Shayne makes a move

Huh. Maybe like the guys who enroll early before the second semester in football. Has that happened in college that anyone knows? A hs kid skips his senior year, graduates early, enrolled for the spring semester in college and wrestles for whatever team that same year?
I know it's happened a few times in basketball and more in baseball.

Edit. Maybe the slush fun can get this kid some new jeans. 😂

More like the Nick Lee Plan.
 
All 3 Lee brothers spent their HS senior years in State College training with NLWC while finishing HS online.

To add, I believe their grandmother moved to PA and they lived with her and she helped them finish HS as stated above. 4 IN State Titles between them. (Matt 1, Nick 1, Joe 2). Would have been more if not for Stevan Micic and Chad Red, Nick's only 2 losses in HS. Joe lost his freshman year, to a returning state champ. Joe was leading early when he got caught and a quick fall.

Maybe HS classes are remote anyway and he can get better workouts at the NLWC?
I think many schools in the area are virtual right now. Not sure if it was Willie or Askren, but one of them thought a possibility for this year for some of these high level kids in states where the season has been pushed to the spring would skip the season to concentrate on Junior or Cadet trials. Not sure about Blair's season but Wyoming Seminary just announced that were cancelling the winter season and were going to try and have it in the spring. Since Shayne is in State College, maybe he needs a roommate and can give Bouzakis a call and see if he wants to join along for the spring.

A nice added benefit of the RTCs is the ability to get high level (qualified) high schoolers in your (unofficial) room that you would not be able to do in your college room. I know USA Wrestling has qualifications (I.e. place in certain National events) that our high level guys would meet.

Does this apply to NLWC Resident Athlete status, as opposed to other wrestlers who train at NLWC?

Asking because HS athletes have trained part-time at NLWC (without living in State College) prior to M2 existing. Thinking specifically of 2 PA champs, both of whom ranked top 2 nationally at their weights, who (to the best of my knowledge) never made a World Team. One of them did win Fargo, don't think the other ever competed there. Both wrestled elsewhere in college.

Or maybe there is a more recent qualification?

Thanks. Not sure when this was implemented, but it isn't much of a barrier for many D1 propsects, let alone the elite guys.

Both guys I referred to above reached state finals in their HS sophomore years and thus would've been eligible the day after states.
