^If we used him late it would be a waste, but depending on how fast he recovers (some knee surgeries these days are unbelievably fast to recover from compared to in the past).
3 years is a waste? He tore at least his ACL, maybe more. He won't play this year because he won't be ready for the start of the season. What's the point of wasting a year of eligibility on an ultra talented guy who won't have the system down mentally or physically by the start of the season?
^He is studying the playbook right now, he has graduated already and moved and was at Spring Practice, I read somewhere that he may be ready by fall practice but if he's not Dabo will do what's right, he gets paid the big bucks to make those decisions.
Boyd is going to be redshirted. Korn, Parker, and even Wade are so far ahead of Boyd in terms of knowing the system. And Korn and Parker have both been pretty impressive thus far this spring. Boyd has no shot of contibuting in 2009. Not redshirting him would be a waste of a year of his eligibility.
Whenever Boyd is ready he will no doubt be the starter, esp. if Parker only plays this year and then goes pro in baseball, Korn's only chance may be this season if they split time with him and Parker, there is so much athleticism between the two it's hard to imagne it not being used.
Nevermind, I read the rules about baseball draft. Kinda interesting that you can go out of high school, but must be a junior/21 years old in college.
Basically, it keeps kids in school. The NBA/NCAAB should really implement this rule. If a player doesn't want to go to school, don't make him go. Its stupid to make a kid show up for one year. If they do commit to a school, make them actually COMMIT to at least three years. Solves the 1 and done problem, but it makes too much sense for the NCAA to do it.
That is an incorrect statement. This is Parker's soph. season right now in baseball, next baseball season (before football season mind you) will be his Jr. season and since baseball season is over before football starts this very well could be Kyle's only year playing football at Clemson.
Certain groups of players are ineligible for selection, generally because they are still in school. The basic categories of players eligible to be drafted are:
High school players, if they have graduated from high school and have not yet attended college or junior college; College players, from four-year colleges who have either completed their junior or senior years or are at least 21 years old; and Junior college players, regardless of how many years of school they have completed.
Parker started school in the spring of 2008. The earliest he'd complete his junior year is fall of 2010. The first MLB draft available to Parker would be the June 2011 draft.
