She had an ankle problem last year, IDK if it was serious enough to warrant a medical redshirt. JE was going to redshirt her anyway with Asjia, Bella and Mari ahead on the depth chart. Interestingly, she could be another 6 year player (med redshirt + regular redshirt year) if Ames plays this year and not her. But she played in the spring matches and on the European tour so she seems healthy now No, that’s not how it works. She would only get the one redshirt year, whether she was injured or not. She could apply for a 6th year waiver if she misses another year because of injury, but as of now it would for sure be denied. she can have a redshirt year and a medical redshirt year. One doesn’t take the place of the other. That’s how Kayla Caffey got 7 years (2016: redshirt year Missouri, 2018: medical redshirt year with Missouri, 2020-2021 covid year with Nebraska).

Not automatic. In Bunton's case, last season was a redshirt year regardless of reason including injury. You also don't get a second redshirt year regardless of reason, including injury. There is no such thing as a medical redshirt year though the term is thrown around a lot. If in the future Bunton were to miss a season due to injury, she can apply for the 6th year waiver as the poster referenced. Caffey didn't get a medical redshirt year. Since she had redshirted her true freshman season and then missed another season due to injury, she was able to apply for the 6th year waiver (7th year in her case) which was granted. If she had missed her true freshman season due to injury and then sat out another season by choice, she wouldn't have met the criteria of the 6th year waiver process.

It's a common misconception. The basic fundamental is you have 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility. Redshirt is a term used to describe a year not spent in competition so as not to use one of the four years of eligibility, while still staying within the five years of being able to compete. What we use to describe "redshirting" and "medical redshirt" are not literally defined that way by the NCAA. But the way we use those terms are simply different ways of complying with the 5 years to complete 4. A traditional redshirt is when the athlete simply doesn't compete for a year. A medical redshirt is the term used to describe when a player suffers an injury early enough in a season where they're granted an exception because of the injury. There is a formula applied that's known in advance by all parties. For example, Alexis Stucky for Florida has already been granted a medical redshirt for last season because she only appeared in 9 matches, which fits the formula the NCAA uses to determine a medical redshirt. The NCAA didn't get involved in giving her the medical redshirt. That was done at the conference level applying the formula set out for all athletes. What Caffey was given was a medical waiver. This is not the same thing as a medical redshirt. It's not possible to get both a redshirt year AND a medical redshirt year. It's one or the other. Really, it's simply a redshirt year, but given either because the athlete didn't play, or they suffered an injury early enough in the season to successfully apply in their case. The medical waiver is applied for to the NCAA - not the conference offices like a medical redshirt is - and is only done AFTER a player has exhausted their 5 years of eligibility. Not before. A medical redshirt is applied for to the conference office right after the season is over, and is rubber stamped based on whether they qualify under the formula or not. When the NCAA started granting medical waivers they were much harsher whether it would be granted or not. The application was - and still is, for that matter - a black box, with it not obvious who is on the committee making the decisions, or why they come to the conclusion they come to. It used to be that an athlete really had to lose two full seasons to injury, plus their redshirt year - so three full seasons out of the 5 years that were lost one way or another. In the last decade or so it's pretty universal an athlete simply needs to lose one year to injury, plus their redshirt year, whatever the cause, and they'll be granted a 6th year of eligibility for a medical waiver. In the above example of Alexis Stucky, at this point she will not be granted a medical waiver at the end of her eligibility, because she's getting a medical redshirt. If, on the other hand - and I'm not trying to manifest anything here - she were to lose another full season due to injury, then she would almost certainly be granted a 6th year of eligibility. This is true whether it's a new injury, or it simply takes her a full season to recover and she'd not able to play this year. Not saying any of that is going to happen. Just using it as an example of how the process is applied. It can get confusing not only because we use terms incorrectly in common parlance, but also because the NCAA can grant waivers for all kinds of reasons. For example, Lauenstein will likely be granted a 6th year of eligiblity because of her pregnancy. Student athletes who participate in a mission trip - most commonly applied to Mormons, but it's not specific - also have their years of eligibility extended. Or more accurately, those years do not count towards their 5 years. Either or. Also, football now has a special rule where players are able to participate and still earn a redshirt if they play in fewer in than 4 games in a season. I have a personal relationship with a student athlete who was granted a redshirt even though they played 10 minutes their freshman season, even though the rule is pretty cut and dried that she shouldn't have been able to be classified as a redshirt. Nonetheless, even with all the waivers and exceptions regarding redshirts and rules of eligibility - and I have a strong feeling we'll see some changes along with all the other changes coming down the pike for college sports - the basic fundamental of 5 years to play 4, and how the terms redshirt and medical redshirt apply to that fundamental rule, haven't really changed all that much for decades. It's simply that we've confused the terms on message boards and various watercooler dialogues to change the meaning of the terms, and to use them interchangeably for circumstances they don't really apply to. I hope that makes some sense.

http://instagram.com/p/C9oUQaFMm1E Thoughts from U19 NORCEA: Harris mostly split time at setter but she looked really good. She was awarded Best Setter of the championship, and did a great job distributing the ball. Meanwhile, Anderson was impressive in her own right. She showed versatility to play on both the right and left side. She has a naturally strong arm swing that will be fun to watch as she gets older and stronger, and she held up in passing as well (2.31 in pool play). The team subbed a good amount, and the level of opponent wasn’t elite but both Texas players showed a lot of promise.

All 3 of the 2026 recruits were named 16U Club First Team All-Americans! It’s just Prepvolleyball but still nice to see the recognition.

This is an emergency headcount broadcast. You must now go back to your spreadsheets and re-think it all over again!

Y’all think we go after Stowers?? To me seems like a no brainer (especially if the scholarship increase happens as expected). Great 6 rotation player.
