Does Pryor, or did he, get a Redshirt, or would he go pro anyways?

[glassmanJ]

don't remember seeing this being brought up, and i guess all depends on whether they thought he could return for a tourney run, but does he gets an automatic medical redshirt, or get another year if he wants? probably rehab the deciding factor but my first thought was he'd turn pro and end up either in europe or the g-league, simply getting paid to play, but with NIL now, he may make more money staying here.

I don't think he'd hit the transfer portal and honestly, he looks like he loves it here with PK's type of offense so why go when you're settled into somehting that looks super fun. plus i've heard he's actually the glue guy in the locker room and while his demeanor on court sometimes may leave people thinking he's goofy or soemthing, i actaully love everything he does, he's like a dennis rodman/joaqim noah high motor type, he's to me a PK clone in a bigger body with better hair.

it's actually scary to think about how good this team would/could be in march if there were no injuries and i still think these tough games are just making the team get stronger in every way. it's what killed us under the old regime, we lost so many close games to start we never got the confidence boost. sometimes you just need the tiniest of things to get you over that hump.

this team has already stood toe to toe in rupp when they should have probably been blown out, already won on the road in the acc, got cocky a little vs eku but still won and i think they really are starting to feel the yum center at it's best. every game and every win the crowd will grow and talk about a recruiting tool. already working, welcome Mikal Brown Jr!

but look at how great we are playing right now, yes i said great. 99% of every team hit's scoreless spurts during a game, it's what happens after that defines greatness and you are seeing this team hold it together, keep playing hard, and winning whenn everyone pretty much thought the season was over when KP went down along with the other two being out.

your expectations dropped to a below .500 team and probably no tourney bid. you didn't even feel good after eku, but the fact is, they still won. and yesterday, they gave up the lead late, and then went on a 13-1 run i believe. the foul shooting maybe isn't great but we've got ballers who aren't afraid to be on the line late in the game. I'm talking about you Chucky!

So i'm going to go out on a limb and predicting, semifinals in ACC tourney, maybe a final shot and sweet 16 trip in the ncaa's.

They won't know for certain about the redshirt for Pryor until the season ends because that's when the NCAA accepts paperwork for that.

on the football side, kids could play 4 games, red shirt, and still play in conference title games and any bowl games without it counting against them. if sanity prevails, i'd think he'd get a medical redshirt and still be able to play in the post season this year if he could make it back.

Pryor doesn't need a medical redshirt.

He qualifies for another year thanks to Vandy's QB Diego Pavia. Any student athlete, in any sport, who played at least one season outside the NCAA (mainly JUCO's, but I guess NAIA athletes too) have been granted a waiver for the 2025-26 season.

Linked below, and copied the text from the article, but this not only would effect Kasean Pryor, bur J'Vonne Hadley could qualify too. And probably a handful of student athletes in football, baseball, and other sports at U of L.

NCAA makes major eligibility rule change for 2025-2026 season following Diego Pavia ruling, files appeal​

A waiver by the NCAA Division I Board of Directors has been granted on Monday, allowing a set of players to remain eligible for the 2025-2026 season. They must have competed at a non-NCAA school throughout their career while also previously being out of eligibility. Now, the NCAA says they can return for one more year.

Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia is the most high-profile example of this waiver, previously being deemed eligible for another year of college football. But now, it applies to athletes across every NCAA sport.

“NEWS: The NCAA Division I Board of Directors has granted a waiver to permit athletes who attended and competed at a non-NCAA school for 1 or more years to remain eligible and compete in 2025-26 if those athletes would have otherwise used their final season of competition during the 2024-25 academic year, and meet all other eligibility requirements (e.g., progress toward degree, five-year period of eligibility),” Darren Heitner said via X.

At the same time, the NCAA has filed a notice of appeal regarding the case involving Pavia. Waivers will be handed out for this specific year but the NCAA appealing the ruling could prevent this from becoming an annual occurrence in college athletics.

“The NCAA has also filed a notice of appeal of the court’s ruling in the Diego Pavia case,” Heitner said.

Wonder if the fact that Pryor is already a 5th year senior affects this at all..

It shouldn't.

Diego Pavia was also a 5th year senior ... who played two years of JUCO, 2 years at New Mexico State, and 1 year at Vandy.

A Tennessee judge said he could have one more year, and the NCAA reacted with a blanket waiver for any kid in the same position as Pavia (probably because the NCAA knew a wave of eligibility requests were coming from other kids like Pavia and they don't want to deal with all THAT). That's what their appeal is about. Making this a one year only deal.

Will Pryor take advantage of this? Who knows. But the NCAA just granted hundreds of kids in his position an extra year of eligibility.

CPK is quickly demonstrating that he is exactly what this University needed in terms of a Head Basketball Coach; he brought in a group of tranfers who play hard and unselfishly. Pryor and virtually every player on this roster will tell you they are here because of Kelsey. While I am sure signing incoming 5 Star Mikel Brown required major financial assistance, his decision to play at UL had a lot to do with Kelsey being the HC.

I totally expect Pryor to return next year at UL.

i think he can get both though, a medical redshirt and another year to play due to ruling. i believe they wouldn't conjoin them so he'd get another year for the redshirt and then another year for the juco and wouldn;t matter which when they were taken. hopefully so. plus NCAA still fighting case but should take a few years to resolve. haven;t there been some 7, 8 or 9 year players due to covid and redshirts and coaches leaving.

I hope so. He'd be a nice piece to bring back.
