OK, an extremely reliable source tells me Maryland has applied for an additional year of eligibility for senior midfielder Doug Rodkey based on hardship. Rodkey already had an injury redshirt year so has to apply via the hardship route. Rodkey was injured very early in the season and therefor did not play enough games to have burned this year.
I honestly don't know what is involved in this process but the source sounded optimistic and is in a position to know. Says the application just went in this week and can take up to a month. I assume Christmas dinner will probably have to be digested before they get to this case. In any case, if this works out, it is huge for Maryland. Getting back one of the best holding midfielders and playmakers in the country with an industrial strength work ethic and real leadership skills, would be a major coup....if it happens. Keep your fingers crossed.
