I kinda wish college basketball had a 4 game rule like football.
Check out the question & Chad's answer.

I think we all know that a medical would be a given even if he plays some. We have seen it on our own team the last two years.
That seems overly harsh to call Jordan an idiot.
I’m sure he’s crushed. Honesty there is zero reason to not fully expect a waiver to play his 5th year.
NCAA could easily screw jordan over after putting them on blast after the tourney about a damn rug lol
Just so I'm not confusing myself, the "discussion" is that if he plays some, but then decides to wait until next year, that he'd be 99.99% to get the med RS?
If he tries to play, but physically is still not ready and has to shut it down, as long as he doesn't pass the game limit, he will get it. This exactly the scenario that Naz Long at ISU went through with his hip surgery and there was no question about him getting it.
And he'd be wise not to (not an idiot), the damn rug could cost him his senior season
Personally, I kind of like the way a JBO redshirt sets up 2020-21...
The Des Moines Register's Mark Emmert is at B1G Media days.
Ryan Kriener made it sound like JBO will not be playing this season.
He said "I am the only senior left in my class."

Joe is very talented, but not a NBA lock at this point. Has he even made comments about WANTING to leave early?
Well he has been kind of on the forefront of poking the NCAA for this pay to play deal SOOOOOO I get why he doesn't trust them. I say wait a year and then come back 100%.
At this point we have no idea if he was testing the water, or just getting solid feedback on what he should be working on. I believe he could do the same thing again at the end of this season, and still return as long as he doesn't sign an agent.
Of course, there is no guarantee that even if he does redshirt, he might get another injury before next year too. My advice is if he's healthy enough to play do it. Life holds no promises.
Cordell played a game then decided that he'd take a medical. But came in to play ISU for a game, knowing he could play up to a certain point. I believe the Cyclown game was the second to last game he could play, and still take the medical. He had a good game, IIRC.
JBo could give it a go and see how the hip feels. No idea how that would effect his rehab and the risk of further injury. But Tyler Ulis has been playing with his brother(there are videos of him and Ahron practicing), and he had a similar situation... People heal differently though.
Contrary to popular belief it appears that Jordan is going to try to give it a go. There is no other reason for him to dress for practices and go though extreme team work outs and yes, if the hip problem flares up again, he can apply for a medical redshirt as Pemsl did last year.
It sure appears that this scenario is baffling to most of you...

He did what is allowed - he asked for and received evaluation on his draft potential. Really no different than a student completing an optional internship and finding out he needs to improve his public speaking. Work on it and see what happens. Quite frankly, anyone who aspires to have a professional career should take advantage of this option.
You have different info than I. My understanding was that Jordan has not yet returned to practice but was starting to work out and do some shooting on his own.
It was a complicated surgery. I spoke to a Dr familiar with Jordan’s situation (not JBo’s doc) and he said that in his opinion no way should Jordan try to play this year because he would be surprised if he could heal that fast. Also sounded as if it was a little questionable whether Jordan would be able to fully recover from the surgery as far as being able to play DI basketball at a high level again. It is not a slam dunk that JBo will ever be 100% but that is of course what they are hoping for.
Same here....as of last week I don't think he was going 100% in any of the drills and was being held out of most of them.
Hopefully, he will get as much of the free college allowed whether he ever plays again or not.

common denominator is ncaa has the players future in their hands and their process has proven to be flawed if not inconsistent - that is the point
