He’s been in the portal since March so something is definitely up. 

It's definitely not his academics ....

I’m surprised Iowa hasn’t scooped him up. He’d fit right in.

Anyone know what happened here?  Isn't his brother going there to coach? or is that an internet rumor that isn't true?

He was planning to go to Little Rock, but decided to pivot plans and will be joining the military.

the rumors i heard were the same everyone else did. he was having issues getting accepted into the schools. 

 

personally....id LOVE to see him at Chattanooga. We haven't had an AA since Cody Cleveland in 2008. The Mocs used to win the SoCon every year. App would sneak in once every three or four years and win a socon title and Campbell did too when Kolat was there. But, for the most part, it was Chattanooga's conference. Last year they finished 4th.

 

We need Cody lol.

I was in the SOCON from 2013-2017, and I attest to this. The program lost it's edge when Eslinger left for the FCA job.

Coach Ruschell was working for the last few years to have a huge team this year. They went after a lot of kids, but focused on bringing guys back to Tennessee. Had things gone to plan I think the lineup would've been something like

 

125- Cooper Flynn

133 - Blake Boarman (Purdue)

141 - Hunter Mason

149 - Isiah Powe (Iowa Central)

157 - Landon Desselle (Ohio St) 

165 - Cody Chittum (MIA)

174 - Mason Reiniche

184 - Kamdyn Munroe

197 - Logan Webster

285 - Carter Neves

 

I doubt they contacted Flynn, Mason, Chittum or Reiniche until they had announced they were leaving. Nor have I ever heard they had. Likewise, I doubt once Desselle got to Ohio St they recruited him any further but they did recruit him pretty heavily out of high school. I think the plan all along was for this to be the squad this year. Which would've been nuts. Absolutely nuts. Don't get me wrong, the team they will have this upcoming year will be the best they've had in YEARS. But there will still be a "what could've been"...

Are you certain? Is he done wrestling? And the speculation is that Cody Chittum's academic issues caused him to quit wrestling and join the military?

I am 100% certain that Draegen Orine will not be wrestling this season and will be joining the military. Will he wrestle again at a later date, with today's relaxed eligibility rules? I can't speak on that.
