But Lee said he didn’t want the match…

Have seen bits and pieces. 149 (Thomas over Parco) and 165 (Monday over Hamiti) were good. Also not sure if this was already mentioned but broadcasters said they talked to Kenny Monday who confirmed Quincy was planning to stay at 165 for the remainder of the season.

I don’t think so, but even if they did why would Lee care about Ayala’s match count during a redshirt year?

I will say it seems silly if it’s actually true (and it may not be) that Lee didn’t want Ayala to be able to take a FF. Lee is a 3x national champ, what’s wrong with letting Ayala be the Soldier Salute champ?

Wait, this is being called a “push”? Lol

Can we put to rest the “college needs a 220” argument yet?

But if you’re watching a college match you probably already understand the scoring system. This just seems like trying to fix a problem that doesn’t really need fixing. Much bigger fish to fry if we’re making changes IMO

Just looking at Soldier Salute brackets…is Caleb Gross at SDSU Gross’s brother? Also weren’t there rumors that Bono essentially pushed out McDonough to make room for Gross on the coaching staff?

We talked about this on the old forum. I don’t like it. Sure, 6-5-4-3 is arbitrary but I think it works in determining who the better team was that day. And you’d still need an a arbitrary amount for a pin with this. And yes, the 9 1-0 matches vs 1 pin scenario isn’t going to happen, but something like 1 team winning 7 matches with an average margin of victory of 7 but losing 50-49 because they lost 2 by pin and 1 by 10 definitely could (I found 1 or 2 examples just in the past couple yesrs in the last thread) I don’t see how it would even be much if any easier to understand for fans. In high school many duals will end up with ~250+ total team points

The Soldier Salute feels like an Iowa fundraiser. Come out to one of your only chances to see Spencer Lee this season!!

Accidentally replied in the Midlands thread, but I said lol that Lee would wrestle in this and not a dual against Penn that they had a chance of losing

I don’t think Echemendia would count on Murin’s record? But they may still MFF because of “injury risk”

lol at Lee wrestling in this but not in a dual against Penn that they had a chance of losing

Yeah I got you @Idaho. I’m not sure if @H82Losewas even talking about the traditional Power 5 though which isn’t really relevant to wrestling? Maybe was trying to designate the “Power 5” as being the top 5 wrestling schools or something?

“IMO.” But it’s his alma mater and one of the most storied programs in wrestling. He’s doing a good job at Oregon State, but I THINK he could do even better at OSU Also, it’s easy for Pendleton to put an end to the speculation now, the job’s not actually open. And tons of coaches in all sports deny interest in other jobs only to take it a couple weeks later

Ah true

Why would you be so confident in this? OkSU is definitely a better job than OrSU IMO. I’m not so sure that’s the case with Pop and NC State though…

I was originally thinking he un-enrolled like the Ivy guys do (isn’t that still called a grayshirt?), but seems like he did actually get three medical years. I was going off the graphic which seemed to only indicate 2 medical years. He does have a master’s already though - https://larrybrownsports.com/college-football/cam-mccormick-oregon-eligibility-ninth-year/608779

I dunno, chalk me up as not being all that concerned about this? I’m assuming the “missed season” in 2019 was a grayshirt? So basically he redshirted, grayshirted, had a free Covid year and got 2 medical redshirt years.

More like a rhetorical question

If he is included then “they” made more than one statement…

Thanks again to everyone who set these forums up!

I assume Bono is included as part of “they”

I would actually probably agree with that statement. I don’t think you should expect coaches to basically tell kids how to transfer. I still think we don’t really have all the information here though. I also understand the possible POV from Wisconsin that they would have had to certify that Burwick “didn’t have an opportunity to participate.” But their statement they made still seems a little shady.

I guess so…other than the “32 year old” comment it didn’t really seem like a joke?
