I noticed at last night's game that A. J. wasn't dressed again. We all know that he missed several games at the beginning of the season and has seen limited playing time in the last 6 weeks. Does anyone know if there are plans to try to get a medical redshirt for him as well or has he exceeded the amount of playing time in order for that to happen?

From what I've seen with McMurray he's more of a 3/4 combo probably. He certainly doesn't handle the ball or pass like a big man.

As for AJ, he's played in 10 games this year and his first game was the MAC opener against CMU. Here are the NCAA rules on the matter:

(a) The incapacitating injury or illness occurs in one of the four seasons of intercollegiate competition at any two- year or four-year collegiate institutions or occurs after the rst day of classes in the student-athlete’s senior year in high school;

(b) The injury or illness occurs prior to the rst competition of the second half of the playing season that con- cludes with the NCAA championship in that sport (see Bylaw 12.8.4.3.4) and results in incapacity to com- pete for the remainder of that playing season;

(c) In team sports, the injury or illness occurs when the student-athlete has not participated in more than three contests or dates of competition (whichever is applicable to that sport) or 30 percent (whichever number is greater) of the institution’s scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition in his or her sport. Only scheduled or completed competition against outside participants during the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship, or, if so designated, during the o cial NCAA championship playing season in that sport (e.g., spring baseball, fall soccer), shall be countable under this limitation in calculating both the number of contests or dates of competition in which the student-athlete has participated and the number of scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition during that season in the sport. Dates of competition that are exempted (e.g., alumni contests, foreign team in the United States) from the maximum permissible number of contests or dates of competition shall count toward the number of contests or dates in which the student-athlete has participated and the number of scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition in the season, except for scrimmages and exhibition contests that are speci cally identi ed as such in the sport’s Bylaw 17 playing and practice season regulations. Scrimmages and exhibition contests that are not exempted from the maximum permissible number of contests or dates of competition may be excluded from the calculation only if they are identi ed as such in the sport’s Bylaw 17 playing and practice season regula- tions; and

(d) In individual sports, the injury or illness occurs when the student-athlete has not participated in more than three dates of competition or 30 percent (whichever number is greater) of the maximum permissible number of dates of competition as set forth in Bylaw 17 plus one date for a conference championship (e.g., gymnas-tics: 13+1=14, wrestling: 16+1=17), regardless of whether the team participates in the conference champion- ship, provided the institution is a member of a conference and the conference holds a championship event in the applicable sport. Dates of competition that are exempted per Bylaw 17 (e.g., alumni contests, foreign team in the United States) from the maximum permissible number of dates of competition do not count toward the number of dates in which the student-athlete has participated.

He got hurt in practice recently.

If Ohio played 33 games, then 10 played would be at right about 30 percent. For that to happen, though, Ohio would have to win two in the MAC tournament.
