I love Cornell. I am Cornell. AND I'm an insane leftist with a very specific attitude about our nation's approach to the military and military culture generally. That said... The admissions requirements for West Point and Cornell would not be depicted as a big West Point circle with a little Cornell circle inside it. There are a lot of West Point admittees who couldn't get into Cornell and a LOT of Cornell students who couldn't get into West Point (like me, and not just because I couldn't do all the pushups.) The average SAT score is probably higher at Cornell but that's not particularly important. The military academies are looking for different things - a committment to something, a desire to serve - than the Ivies are and it's reflected in admissions, even for those recruited in part for athletics.

saw the topic and even though the first half of the page was not as toxic as i had expected, i'd rather rinse my eyes with bleach than read the entire thread.

checking in after some time away and i want to make sure that someone explained this joke to you

no idea! who cares! your joke detector needs a tuneup.

Come on. Read what you posted yourself more critically: The "Olympic redshirt" is a leave of absence just like you can get a "medical redshirt" retroactively. You are splitting hairs and I don't think you are right definitionally. Everyone at the time called it an Olympic redshirt because it extended their eligibility.

I will admit that on reflection there wasn't as much difference between Arujau and Kememer (yes, it was Kemerer) than I had thought. Kemerer was only ~6 months older than Arujau when he graduated HS and 7=7 except in freestyle. That said, it was novel in the immediate aftermath of COVID for Kemerer to come back for a second senior year. Arujau basically had a long delayed sophomore year after his 2020 Olympic redshirt and the cancelation of the 2021 season by the Ivies. Plus, Koll wasn't even there anymore! So Kemerer is more egregious on crtieria.

there absolutely is an olympic redshirt in the ivies. arujau, yianni and dean all took 2020 off because of their finish at the previous US Open. the season happened, only the NCAAs got canceled.

All I'll say is that this guy was born in December 1996. (but i hate the recruiting of ferrari regardless of his age.)

no need to defend koll beyond the obvious: "pioneering the greyshirt" is a pejorative way of saying he figured out a hack to ivy redshirt rules that let him maintain a nationally competitive program. greyshirts don't create an advantage that other schools don't have. tbh if other schools wanted to do a greyshirt AND a redshirt there's nothing stopping them. i think there should be more wrestlers on their second marriage and lipitor by their senior year.

RIDICULOUS! UNC should NOT allow this woman on their wrestling team!

safesport and most governments don't have the libertarian attitude on prostitution re: consenting adults. it's generally considered adjacent to trafficking and coercion. you think you want a firm hand until it's not the hand you're paying for that grabs you.

you really haven't seen this?

wanted to share the good word with a wayward soul

i don't want to take anything away from gable's run to the final but geno obviously didn't think there was enough time after the restart to end up on his ass and didn't bother mounting a real defense and he thought wrong

snyder discussion shockingly mature

at the warning

my preference would be a top stall results in a return to neutral with no escape point

dylan palacio did a lot of these. i'm never quite sure how many were real and how many were wannabe influencer gags.

who knows if he'd even be a good coach. not all of the greats are, because the things they do so naturally are impossible to teach. i'll tell you one thing he probably doesn't want: to get kicked in the face.

this is such standard athlete-speak that it's not even worth quoting, much less getting upset about. it's white noise. empty calories. give that interview some steroids is what i'm sayinig

all i'm saying is that yianni said the same thing but i don't think cornell was going to ask him to cut no matter what the lineup looked like. people say this like it's a bad thing but i don't think it is at all.

i hope once you go back to back you have a little more say in your weight. let the team warp around you a little.

re: Cornell, Joy and Cerchio are coming off of greyshirt. Joy probably has to beat out Cornella at 141 (I hope Cornella is back, anyway) and/or Fernandez at 149. If he doesn't/can't get into the starting lineup he's probably not an impact freshman. Cerchio almost certainly slots in for Ramirez at 165. I'd be pretty surprised if Knox, Perentin, Elijah D. the Cortezes, DeJesus, Correa and Dellagatta didn't all greyshirt this year. The big hole in the lineup is 184 and I don't see anyone on that list (or even coming off of greyshirt) who fits the bill.

according to the coach, he's stepped away from wrestling

Marinelli WAS a hammer! He never stood at the top of the stairs but come on the bar can't be that high.
