He should have 3 years left including this one, but I believe he’d have to apply for a medical shirt for 2022 first (2021 didn’t count, last year while he was out counts as a year).

Sounds like he is eligible for an ORS this year, but I know I read/heard somewhere he wanted to wrestle this year, so your second question would be my main one.  I assume he had gone through the enrollment process with Iowa, but while I’m no admissions person so could be wrong, I can’t imagine he can still enroll for the spring semester at a D1 school at this point…

I do not think he qualifies for an Olympic redshirt. And I think he wrestled too many matches in 2022 to get a medical.

If he does not wrestle this year he cannot be a four timer.

And then Bergen Catholic for the rest of the season, and probably not much longer.  Correct?

I don't believe it was even for the rest of the season. I think part of the issue was that they weren't eligible for the post season based on the timing of the transfer. (Going off of memory)

You are forgetting the Legal Redshirt year.

I cannot imagine Coaches Manning, Pendleton, Dresser or anyone with a shred of dignity agreeing to take the kid.  It would be like agreeing to foster mentally challenged triplets. He is an untreated sociopath.  Thank God if the Iowa AD said no.  Not a huge Hawkeye fan but would hate to see anything happen to its reputation and tradition.  Sigh of relief.  My two cents. 

Dresser took Echemendia, so you never know!

You may be right about the medical, but sounds like he qualifies for Olympic based on cadet world bronze

Snark alert. Absent Aaron Brooks getting run over by a bus (or someone hitting his car doing 100 mph in the wrong lane) AJ isn't going to be a 4 timer even if Northern Colorado gives him a singlet this yeat.

That sounds right. The general rule has always been "5 years to compete 4 seasons" plus the assorted shirts and pandemic seasons thrown in. I didn't realize he was eligble to ORS this year but he is.

Ah, I missed the cadet world bronze.

He’s also right.

Door is closed on this semester. Tom wants him to Olympic shirt and then try again in the fall. It would take a lot of work I don’t think AJ is capable of.

I think he also qualifies by being a prior NCAA champion

Why can't this just die already

As a non Iowa fan I get the benefit of enjoying this.  But I feel for all exhausted Hawkeye fans

Just the cadet bronze. Past NCAA champs only get it if they also finish top 2 at U23 Nationals.

So no medical, but last year was a regular redshirt?

Ah, got it. I was unaware that they needed both.

If the AD is the one that said no, why would waiting change her mind?

Maybe that is the answer. In an over elaborate plan to duck Brooks, while not appearing to duck Brooks, Ferrari decided to go for the "I am Number 1 in both Intermat and Flo rankings" salute to ensure he does not wrestle this year, but still preserves his shot at four?

The dad appears to have substantial sway.  Does he honestly not understand that the behavior is unacceptable for student athletes, or does he facilitate this because he thinks that the notoriety derived from lawless and/or classless behavior will be ultimately financially rewarding through WWE, UFC, internet sales, etc.?

Grand View? Fernandes can go with him.

It's kind of sad, really. The dad has probably dreamed of his 3 sons wrestling at the same program for their entire lives. Unfortunately he's raised a minimum of two sociopaths and the family appears to enjoy the death grip he has on their futures.

Agree.  Particularly because he comes across as an intelligent guy in his interviews, which makes his directing of this s#%$@ show so surprising and tragic.
