Elliot is doing whatever it takes to win. Kudos to him. I do feel bad for the elite freshmen that probably thought they had a path to play early, but that's life.
Now Skinner, please land some middles to try to at least put up a fight against Texas next year...

Hmm. I mean, she's not pregnant during the season that the redshirt would be sought for though, in fact it would be over a year later with another season entirely having passed. I'd be curious if there's any further detail on that exception. Based on what they are saying, the 2023 season would be the pregnancy season. 2024 would be a typical redshirt. Per the above rule, Texas could extend her five-year clock because of her pregnancy in 2023.

My hunch is Whitney will redshirt, and use her baby birthing year as a medical redshirt. With both Jenna and Madi leaving after 2024, we’ll be young at the pins, so Whitney could fill that learning curve gap for a couple years. RIP everyone else, I’m sorry babes maybe redshirt due to shoulder recovery '24 Whatever they need to sell it to the committee. She slots in nicely for two years if she sits, and can help train our incredible ‘25 class along.

I mean you have Devin as the perfect example of someone who’s the starting 6-ro Opp for the U21 NT multiple years and not getting significant playing time You don't think she's going to get better with reps and higher competition in the Texas gym with this roster? No lol And I’m so sick of people saying this and I like Texas lol Scrimmage and Drill reps are not a substitute for High pressure game rep

(I'm mostly just joking... I think... but which "member institution" does the approving in this case, Nebraska or Texas? :-) To answer seriously, it may be Texas. I would think you couldn't approve it until the athlete actually misses a season (though might be different with a pregnancy) and she wasn't in school this fall. Don't know if Nebraska could approve it for an athlete that wasn't currently enrolled so it could end up being Texas that approves it when she starts classes. You don't worry about extending it until it needs extending. So in spring of 2026, Texas would approve the extension of her 5-year clock.

Which means she could redshirt 2024 and play 2025 & 2026? but didn't she have her baby prior to the 2023 season? So I would think that 2023 would be a redshirt. I don't think your clock stops if you take a year off school mid-season. I know nothing about the rule except the excerpt posted but 2021 1 of 6 [1 of 4 years to play] 2022 2 of 6 [2 of 4] 2023 3 of 6 not in sport, apply for a medical redshirt? 2024 4 of 6 redshirt 2025 5 of 6 [3 of 4] 2026 6 of 6 [4 of 4] Also not how it works for a mid year enrollee?

Not if she has NT aspirations, which at this point if she can’t beat out non All Americans at either pin position then that might be off the table, but you never know. Getting reps against the same blockers and defenders might help her develop but it’s not the same as playing in high pressure situations. If she has professional aspirations she should be somewhere she can play and start adding to that highlight reel

I don't think your clock stops if you take a year off after you've started playing for D1 college. There are a number of circumstances that can stop a D1 athlete's clock: military service, Mormon mission. in women's hockey, the US and Canadian national team from which the Olympic teams are drawn is required to "centralize" for the NCAA season leading up to the Olympics, making it impossible to play for their NCAA team. That also stops their five-year clock. (And happens to a number of players every Olympic cycle.) Pregnancy is apparently another.

I don’t, and I don’t see a lot of opposition when I say she needs game reps. But if she likes it at Texas it’s not my choice to make. It’s her’s. There’s still a June transfer portal. I will say I feel strongly if someone is going to transfer it’s better to do it in December to be enrolled in the spring semester, but to repeat myself, it’s not my decision to make. She certainly makes the Texas roster stronger with her presence. Of that there’s no doubt.

Is it still a redshirt year if you are no longer on a roster with a team, as Whitney was not for the 2023 season?

What you have to remember is that the meaning behind redshirt is that the athlete has not used a year of eligibility. Whether they were on a team or even enrolled in school does not matter. In this case, she had used two of her four years of eligibility and had two years of eligibility remaining after the 2022 season. After the 2023 season, those are still the numbers.

Cook and Elliott when they see each other this offseason. ![](https://media.giphy.com/media/9EvrpQoHadEHu/giphy.gif) This is so great because Elliot kind of looks like Owen Wilson but he’s actually quite bald.

They are saying WL may be eligible for a 6th year because of her pregnancy. However, not sure WL wants to sit out another year.
