"I" don't have a 50/50 chance, I'm not claiming anything. I'm letting you know what a very close friend of OM told me. I have no reason to doubt the source though, at all. I am 100% confident in his info.

Welp, it's 5 p.m. on Monday and still no news. I think we can mark this prophecy a bust.

I don't have any sources but I'm thinking an answer comes in the next four days. Unless it's a game time decision then five.

I can just see KF throwing it in as a line item during Tuesday's weekly presser. Don't know if it is a "yes" or a "no" but I can see it.

Yeah, and that move to WR kind of seems odd!
I am hoping for a definitive answer before the Wisconsin game.
You know what this thread needs? More wild, unsubstantiated rumors.
Fact 1: Martin played about as much as any receiver on Kids Day, Desmond Hutson ran with 3rd string and was not targeted.
Fact 2: When BTN was in town, Martin did not practice, KF told Revsine that Hutson could play this year.
Fact 3: According to the internet, which is rarely wrong, Martin has been cleared by the NCAA, but neither the school or the family have said anything abou tit.
Fact 4: Marc Morehouse is sending out crytpic tweets:
Conclusion: Martin did get cleared, but might have to miss the season with an injured shoulder. They didn't want to make an announcement and then risk deflating everyone 2 days later with the injury news, so they are awaiting test results and medical decisions, and then The U of Iowa will make an official statement. Trust the internet, they never steer you wrong.

So if he gets cleared by the NCAA but has a serious shoulder issue, they could red-shirt him and he'd then still have 3 years left? Me so uninformed.

So which star player for Bama just got in trouble?

He already used a redshirt. He would have to go back to the NCAA to petition for a sixth year.

By this sage logic by Saban, Jerry should still be working with youth at Penn St. So what player is going down now at Alabama?
I like it, medical redshirt this year, the rare 6th year of eligibility coming. Nice.
The more twisted the saga becomes, the more I enjoy it.
If it's true and he is injured and cleared, I hope he's able to make it back this season. Otherwise that's a whole lotta fuss over nothing. I can only imagine how stressful it has been for him and his family.
But if I remember correctly, the University can't say anything if the athlete doesn't sign a release about their health. So there's a possibility we'll never hear because Ferentz respects privacy and doesn't make an announcement about the NCAA's decision either. With as private as the Martin's have been about these things, I could certainly see and respect that the announcement never comes as they let their story fade into the background during what should be an awesome season of Hawkeye football.

We speak with KF at 1:30 today. Hoping we get some clarity on this situation from him.
I don't believe Martin's injury is one projected to keep him out all year.
He's been limited at practice but that's not why news hasn't been released on his waiver. It's because they don't know if he's eligible yet.
