Should Koch redshirt?

Rumor mill says it’s possibly blood clots….IF that’s accurate, maybe they can make the case in support of a redshirt, that they need the year to evaluate and make sure they have successfully addressed the problem. Even if he’s healthy enough to practice and workout?
Crazy speculation from someone (me) who has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about……..just hope Cooper is/gets healthy and has a great career as a Hawkeye!

Oh crap, blood clots? You don't mess around with those.
Dochterman on KXNO said severe shoulder injury. Missing entire season is definitely possible.
I heard shoulder injury as well. Doesn't sound good. I was really impressed with his play for a true. Hope it's nothing serious.
Ordinarily yes, but not the case this season. Koch will be missed, those 10mpg will be big.
You're not the only one giving this take about conditioning. And I think that's just not the case. These are 18-21 year old athletes that are in great shape. It would only take 7-10 days (probably less) to get into game shape at that age and the shape they are in. Especially if they're bench players only getting 10-15 minutes per game or 5-8 minutes per half.
Now if you're talking about rehabbing injuries, that's different and everyone heals at different rates & depending on the type of injury. But conditioning should never ever be an issue for a young healthy college athlete. Unless you're that Jelly guy who was 50 lbs overweight to begin with.
I don't totally buy it. Mulvey said he [Koch] was in the hospital for the same condition he was dealing with from this past summer...
Yeah, I had two handfuls of clots in my lungs. Needless to say, open heart surgery was needed to remove them.
Jeez. Glad you're still with us, Herk!
I thought for an injury redshirt you could play in a certain percentage of games. Remember we all knew when Bohannon was going to hang it up after Iowa State for his surgery?
Yeah, that's just the half of it. 6 years before the clots in my lungs I had Esophageal Cancer, and they removed my Esophagus. So, I figure I have 7 lives left. They call me a walking miracle. So yeah, house money it is.
Losing Koch really makea it important for Traore to get back soon. It also makes it really important that Dembele (or the coaches) figure out what he should be doing on the court. I still haven't given up on Ladji, but he sure has been a huge disappointment.
