Any word on Riley getting a medical redshirt? Apo too?

Apo will have no problems, not sure about Riley.

have you heard about whether or not drew is going to be our return guy? i would be ok with jd falslev and drew phillips deep.

I don't know why we wouldn't keep Hoffman back there. His return numbers have been pretty solid. He doesn't seem like the returner type, but he's performed.

I am also very cautiously optimistic about Drew Phillips. He seems to be a stud in the making.

I think it may be Hoffman and Phillips with Falslev handling the punts.

Phillips is a legit 4.4 guy from what I am hearing with good return skills so he may be the game breaker we need. While Hoffman is probably a 4.6 guy but he has great vision and hits the hole with authority. They will compliment each other nicely.

I really hope he stops doing *THAT* before it is too late!

I think Riley could have a good chance of getting one. He hasn't used his redshirt yet. If he had, I would say the chances weren't good because of the mission.

Hoffman is safe (I think) he is dating a BYU cheerleader and from experience their legs are locked tighter than (insert any one of Goatnappers analogies here).

Tighter than the Provo 516th ward Laurel Class President on Prom Night!

If he does... man-- he should take a redshirt this year, too, and learn to play Free Safety...

The Medical RS he would get this year is his RS. The only way he gets another is if he gets injured again and misses a year. You can't take a medical RS and then a normal RS on top of that. In fact if you take a RS, while being healthy, and then get injured for a year after that RS you are not supposed to be awarded a medical RS for the injured season. The only time you get two RS years is if you are injured in both of those years, similar to what Vic So'oto got for 2006 and 2008.

He wouldn't get both. The medical redshirt would count as his redshirt and he would get that for this past season because he only played in 3 games. He wouldn't get a redshirt this year then be able to sit out next season to learn how to play safety. It doesn't work that way.

ah.. I wondered about that after I posted...

Unless while playing this year as a FS he is actually sitting out as he develops that "rib" injury that Marty Johnson had in 2001. CHEATERS!

Ah, it is sort of like the dislocated finger of Apo that just happened to keep him out all year after the first game. No way could have have come back. Those doctors should missed the diagnosis when they said 4-6 weeks when it happened. Doctors make mistakes all the time.

I heard that finger was a bit more than dislocated, though. I could be wrong.
