Kelvin Krosch will miss spring ball

[BA_Bengals]

I just heard Kelvin Krosch from Mackay had surgery on his wrist last Friday and more than likely will miss spring ball. Kelvin hurt his wrist in practice sometime in September but did not realize that he had broken it. He had it X-Rayed sometime last week and it showed a fracture. His status is 4-6 months. I am just amazed that he played the rest of the season and was able to make that big play late in the game against Sac State. Kudos to you Mr.Krosch.

I agree, Kudos to you Kelvin. I've heard those Mackay players are dedicated, loyal, hardworking and tougher than nails.I was disappointed this year that they did not use Kelvin more...I kept waiting for the touchdown pass in the end zone where Kelvin jumped up and caught the ball and then dunked it over the goal post!!!! Remember I said this kid is an awesome basketball player. My question now is can Kelvin receive a medical redshirt year. I really hope missing spring ball will not have an effective on his playing time next fall.

Kelvin can't get a medical redshirt...that's only for getting hurt in the first half of a season and only playing in 20% of the contests...Kelvin doesn't qualify on either front.

Frank, I heard he got hurt the first week of September and did he even hardly get to play in most games? So...wouldn't that qualify him for a medical redshirt?

According to the participation stats--he played in 10 games this season. He does not have to record a stat to have participated. He caught a pass in the last game of the season so there is no way that he could get a medical hardship.

I am not sure how current this is--but it may shed some more light on this subject:

A “medical red shirt” is not an official NCAA term, but the term is used when a student-athlete is injured after participating in a limited amount of competition during a particular academic year and then qualifies for a Medical Hardship Waiver.

Medical Hardship Waiver

If a student-athlete suffers a season-ending injury or illness after competing in a limited amount of competition during a particular academic year, he/she may qualify for a medical hardship waiver which would allow him/her an additional season of competition during the five-year period of eligibility. To qualify for a medical hardship:

(a) the student-athlete’s injury or illness must occur in one of the four seasons of intercollegiate competition or subsequent to the first day of classes in the student-athlete’s senior year in high school;

(b) the injury or illness must occur prior to the completion of the first half of the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship in that sport and must result in incapacity to compete for the remainder of that playing season; and

(c) the injury or illness must occur when the student-athlete has not participated in more than two contests/dates of competition or 20% of the institution’s scheduled contests/dates of competition in his/her sport (whichever number is greater).

Thanks, cub.....I still hope it doesn't hurt him missing spring ball for next fall because I really think he can contribute to the team....He is an awesome athlete.

I think Krosch will be good but we are stacked at wideout next year only spot left open for battle is the one ET left open so it might hurt him missing spring ball becasue the other kids will have a leg up on him.
