Deryck Gildon

[FrogSwagSurfin]

Whats going on with Gildon? He hasn't played since September 20th. Is he hurt?

I read earlier in the season that he was awarded defensive player of the week.

He are his game logs: nothing after the Sept 20th game.

Injured, hopefully back at TCU this spring.

 

[FrogSwagSurfin]

Damn, I was looking for forward to a Mallet/Gildon wrecking crew. What kind of injury?

 

[MidlandFrog]

Nothing serious. Meniscus I think. He's basically said he isn't pushing it because he wants to be 100% for spring. Doing a proper rehab, instead of rushing back

 

[FrogSwagSurfin]

Damn our D is going to be (mating between GDU & Native Frog) salty next year. Can't wait to see Fields and Lathan with a little more weight. Hoping Jenkins from LSU is a Verrett in the making.

And even if not, White has been improving every game. Not to speak badly of old players, but give me White as he is right now ahead of Greg McCoy or Nick Sanders.

Speaking of old players, could you imagine if Teague and Verrett were on the field at the same time.

Agree completely!

 

[goldenfrog]

I do miss Teague.

Be like LSU of last year.

I just think Carraway will end up being amazing. I'm talking Hughes good.

Will be interesting to see if Carraway redshirts next year. He could really benefit with some time with Coach Sommer.

The Gildon injury is potentially good news as I believe he's eligible for a medical redshirt. Always thought it was dumb to burn a year of eligibility playing for some JUCO in BFE Mississippi if he had a spot at TCU.

ESPN shows Gildon as a 2013 JC Commit:

I thought Gildon was not playing due to academics.

Left for JuCo because of academics; injured playing JuCo football IIRC.

That's my memory as well.

Does anyone know if he was injured early enough for a medical redshirt and/or if they are available in JUCO-to-FBS situations?

Yes, a medical hardship waiver is available to Gildon, provided he meets the criteria in Bylaw 14.2.4. Additionally, the 2-yr. institution must first approve the waiver request before the Big 12 can even look at it, and the JuCo must use the same or stricter criteria in Bylaw 14.2.4. Provided he meets all of these requirements, he should get this year of eligibillity back.

 

[cdsfrog]

Have to agree with Jake. White made lots of mistakes early but has really improved his game. Enough to where it forces them to throw at Verrett sometimes which I always like

That would be a real boon for TCU if he got this year back!
