The Unofficial Furman Football Page

is there a number of basketball games a player can play and still qualify for a redshirt?i know it football it is 4 ,but not sure if basketball has a similar rule.

Think a player is not allowed to play any games in a college basketball season to be eligible for a redshirt, unless that player is granted a medical redshirt

2023 G Eddrin Bronson - Tampa Catholic
You wanna talk about hard to guard! Very few guys in the state can say they give opposing defenders more trouble than Eddrin Bronson. The senior guard and Furman signee is a true 3-level scorer who can play either guard spot. There isn't a spot on the floor where he can't get a highly efficient shot. At 6'4" with ball skills, he's most deadly when in attack mode, putting defenders on their heels, unsure what part of his game to take away. With great size and a beautiful pull-up jumper, he's the complete package. Ed is most dangerous when he can get to his pull-up game. With a flurry of shifty moves, he can create rhythm and separation to knock down tough shots at any moment. His great size at the guard spot allows him to guard multiple positions. He's havoc in passing lanes, creating fast break opportunities where he and his teammates seem to be at their best. Eddrin is one of my favorite guys to watch, from his smooth demeanor to his knack for hitting big-time shots. He's worth the price of admission by himself.

Sounds like he will be fun to watch next year!

Bronson: kind of reminds me of Jonathan Moore (and the headband helps!) - it would be really nice if he had anywhere near the same impact on the program.

Absolutely!

Ok so we know James Repass and Davis Molnar are redshirting this year

We also know about the two Freshman coming in next year Eddrin Bronson and Tommy Humphries

Who knows what's going on with Jonny Lawrence? Is his back bothering him again?
Only my own speculation, but he is in his 4th year of the program, maybe he has decided to graduate this year. Anyone know?

So this guy is a HS senior, are we expecting a scholarship to open up then? Maybe so.

Also VerbalCommits has finally updated all rosters lol

Sadly still has Joe, Garrett, Marcus, and Johnny as Sophomores

Accounting for COVID years and redshirts, I think they all technically have two more years of eligibility, so that makes sense.

They are Sophomores eligibility wise, Covid year did not count against anybody and Marcus and Jonny took redshirt years freshmen season as well

Under Bob Richey, the most a freshman guard has ever played was Alex Hunter at 35%, followed by Pegues at 25%; both also had very low usage rates (i.e., they played some but didn't shoot or pass very often).

Bronson and Humphries undoubtedly have a lot of upside, but it's unlikely that either one will be a major factor next year. One probably gets 10 minutes/game while the other redshirts.

Of course, possible in a Vanderwal range of getting 16mpg, if one of those guys comes in ready to play I could see those type minutes with so many opening up with Bothwell and Slawson gone. The big question mark for me is Lawrence, feels like he has decided to graduate this year, which would allow us to go out and get a 5th year senior proven D2 player that could wind up playing a huge role on the team next year.
