How many 7th year guys this year?

[1032004]

I’m sure @Wrestleknownothing could have had an automated list…

I think this should pretty much be the last year of guys who got the Covid year unless they had more than 2 redshirts.  To be a 7th year guy for this season they’d basically have to have redshirted as a true freshman in 2020 and also a different year since.

But curious how many are left?  I can’t think of many:

125 - can’t think of any

133 - Byrd

141 - can’t think of any.  I believe Echemendia might have one more year next year and if so he’d be one then

149 - can’t think of any

157 - can’t think of any

165 - can’t think of any

174 - Kharchla

184 - can’t think of any

197 - can’t think of any.  Elam is only 6th year if anyone was wondering

285 - Ghadiali, Luffman.  Ferrari will be one if he wrestles after this year

You must be mistaken, surely that must be Chris Cannon Jr. His dad wrestled at Northwestern.

The only coach to have final 4s stripped at 2 different schools, Coach Calaslimey. However, he makes a good point.

Bassett will be 20 years old when he starts school. He could redshirt, he could also olympic redshirt. He could be a 25 year old senior. Thats weird, isn't it?

They’re all on ISU

It’s beyond weird.  But I predict a small army defended the practice in this thread after you asked the question.  (I didn’t read the rest of the thread)

 

skipping 8th grade 11 times to grow is behind weird too

Knox is 20 and if he redshirts this season will be 21 when he starts competing in college

Very unlikely he will redshirt.  How old was Daton Fix as a senior again?

Echemendia is 26 and plans to compete again next year.

Brock Hardy (Mormon mission, but regardless) is 25 right now.

AJ Ferrari will be 25 for his final year.

I believe Fix was 26 at his final NCAAs.

Josh Barr will be a 25 year old senior if he redshirts just once.

 

Bassett could also forego redshirts altogether and graduate as a 23 year old like the majority of college wrestlers. Get a new shtick.

Say it and they will come.   
 

it is wrong.  It is imoral for People repeat 8th grade or a year of high school to get bigger better faster at sports.   It is immoral.   It is not illegal.   Yes people do it.   But people should not.  Tis a form of legal cheating.

Live and let live, brother. Life's too short to be wearing yourself out over something so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. In Who's #1 this year, literally every kid in the event outside of Zinkin was old for their grade. You can yell at the clouds all you want, but immorality is running rampant.
