Really surprised with Sims over Peevey

Peevy in dinged up and trying to heal. With that said sounds like sims has had a monster fall camp and is in great shape and has shown the coaches what he can do.

God I hope this isn't a recurrence of last year....seemed like he was constantly dinged up last year...

It'll be cool to watch Sandry develop at S under Semore and Schillinger.

I'm with you. We need Peevy back. But I am also more than pumped to see Jesse Sims compete at this level. He was always "a man without a position" during his recruitment as far as DE vs TE. Who would of thought he'd be starting at DT as a freshman? Goes to show if you have the talent, good coaches will find a way to put you on the field.

Agreed 100% on Sims...no doubt. But goddamn it, Peevey just can't seem to stay healthy enough to stay on the field and make a real impact...such promise after his sophomore campaign, wasted last year with just spot availability...one nagging injury after another and now he has his knee cleaned up the WEEK before opening day?

Athletes may also use a "grayshirt" year in which they attend school, but cannot enroll as a full-time student, and do not receive a scholarship for that year. This means that they are an unofficial member of the team and do not participate in practices, games, or receive financial assistance from their athletic department. Typically, grayshirts are players who are injured right before college and require an entire year to recuperate. Rather than waste the redshirt, the player can attend school as a part-time regular student and join the team later. This is also used by players with religious or military obligations that keep them out of school for a full academic year.

"Blueshirt" athletes are those that the NCAA does not classify as a "recruited student-athlete". They have never made an official visit to the school, met with the school's athletic employees or had more than one phone call with them, or received a scholarship offer. Such athletes are walk-ons, but can receive scholarships after enrolling; although they are immediately eligible to play, their scholarships count for the school's quota in the following year.

"Brown Shorts" are usually worn by athletes when they have not previously played a meaningful down, but are recruited by MSU and touted as godsends. The name is derived from the condition of the underwear immediately following conclusion of any game in which the opposing team shows up and demonstrates competitive attributes, and particularly at the outset, and conclusion, of the annual rivalry match versus the UM Grizzlies.

Actually, a grayshirt is just someone that does not enroll full-time until second semester.

Actually, a grayshirt can be for a semester or a year or whatever. It can occur in the spring if someone enrolls early. In addition to someone coming off an injury, it can also just occur because while the school wants the player, they don't have an immediate scholarship for the player. This happened to Cody Balogh at UW out of high school. Offered, but then a scholarship wasn't available when he committed (or something like that). UM was on him the whole time, and told him he'd had a good chance of immediately playing time if he came to UM. He ended up starting much of his frosh year, I believe.

I assumed that people would get that from my statement but I should have known better.

Actually, a grayshirt could be for like two semesters. Or one.

 

[Jaymerz]

Good to know! For the record, I plagerized the greyshirt and blue shirt definitions from an online resource...I better disclose that so it doesn't look like I'm trying to pass it off as my own words. The brown shorts definition, however...
