he lost due to injury.  Actually played one game his jr. year, then missed the remainder of the year.

Trent Shadid, writer for SEC Country, says he is unlikely to get a favorable ruling from the NCAA.

Anyone have info as to why Kevin may not succeed in his attempt.

Problem is it's the NCAA. Trying to figure out many of their decisions is virtually impossible at times.

He must like the new coaching staff.

So, you're saying that Shadid likely doesn't know darn about Kevin's attempt, and the inconsistency of the NCAA in handling these matters is the culprit.

He redshirted his freshman year.  You only get 5 years to play 4, unless you get a rare sixth year waiver (those are usually only given if you've had two season ending injuries in two different years).

Correct, he voluntarily redshirted his first year. 6th years are given for two seasons cut short from injury, generally. Kody Walker got his due to injuries.

The hang up has to do with going over normally alotted 5 years to play 4.

To get a 6h year you have to prove to the NCAA you missed majority of 2 seasons due to injury. We know he missed 2016 to the peck. But he will have to prove he missed 2013 season because of an injury instead of it being player development. Hopefully, he can.

Someone like Ryan Pulley could get a Medical RS from last year easier than Richardson because he never redshirted wouldn't be asking for additional year. He would still fall into the 5 years to play 4.

It's my understanding that he was approved and will be back for a 6th year.

Perfect. Gives us depth, and a ton of leadership/ experience at the nickel.

Would be huge good. I don't think the NCAA has ever ruled in our favor but this kid deserves it. Leadership and he can play.

That would be a huge development.  Can never have enough salty players in the defensive backfield.

Morris said in the PC after practice that he is cleared to practice, but hasn't been granted his 6th year yet. He's working at the nickel.

Redshirting alone should make it 5 years to play 4 PLUS an extra year for seasons missed due to injury. Its not that difficult to understand and implement (unless youre the NCAA)

Edit

And it wouldn't have a big affect on the roaster because most teams only lose 1 or 2 players to season ending injury each year
That's right, you don't want to be the man to replace the man.  You want to be the man to replace Rory Segrest.

It did sound like he thought he would get it though from the tone of his statement.

I hope he gets his year.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Nothing new, but a great summary on the Kevin Richardson situation.
As everyone is saying, man that would be huge to have him back.

I do not think he has been given his sixth year YET but the fact that the NCAA is allowing him to practice tells me he has a pretty good shot.
