It may be possible to get the Medical Waiver, I know that he played in a game this year, but I cant remember which one or ones. If he played during the Big Ten season then he will definitely not have a chance. GophersInIowa is right that it is harder than people think to get the waiver. I will say though, that I was shocked when Troy Stoudermire got his Medical Waiver even though he played in the North Dakota State game.
