Deshawn McClease out for 2016 season

By: Clone-A-Fuller on September 15, 2016, 6:32 PM | 40 comments

Just saw the injury report for BC and it said that Deshawn McClease was done for the year. Anyone hear what might have happened? Good news though: Marshawn Williams is active so there's that.

ESPN app pushed through that McCleese's injury was an upper extremity.

I don't understand why they would release so much information. Why give away the fact that Young and McClease are out for the whole year??

Also noticed the cincy chili hate on TKP twitter and I have to say Skyline Chili may be one of my favorite things in this world. I keep at least 4 cans of the stuff in my house always in case we get snowed in for a few hours. Carolina BBQ can piss off with all of their soupy meats.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Isn't Skyline chili pretty much defined by the term "soupy meat"?

Carolina BBQ is fantastic & a Skyline 5-way is heaven. What is horrible is the stuff they try and pass off as BBQ here in Georgia. Sauce on the side? C'mon, man.

Good barbecue doesn't need sauce. Memphis dry style FTW.

I spent some formative years living in Cincy. Skyline Chili is solid fast foodish cuisine. Just don't make the mistake of wandering into a Gold Star.

If you're ever in the Greensboro, NC area (not for an ACC or NCAA championship game of course) you can find a decent Cincinnati style chili at Cincy's Downtown.

Out for season? Upper extremity? Broken neck?

I mean, break a collarbone, you're probably talking a max of 8 weeks, but not the entire season. Maybe some kind of severe arm fracture, but still, there's a lot of season left, so it's either something very serious, or the docs are being extremely cautious of an in-season return.

Could be anything from a torn pec/bi/tri or rotator cuff. Those things will usually shut a guy down for a season.

Been there. It absolutely would have him out until beyond bowls. I was three months before I could golf, let alone play D1 football

Is he a true freshman? If so, it likely just means he's taking a redshirt. Even missing through Week 10 with the stable we have currently, they'd be foolish to waste the year of eligibility.

But he could still apply for a medical hardship waver since he played less than half the season, right?

Pretty sure you don't qualify unless you've already redshirted due to an injury. I guess if he had a significant injury during his rs last year he could qualify, but I don't recall anything on him.

hokie07ME's picture hokie07ME | 9 years 9 months # ^

I remembered that incorrectly. You're absolutely right. You have to lose two seasons to injury to qualify for a 6th year waiver.

From http://www.athleticscholarships.net/2012/07/17/how-get-medical-redshirt.htm

To be eligible for a medical hardship waiver, a student-athlete has to meet the following criteria:

  • The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school.
  • The injury must be incapacitating. That means it must be a season-ending injury.
  • The injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of the season.
  • The student-athlete must not have competed in more than 30% of the season or three contests, whichever is greater.

Athletes must keep in mind both the five-year clock and their four seasons of competition. Even if an athlete gets a medical hardship waiver, he or she needs to have time left on their five-year clock (10-semester/15-quarter clock in Divisions II and III) to use that season.

This is problematic for athletes took a normal redshirt season or sat out due to a transfer. An athlete can generally not use a medical redshirt in those cases unless they get a clock extension or sixth year waiver. To do that the athlete show they lost two seasons outside of his or her control. The medical redshirt would be one, but the athlete would still need to show another.

Hope he heals up well. The health of our players is definitely something I'll always cheer for.

That said - If they hold him out the rest of the season, is he eligible for a medical redshirt? He might get back for the end of the season, but is it worth it if they could get him a medical redshirt?

Hate to see him lose a season. On the bright side, we get (a very fit looking) Marshawn back. Looking forward to fully healthy ShaiShawn after they flashed so much promise.

For his sake, at least its an 'upper' extremity and not the twig or berries.

With all our fumbling problems, I dont think we need Williams getting in the mix too much right now. Mckenzie and McMillian are running the ball VERY well right now. I must say McKenzie has been a huge pleasant surprise and Mcmillian is a burner that has some moves as well. McKenzie, it is my opinion, will end up the most consistent back we have and become a star.

Here's what gets me about "upper extremity" in this situation.

If he's done for the season, what's the harm in being more specific about what was injured?

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

Perhaps it's not completely diagnosed. They know it's severe enough (break, tear, whatever) to end the season but additional testing needs to be done.

I thought hockey injuries were pretty much you're playing unless you can't walk/tell what day of the week it is.
