174 seeds

How did his school compliance officer and the coaches not know this going into the year.

I didn't look at the allocations until now. They only got 1? The one could have been earned by someone or given by default. But I guess in that case (that I didn't consider earlier) it should go to the 2nd in the conference assuming that person would be the champ now.

And it gets tricky because the Pac4 Bracket would most likely have been different with another LR 174 in it (or no LR entry).

I knew that the "free' year was only the 2021 postseason year.  How did people who have careers in NCAA athletics not know this?

Minnow is really worked up about this.  He must know the Rider guy or something.   His first post is technically incorrect, as they did not need to be “freshmen” in 2021, they just had to be on the roster in 2021 and not used up 4 years of eligibility between 2022 and 2025

I was wondering where he came up with the freshmen thing

Good stuff from Quentin Wright, though I hope he was attempting to be ironic with his St Louis spelling.

Minnow is never wrong and he's certainly never biased what are you saying

Everyone is hating on Thompson at 4 but I’m always gonna go to war for him. After the top 3 is just a cluster of guys and Kharchla/Norman had a chance for 4 and had awful weekends. Thompson beat Ruiz and Cassella. Ik he lost to Cramer twice early but he’s beaten him bad twice recently. They usually seem to reward guys wrestling better at the end of the season 

Expand  

Kharchla falls apart at the end of the season, at least from the limited data we have on it. Remember his FR year how he came out like gangbusters, looked like a championship candidate, but lost 4 matches over the final two tournaments and limped home to a 7th place finish at NCAAs? He got beat up over the course of the season and physically was barely holding it together at the end. Then he regressed over the next couple years while battling injuries. 

To be perfectly honest, I'll be surprised if he makes AA next week, despite his skills.

Ot's the New Jersey aspect of it, w/ Rider being in New Jersey - my guess.

He’s now made a couple posts about Josh Humphreys also, so may be salty about that if Brennan gets to wrestle

Don't most tOSU wrestlers suffer the same?   High end recruits that have their best results early in their career.   Rumor has it that Micah Jordan still hasn't gotten off of bottom.

I don't know about that, I've seen some pretty good wrestlers come out of there. Pretty funny comment about Jordan though

They are the only ones in this situation. I don't understand how the parties involved didn't get a concrete determination on whether or not he could compete this season. I also find it hard to believe they would just have an athlete train all year knowing he wasn't eligible and hoping it would go unnoticed. 

Unless they were told by an incorrect NCAA compliance person that Tyler Brennan was granted a 5th active season, I don't understand how this situation happens. If they were not told he had eligibility, it's seems pretty cut and dry that he competed illegally and should not be allowed to wrestle. If they were incorrectly told that he could compete, then that's where I can see things getting held up, and why it's taking so long to get an answer.

Obviously, this would never happen with a true AA contender, or an athlete on to trophy contending team, but I do think the matter should be handled the same as if it were. Letting him compete just because it likely won't effect team standings or the podium is not a good reason to let him compete.
