Down the road...Snacks vs Kerk?
- Thread starter RLSalty
- Start date
They each start for one year while the other shirts. For the other three years, one guy pretends to be injured and gets a sixth and seventh and eighth year. Problem solved. Light work. 
2020 - Snacks, Kerk ORS
2021 - Kerk, Snacks RS
2022 - competition, best man wins, other loses a year
2023 - Snacks, Kerk RS (freestyle focus for Olympics)
2024 - Snacks, Kerk ORS
2025 - Kerk
2026 - Kerk
There would be some grumbling out west about all the redshirts but that’s normal. One or both of the guys may not want to redshirt on that schedule. But you could feasibly keep them both and only have one guy miss one varsity year. This also allows for some consistency as both guys at least get back to back junior and senior years and allows Kerkvliet his best shot at Olympic gold.

I like the way you think, and as bonus, they both leave with PHd's..
A guy can take 2 Olympic RS? I can't imagine Kerk wants to still be in school six years from now...
Interesting, but is it confirmed
Kerk is even on ORS right now? Does he have eligibility for 4 yrs of competition, or will a penalty on the NLI to tOSU take a year away?
I don’t think there has been confirmation either way. That was just going off of rumors. Though, I’m not sure why, if you are eligible and want to take an Olympic, a transfer would disallow that. But again I don’t think we have heard anything official.
But if this year does count as a year, you can just take away his last year and Seth and him still only have to lose one year between the two.
Jesus Christ .... this could work actually. That would require Kerk to be in college for 7 years though.
This is an excellent plan.
Another thing to bear in mind is that Kerk has a history of knee injuries. So even if he wins the job in 2022, that doesn't automatically mean Snacks loses a year.
Definitely a good point. Unfortunately at this point it would almost be a surprise if Kerk doesn’t get injured once. Having Seth to fill in would be extremely helpful.
That's between him and the coaches. No rule limits wrestlers to 1 Olympic shirt.
IDK about his academic goals, but I went straight to grad school, so I was "in school 6 years from now." If he's getting the grad school degree anyway, may as well have it discounted. The question may be more of: does he still want to wrestle folk that long, or will he want to graduate on-time and then go full-time freestyle?
Yeah, not sure if he (or Seth) would actually be on board with this plan. Though with Kerk’s Olympic he could leave college for that year.
Good job “planting the seed” for the *cough* *cough*
injury. Yeah, the family had a lot of injuries. [Say no more. Wink. Nudge. ] #eighthyear

That’s impressive, after 6 years I barely got my bachelors. Almost all semesters I was pulling 12 credits except when I had to drop a 8am class.
The Nevills family doesn’t remind me very much of Bubba...
Sorry pal, if the last decade has taught us anything, it’s to be greedy SOBs.Please send the one you guys don't need to Ames Iowa and we promise to love him unconditionally
