Son was just informed by a Sports Ortho that he has a strained scapula. Apparently throwing BP's in the cold air coupled with decelerating fully is the culprit. He is shut down for the next 3 weeks. What he heard (or thinks) is his season is basically shot! He'll get maybe 5-7 more starts until season's end.

He has gotten some interest already from a handful of 4yr schools. His concern is that he'll not get much more now. His coach really doesn't want to medical-redshirt him. He wants him to come back and help him drive to the conference championship.

My question is this I suppose: Based on a "decent to good" season with what is left, does he still have any chances of other schools pursuing him? He's still working out hard and should be picking up a ball next week for light toss.

Anyone who has experienced this type of scenario or heard of one I'd really appreciate how it worked out.

Here is some info on medical redshirt from the njcaa.

Section 8. HARDSHIPS
The hardship provision of the NJCAA is available to student-athletes, who are unable to complete a season of competition or did not satisfy one of the other eligibility rules as a result of an injury, illness or some type of an emergency beyond their control.
A. Hardship #1 involves an injury or illness which results in the student-athlete's inability to complete a season. Prior to the injury or illness, a student-athlete must not have participated in more than 20 percent of the college's regular season schedule or have participated in no more than two of the institution's completed events in that sport, whichever number is greater. The injury or illness must also have occurred in the first half of the schedule resulting in the student-athlete being incapacitated for the remainder of the season. USE HARDSHIP FORM # 1.
NOTE: In applying the 20 percent limitation, any competition which results in a fractional portion of an event shall be rounded to the next highest whole number, e.g., 20 percent of a 27 game basketball schedule (5.4 games) shall be considered six games
