So good.

I have a friend in the Bahraini embassy who says PSU is working on a student visa. No idea who that is for.

If anyone could have done it, it would have been Myles Amine. Seven years, but only five AAs.

Four timer 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023

I am with you there.

That makes two of us.

whatever

Dude, I wasn't doing tough guy schtick. Check you DM.

No, I am literally saying he is a legend. Look him up.

It's there. You just have to squint.

If your definition of a coach lacking loyalty is if a wrestler transfers out, then name a coach who is loyal. They are all disloyal by that definition. Is Brands disloyal? He brought in three one year guys and saw three wrestlers depart as a result. How about Taylor? He brought in a bunch of transfers over previous starters. What about Manning? He brought in Davis over another wrestler. How about Ryan? He had the highest ranked recruiting classes two years and those guys took spots from wrestlers who were already there. What I am saying is your definition of loyalty is ludicrous.

Better Call Stall. I hate myself for not thinking of that.

Some very bad examples here. Barraclaugh was not cut from Penn State. He graduated from Penn State with a year of eligibility left, as I am sure you know. And Berge came back to Penn State from coaching to finish his eligibility after earlier retiring due to concussions. I have no idea who hugged who though. Beard left because he was no longer the starter. That happens in every sport at every school. Quit acting like that is some evidence that Cael Sanderson lacks loyalty. It is what they all sign up for. You cite AJ hugging the Brands brothers. They had a lot of turnover last season because guys were no longer starters. It happens everywhere. It happens all the time.

I am going to do something silly here, and quote the rules. To get a hardship waiver for an injury: The injury or illness occurs before the first contest or date of competition of the second half of the playing season. In wrestling the first date of competition of the second half is defined as the 10th competition date for the team. Ferrari was 10-0 with all of his 10 coming in dual meets, the last of which was January 23, this was the eleventh competition date for the team. The injury or illness occurs when the student-athlete has not participated in more than three contests or dates of competition or 30 percent of the maximum number of contests or dates of competition of the playing season. The maximum number for wrestling is defined as 17 and the 30% provision is defined as 6 in the rules. He is clearly over the 30% provision. All that said, we have seen the NCAA lose a lot of court cases on eligibility issues, so who knows. But as the rule is written, he does not qualify for a medical redshirt, and he is not particularly close to the cut offs.

I had no idea Gardner had wrestled in college. Fourth in 1993. Nice.

When he is over 50 he should get one every year.

He certainly thinks he has a chance. I am not so sure he does.

I think only Rocky Elam has a shot next year. Lucas Byrd was a blood round loser in 2023, barely preventing him from having a shot.

No 6 timers. Heaven help us.

With regard to scholarship limits, that was really put in there for football. So any school that is now going to give 85 (I think) football scholarships is not going to have money left over to increase wrestling scholarships. If anything, they may need to decrease them. The way to do it then, is for alumni to endow wrestling-specific scholarships, ala Notre Dame before the shenanigans. That I could see happening.

Excluding 2020 there are 7 five time AA's. Including 2020 there are 20:

That includes 2020.

Nor does the NSA, those famous dimwits.

Said no military expert, ever.
