Raposo played in 4 games in 2021 so it would appear a medical red-shirt is the option if it occurred (unless there are unknown extenuating circumstances) .
Hopkins played in 13 games in '21 so he appeared in 30% of the games
However, his last appearance was April 4 against Michigan which was exactly the 7th game of the season - the mid point of the season
So it is right up against the lines of the rules as I see them which are:
According to the NCAA rules, in order to be granted a medical redshirt, the athlete must: Suffer an injury that is deemed “season-ending” Their injury must occur before the halfway point of the season and not participate in more than 30% of the season's games. That is kind of eerie. If it had to occur BEFORE the halfway point then that looks like an issue. Also, does the fact that the last 3 games were tournament games figure into it at all? I.e. if Hopkins had lost to Penn State in the first round of the tournament he would have played in 37% of the games and clearly would have been past the midpoint of an 11 game season.
First order of business for 2025 and most important was PM earning the extension last spring. I'm sure he, JC, JK and team have been thinking about this upcoming offseason for years and have known for awhile where the kids with eligibility left stand.
JK doesn't do interviews, but it's shocking that of all the places the program hasn't won lately Columbus is at the top of the list. Rich Rodriquez type stuff.
This piece said more about QK, Baker, and PM then we're going to add here or off his broadcasts.

Smith won defensive player of the week. Probably won't ever get the honors Durkin got but he had a much taller hill to climb with where the program was when he started. Worth noting for the UNC guys that read this that while he, martin, and a few others were petro guys aviles, kilrain, ierlan, and szuluk were not.
I don't really follow the women but they seem to be doing ok under their new guy

Superfan has gone from regular broadcast feature to zeroed out.
It's hard to believe that Schellenberger with half his childhood basement still pained blue jay blue gave up on Hopkins because of watching Brown but he wasn't under oath for this interview. Lacrosse like most sports journalists are awful at follow ups. Seeing him come up short at Klockner earlier this spring was extremely satisfying.
