Fire it up, Big Snacks! (I'm a little disappointed... got myself all worked up the past few days)
Cue Mineo's breaking news tweet that he has insider info that Kerkvliet has not been approved.
288 Posts and just to come full circle. Hmmmmmmm feeling like an Iowa fan right now lol. Soooooo are we back to no chance or is there still a chance. Lmfao. I'm going our on the proverbial limb here and stating for the world to see that we are the champions until we are dethroned and that can't happen til next year right lol
Regardless of how well Iowa performs, we have our Boys to cheer on to championships. It’s what we do!
There goes my budding reputation as an insider. Oh well.... I do stand by my initial assessment of my source as "pretty good" though.
Maybe I should have said "okay"

Yep we do have the best group of guys and I know they have to be chomping at he bit. Can't wait to see the difference between bigs and nat's should be a blazer

Was it Kerkvliet singing "It's gonna be me" by NSYNC in the room?
All kidding aside, you're obviously a reputable poster on the board, maybe if you did it 3 more times, we can reevaluate
I'll play along @WildTurk ... Thankfully Turk and Glosser stayed at Iowa to provide depth at 149 when they could have went somewhere else to challenge for the podium this season. And if only Wilcke had known that Assad's redshirt was going to be burnt...

Nah, regardless of how it plays out, the information you, bopper, and others shared is appreciated.
Oh well... at least you still have your reputation as an intelligent, rational, and personable poster. That beats “insider” any day.There goes my budding reputation as an insider. Oh well.... I do stand by my initial assessment of my source as "pretty good" though.

I'm not buying into any more rumors unless they are confirmed by Spyker.
That's OK. A couple of years ago I was told by a really reliable friend that Patrick Glory was coming to Penn State "no matter what." I posted that is what I heard and the very next day he announced he is going to Princeton.There goes my budding reputation as an insider. Oh well....

Occasionally you try and let your message board buddies know what you know and it makes for good conversation. Sometimes you go "whoops!"
You got good conversation and an apparent whoops.
Just goes to show with the NCAA you never know what is going to happen with any one ruling. Apparently here, Penn State and Ohio State both approved of the waiver. So much for the NCAA looking out for the best interests of the athlete.
If I had to guess, it probably had more to do with his academic progress in the fall semester (as @Dwayne_Johnson33 posted NCAA policy notes about) vs. standard transfer eligibility requirements. It probably hinged on the completion of transferable credit hours in the Fall.
I believe that's most likely the reason he can't compete this season. Even if he was indeed granted a complete release from tOSU, you can not sign another NLI during that same signing year.
I agree with this.
And I also think if Snacks and Shaq can come alive just enough to get on the podium even at 8th...we will win with the horsepower our 5 are flashing. Shaq can do more than that if the switch has gone on. Snacks....probably blood round.
All true, and I think Seth is in a pretty good spot now. He can...
a) Crash and burn, bowing of the tournament immediately: I really don’t expect that to happen.
b) Have a decent tourney run, gain some points and experience, maybe AA, and contribute to a good team performance that if not a championship, isn’t on his shoulders.
c) Become a LEGEND for all-time.
He's academically ineligible. He basically stopped attending any classes at Ohio State once he knew he was leaving in late September, therefore he has no academic record. There was thought we could blame a lot of it on Ohio State, but at the end of the day it was a pretty easy decision within the guidelines of the rules. Don't think you can blame the NCAA on this one.
Does that mean he can still count this year as a redshirt year? Sounds doubtful--which may be why there was pressure to get him active.
This was 100% true. He would have went to PSU for free that’s how bad he wanted to go there.(money not an issue for the family) He never got the ok from PSUs end.
If someone is enrolled in school, but doesn't compete as an attached wrestler, why would it count as a redshirt year?
I don't understand not getting the ok from PSUs end. If he would have went to PSU as a walk-on wouldn't that mean he would just have to get accepted? Seems unlikely he would be accepted to Princeton and not Penn State.
From the NCAA site:
- Five-year clock: Division I student-athletes have five calendar years from the first enrollment at a two- or four-year school to compete four seasons of competition.
Yeah...my mistake. Missed the contraction.
I meant:
Why **wouldn't** it count as a redshirt year if he's enrolled in school, but not wrestling attached?
I remember seeing an educational film (not video, film) in elementary school, about penmanship and understandability. A kid’s father at work tried to place an order for 1000 shirts, but his cursive was sloppy and so 1000 skirts arrived, and the father had to go home and tell his family he’d been fired. Did anyone see that one? It was a good film, seeing that I remember it decades later.It's that punctuation and grammar thing again, which so many seem to ignore, not to mention reading ability.
Hi Guys, so what do you think can the Lions pull it off this year? Is Kerk going? Can Cael do it again?
Oh good. This can be the new "why didn't Cael recruit Sasso".
Why didn't Cael give Glory the OK?
