When does Anthony Ferrari join the program?
- Thread starter HawkCharlotte
- Start date
He’s taking summer and fall classes to get eligible for the 2nd semester.
Gotta love a kid who finished HS over a year ago but somehow still isn’t eligible.
How did he get accepted into OSU out of high school, do they have lower requirements? Heard him say he’s taking 3 classes this summer, you’d think that would be enough to at least get accepted for 1st semester?
Gotta love a young kid back in school working on his education and becoming a D1 athlete.
Since he was at Oklahoma st and left he needs credits
He never made ir there so it’s an assumption to say accepted.
Never was a student there.
Good on the kid for trying to get an education, by the way. I was harsh earlier and wanted to balance.
In case folks haven’t seen it Ferrari vs Johnson a couple years ago was fun to watch. I believe it’s viewable on the internets.
Since he was never a student there, it would be like so many kids these days taking a gap year. When they apply for college the next year, they only have to meet the same requirements coming out of high school. I’m assuming these 3 classes this summer were some credits in certain areas he didn’t get in high school that Iowa requires for all students to be admitted. Don’t know why he couldn’t be eligible 1st semester. Would be fun to see him and Chittum , but we want to win the meet, and Franek has a better shot at winning, especially with Anthony not competing for over a year. Chittum was competing all over the world last year.
That's what I've been saying. How is he not already eligible? Not that it matters at this point. The fact is that he isn't.
My kids were all A students, but still had to look carefully at the class requirements for different colleges in Iowa. The curriculum
That’s strange since he hasn’t been a student yet. They wouldn’t expect a gap year kid to have a year of college credits, that’s the whole idea of taking a gap year. Must hold athlete’s to a different standard. When we were talking about AJ and what he would need, it was explained to me he would need a bunch of credit to continue to advance, even though he’s not in school, because he had already been a college student. This isn’t the case with his brother. It is what it is I guess, and we don’t need him this year.
I'm guessing his high school grades weren't good enough to get in so they required junior college credits. I think other guys have had to go this route.
Slight threadjack but it's a good place for the question.
What's the scoop on AJ?
What's the scoop on AJ?
And how is he not eligible in the fall? Does he need more remedial credits beyond what he’s currently pulling?
He never attended one second of courses at Oklahoma State. That is false.
If I was a betting man I'd bet AJ Ferrari never wears an Iowa singlet. Or any other college.
Is there talk?
Iowa has shown interest?
Sorry, seems like it's impossible to follow Iowa wrestling at the moment.
So much moving and shaking, I can't keep up.
Well there has certainly been talk, but that really means nothing. Because the talk is mostly speculation amongst fans. But I'm sure with two brothers already in the program AJ would certainly consider Iowa if looking to get back into the college scene.
The pull of 3 brothers all donning the same singlet at the NCAA level will prove too strong. AJ and the rest of the family won't be able to sit in the stands and watch his brothers wondering, 'if only'. Assuming his legal problems go away somewhat to his favor soon, I think it happens. PS - HWT.

I’m sure the coaches have talked to him if they have the two brothers and a big hole at 197. I’m sure it just hinges on his trial at the end of September, and if he chooses to wrestle instead of professional MMA.
Probably in the room working out. Wonder how he does with Keuter or Cass?
Almost as much as you’ve gotta love an adult douche on a message board that has never worn a singlet, let alone competed in D1 athletics, making smart ass comments about a 20 year kid working back to a D1 program.

He made amends, that’s pretty rare in the cesspool. Now pay it forward Ronald
Very rare. We should light a candle and pray for peace on earth.
Not as much as someone who replies before reading the thread.
I didn’t read through the entire thread. You made a completely uncalled for insult of a kid. Yeah. I am the bad guy. Lol
