VivaFutbol 10 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I've only heard good things about Williams and Wilson. As long as Oglesby doesn't touch the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I really hate to hear that for Darren. I hope he can come back from this setback. He's a special talent. However, there is talent behind him. Ryan Williams came back a little overweight, but he's got time to get back into shap. Oglesby is now the #1 guy until someone takes it from him. Kenny Lewis could make it back at some point during the season as well. Looks like David Wilson will play this year as a true freshman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Horrible news for Evans; I hope he makes a full recovery. He injured the same knee in practice on Friday, but was cleared to practice again today. If there was one position, however, where Tech could suffer an season-ending injury it was at tailback with guys like Williams and Wilson waiting in the wings. An injury of that nature to Taylor and the season would be lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvuraiders 10 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 but williams will pick up slack and more in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 but williams will pick up slack and more in my opinion. Williams is very talented, but in my opinion Wilson is going to be the superstar of the group. When all is said and done, don't be surprised if Wilson isn't considered the greatest Tech back of all-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldgeneral 10 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 That kid is a freaking amazing back. He was a tough as nails and had good speed. He will be missed in Blacksburg. I wonder how that shakes up the offense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 As an opposing fan, I hate to see one of your big guns go down like this. Here's to a speedy recovery, a full recovery, and Evans hitting the field 100% in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I hated to hear this news for Darren and for Hokie fans, and wish him a complete and speedy recovery. We all hate injuries, unfortunately it's a very real aspect of football at all levels. Let's hope he is 100% for 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Correct. Or that's what any sane coach would do. It's not up to the coach, it's up to the NCAA if they'll grant Evans an extra year due to medical hardship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I know, I've said as much very recently in this thread.But any sane coach would petition for it, of course. He may have some tough luck getting a sixth year still. I read this from another board: "A "medical redshirt" is used if you HAVE not taken a "regular" redshirt year, and you get hurt after playing in less than some percentage of your teams games (I think 25%, could be 30%). In this case, that year will become a redshirt year just as you've never played a down. If you have already had a redshirt year, like Darren Evans has, this option is NOT available, period. They're applied for immediately the season of the injury. Now, for people like Darren Evans, who have already used a RS season, there is a "medical harship waiver", that in some cases would grant a 6th year of eligibility. You apply for it at the end of your regular eligibility. These are almost never granted to D1 football guys...maybe 1 or 2 guys a year. They're typically only ever granted if a kid misses significant parts of more than 1 season. In other words, if DE comes back and suffers no further injury, he would almost certainly not get the "6th year"... " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
