Catka redshirted in 2022, he battled Mullen for the starting spot last year. Should be good at Rutgers.

I don't think that's how it works. I think Cody Howard was un-enrolled for a period of time to help with roster/scholarship limits or something along those lines and his eligibility clock kept ticking.

Technically you can't speak to other schools if you aren't in the portal that would be considered tampering. Joining the portal also allows your team to not honor the scholarship. You can theoretically just transfer and walk on anywhere without joining the portal. In reality none of these rules are closely enforced. If a big school wants to contact you they will. If a coach wants you off the team, you'll be off the team. "DNC's" get contacted. Portal makes it easy to organize but it's still the wild west.

Last I heard he was waiting on a class but that was a while ago and first session summer classes would be over... and I think second session would be ending right about now. Going to assume NCSU fell through

Folk and free are close enough and even compliment each other to some degree. Two seasons is a good thing, and it's abundantly clear which two styles people care about.

Emphasis on the boring.

A few very rare situations that require a lot of assumptions could make this nothing but bad luck

None of the individual allegations would bother me in isolation but... Loaded handgun: fine, should probably be properly registered but I can overlook that Expired tags: Don't care - but know that your tags are expired and behave accordingly Weed stuff: Don't care but while driving is stupid Three extra handguns in the car: If he's specifically on his drive to move, sure but probably lock them away. Any other case this one is weird. All of the above: That's a bit shady. If this were a guy named Pat Downey or AJ Ferrari everybody would be skewering him. He's very likeable and historically is a good dude but this is a bad look.

Bill Bassett (my real answer is Jordan Burroughs, international success and all the top kids now grew up watching him win gold)

I know this is sarcasm but 2-4 were reportedly offered by at least one school

I think the US gets smoked, looks like Russias 1's & 2's vs. our 3's & 4's. Would rather see him in the ranking series.

Interesting that Andonian isn't competing but he will be there for the USA-Russia dual. Anybody else doing just one match?

It wasn't the main point he they claimed you couldn't get NIL until after high school graduation. Regarding the 250 mile rule. It's not enforced and I've heard it's going away although not sure on that. My whole point is that NLWC takes advantage of the same types of loopholes that CWC and everybody else does.

Bo Nickal is the worst, NIL is legal for HS kids in both PA and OK. NCAA compliance is a different gray area but he has no idea what he's talking about and his description made it illegal for Marcus Blaze to train at PSU prior to his very recent graduation

In theory there should be, 90% of private NIL would not have met the threshold per some report I read a month or two ago so I am paraphrasing. In practice, I doubt it's that strict. People will figure out the loopholes - they always do.
