Nationals Scuttlebutt and Rumors

[5q]

Gross would be nice for RBY or N lee to redshirt.

Lots have worn a brave and won matches

This is true. Not everyone is Nolf and can still win a title on one leg.

I spoke to a very nice Wisconsin insider this weekend, has a personal relationship with Barry and bono, and runs a Wisconsin wrestling website. Told me gross still unsure of where he ends up. Also saw facundo walking around with Carr

Bluejeans, if the Wisconsin insider was really nice, perhaps he could give us Gross' top 5 preferences

Mentioned Wisconsin and Minnesota, I wanted to ask about psu but he seemed like he honestly didn’t know much more, and being surrounded by fan bases that aren’t so fortunate at nationals, I decided to keep my homerism to myself lol

David Carr? Or Nate? Either way, he would be a great get for any program.

At Nationals between sessions I attended a few socials: Edinboro, Slippery Rock, Clarion (met in a bar without a dedicated room so hard to talk with others), and Brown University. Some visits were brief.

Some great Slippery Rock Alumi are fighting hard to bring back their program.

At the Brown event it was stated that an alum is reportedly to be giving a $6,000,000 donation to the program. Not bad for a program that was on the administration's chopping block 7 years ago. They had 4 qualifiers in Pittsburgh.

Brown is getting its own slush fund!

But have they cleared it with HR Compliance?

Heard that Gross is unsure simply because Bono might be in some hot water with the NCAA regarding tampering.

Is Mueller investigating it.? It might be 2 years until results are known.

When he withdrew from school in December, it was announced that this year would be a grayshirt unless he competed varsity in the spring.

So does that mean he wasn’t receiving any scholarship money? Generally, I’d assume if you are enrolled and receive scholarship money in your sport’s competition season that you would be a redshirt not a greyshirt. It’s understood that he withdrew in the fall but unless he repaid any scholarship then it seems like a loophole to have a wrestler withdraw late in the semester and reenroll to effectively preserve a year.

I'd assume that's a paperwork money transfer within PSU. Teasdale never personally received a dime and therefore had nothing to pay back. His scholarship was paid directly from Wrestling to the Bursar, and then presumably electronically returned to Wrestling when he withdrew.

He just lost to Spencer and now it's freestyle season.

you think Teasdale had a full ship? I'd be shocked if true.
edit, nvm, re-reading, I see that is not what you said

Rode the T Rail Saturday night with a SD State wrestler and his parents along with a bunch of Minnesota Wrestlers. Someone asked the SD people where Gross was going to end up, first response was who cares, then it was probably Minnesota and for sure he’ll get blocked to Wisconsin because there has been tampering. The Minnesota kids seemed to think he was going to concentrate on Freestyle. Just some more scuttlebutt.
