Cornell First Semester Hold Outs

[Hammerlock3]

No Diakomihalis (not sure he's the starter anyway), Shapiro, Cornella, or Fernandez in the first semester. Is this academic or is Cornell just doing what everyone wants to do an shortening the season for anyone who seems injury inclined?

Could it be a way to maximize their eligibility due to the constraints of Ivy League?

Cornell doesn't care about Duals, PERIOD!

I think Gregor Diak has a better chance at starting at 125lbs than Fernandez does at 149lbs, fwiw.

Greg D, Cornella, and Fernandez can't enroll this semester without graduating this semester, so they are sitting out to wrestle in the second semester (the one that counts).  Yes, due to Ivy rules.  Shapiro is on a pitch count, and I *guess* that he's saving his Ivy eligibility just in case there is an injury issue in the future.

Most think Greg can beat Milani at 125; Fernandez has to get past Jaxon Joy at 149, and most think he won't.

(and, no, I haven't taken a poll)

Don't think Fernandez beats Jaxon Joy.

Are you suggesting Ivy student athletes are tricky smart?

Any chance we see Fernandez try to find himself a spot if that gap between him and Joy widens (if Joy is even above him).  Meaning maybe he goes 157/165?

Nope.  Fernandez bumped up from 133 to 149 a couple of years ago.  Way too small to be anything heavier.  Shapiro at 157, of course.  149 is his only choice.
