We have a complicated transfer question! Looking for help...Recruited by DII and played freshman season, transferred to NAIA and played one year and sitting out this year. Can son return to original DII and play next season?

I don't know but why would you transfer back to a school you left in the first place?
I were the coach I would be quite skeptical
The transfer was needed to be closer to quality medical facilities to get treatment for a very serious injury sustained in his freshman year. He sat out soph season, played last year as JV in a recovering situation and is sitting out again. The DII coach has continued interest, but the NAIA situation was a walkon after the injury-their interest is not what the DII is...it is not the typical situation...that's what I meant by complicated.
This is one of the better transfer questions...
...transferring BACK to the original NCAA school after transferring out to an NAIA school.
I would have the COACH of the D-II school contact his compliance officer to get the correct answer in this case. Also complicating things is the injury situation...
...would he even be eligible for a medical redshirt since he transferred?
Also, the NCAA works with a clock...
...that starts when he first enters school. Five years to play 4, (5, ONLY IF a redshirt is in the equation).

While I am not insensitive to the question and concern....
Anyone remember the old George Carlin comedy routine...
"...and then they crossed the international date line!..."

I don't remember it, maybe you will explain! I'm guessing you're making light of our situation...not what I expected on this site!!!

Sorry!...Geeze, I thought I bracketed it well enough...
OK...Let me put it another way...pretty darned (incredible/strange) how many issues you got going on in one situation....Gonna be hard one to figure out.
For the record I am empathizing...in a lighthearted way...as in "Man how many things can happen to one person"...or..."Amazing how complicated these things can get...

...No problem--It is truly incredible and will require a ruling from the NCAA...thanks for the follow-up :-)
