Knowledgeable fans, from all sports, will get it. Just backing away and reading the words from a new fan perspective, and it's counter-intuitive.

Although I do award you points for keeping your thoughts under 10,000 words in this post.
Seems after reading this all the way out, your chance at a blue check mark is certainly held back by this thread. My advice is to have it blown up, so the committee can not find record of it in the future.
Actually I don't think the Lee's "grey shirted". They skipped their senior seasons to be home
schooled and practice with the NLWC. The others mentioned did.
I believe Joe "Home School" Shirted last year, is grey shirting this year, and will red shirt next year. Laundry day must be a bi+@#.
Just when I think this board is full of smart dudes who really know their stuff, along comes a thread like this that totally goes off the rails. My head hurts.
I think you actually nailed it .... in football once you start playing you never go back to redshirt. So while not literally losing (“burning”) the right to redshirt, since it almost never happens when a guy takes the field as a frosh it is effectively saying “I ain’t taking any years off”. In wrestling with lineup juggling and weight moves and stuff the phrase is misleading for sure
i always thought that was the definition of a grey shirt.
Grey shirting is a recruiting term that is not as commonly used as the term redshirting. A grey shirt is an incoming college freshman who postpones his enrollment in classes until the second term of his freshman year. This means they don’t take classes until the winter term. The NCAA allows college athletes five years to complete four years of eligibility after initial enrollment.
Some of Our boys didn't enroll at all.

For those who continue to be confused about the meaning of certain shirts, I've attached a simple chart to help cut through the foggy posts above and get clarity. You're welcome.
Which 3 months of LemonPie's calendar are. those?
That is how it generally works for football (although they could enroll part time), but greyshirting covers any athlete that does not enroll full time the first year after graduation high school.
So basically grey shirting is like taking a gap year. You know, that thing kids do after high school so they can travel to Europe and do all kinds of cool things before college. Just in this case the kids are training to reach a goal and achieve a dream.
And another thing - being a welcoming place for transfers will attract others.
Without scrolling back to see the year, I assume next year is the question? If so, CW is no because of the ASU meet in Arizona.
Too many factors to consider, what are his academic goals? How’s the weight management going, would he like to add bulk and bump up eventually? How does he finish this season? What does Cael have planned? Not everyone wants to be in college for 5 years
