exclude either the injury day or Senior Day.

Unfortunately I would believe that an "official" appearance means a game, and by starting and logging even 1 second of floor time means a game.

In my mind, I like to think he's getting scoops via telegraph. Or maybe even telegrams.
