about Greyshirting - an opinion from the UF president

Post by uoducksfan »

Interesting opinion from the UF president about the practice of greyshirting. Can't say I feel the same or as strongly about the subject as him, but this is another piece of the recruiting puzzle/game.

So if Florida is UF does that mean that Fordham is FU?

Furman University used to have "Christian Knights" as their mascot

It was a great hat to buy...

Someone should see how many times UF has greyshirted players since he's been President, this way we can see just how "morally reprehensible" he truly thinks it is or if he is just another dolt practicing double-speak.

Oregon really only does it when they have someone who would possibly miss the entire season with an injury and don't want to waste their entire redshirt year rehabbing.

I totally agree with the guy. If an athlete doesn't know he's going to have to grayshirt, it's messed up to force him into doing so after he's signed his LOI.

The only way you do it is to have it agreed upon before the LOI is signed.
