engstrom gone for the year
bama's inside game suffers a big loss
Whoever thought Bama fans would be worried about the loss of the big Swede. All Alabama's players work hard to improve. Carl Engstrom might have worked the hardest of them all. Engstrom had moved from taking up space to contributing. That may not seem like much for some players, but for Engstrom it was was a long journey. I hope that climb isn't over. Knee injuries on big players are tough some time. No doubt the Carl will put in the effort to rehabilitate. When Engstrom didn't play against Dayton I wondered what was up. His injury at Cincinnati occured in the first 3 minutes of the game. Alabama finally annouced his surgery and injury today. He miss the remainder of this season. He should be back for the following season. I am not sure under NCAA rules if he is eligible for a redshirt. A lot will depend on how many games Alabama plays. Under the so called 20 percent rule he should be eligible for a redshirt year. For your reference the rule is posted below.
