tO$U vs Illini
- Thread starter dunkej01
- Start date
tO$U up 19-17 going into last match and 197 Martin takes a shot to his noggin.....new concussion protocol sends him to the locker room. A bit scary for a moment, he was laid out face down for several seconds.
the video isnt great from a distance, so it might have looked worse than what it was.

Saw a few of the matches, missed others with interwebz buffering fun ...
Match started at 285, Haines beat Black 3-2. Surprise that Snyder didn't go?
Richards dominated Orange DiJulius 8-3. Win not surprising, not closer maybe is.
BoJo 6-3 over Rodrigues. Controlling win, but not a score-at-will affair by any means.
Myles Martin TF over Illin' backup 149. Looked good, but nothing to learn from that match. Martin looked like he could've swallowed the other guy whole.
Courts sat, Rozema lost 15-6. Koepke dominated on feet. Rozema only got 1 shot in, a decent low single, but got hard whizzered off it and immediately counter-picked for 2.
Tomasello and Martinez by TF, ho hum.
197 back on, good, glad to see Martin OK.

I don't think Kyle Snyder' coming back until the PSU match. Nice timing. Wonder if he'll be HWY or 197 for that.
Polite description. Martin stalled his rear off, blocked the entire match, got rewarded for it.
Heavy. Word is he's around 230, which means he can't get to 197 until maybe B10s. I don't think he'll try to cut.
Snyder isn't going to wrestle for tOSU until the PSU dual in February. He is going to a couple overseas free style tournaments in January.
Per the link below, Snyder also said he isn't going to try to cut to 197. He will be strictly at 285. So we likely won't be seeing much of Thomas Haines after the end of January.

What's the Olympic weight he is wrestling at? Isn't it the equivalent of ~197 lbs?
Maybe Cael has both Van Cura and Smash weigh in at '97 and if needed sends Van Cura at '97 to lay one on Martin and Smash out take Snyder out!! 
Actually hope both teams are healthy (come on Cutch!) and put on a great show with the Blue and White Smiling on the way out of the BJC.
Ohhhhh and the Scarlet letter crew enjoy a long ride home complaining of average official while battling the flue!

I am a little curious about his academic load. Is he enrolled in a semester abroad? Maybe cyber classes? Does not sound as if he will be spending much time on campus
I hope it's not as groan-inducing as Logan's typical day that they showed at NCAAs last year. I think he had as much or more nap time scheduled as classes. It was like the schedule of a toddler at Little Learner's Day Care (e.g. Recess, snack, learning, nap, recess, beddy-bye time). Not a bad gig for a 23 year old college senior. They joke about Matt Brown's age, but Matt was pulling a 3.9 GPA and ROTC

Not at all. 213+ pounds with weigh-ins almost 24 hours before competition. The folkstyle equivalent would be more like 225, if there was such a weight in college.
So you're asking if an Ohio State athlete is playing skool?
No inside info on what he's doing, just some process thoughts ...
He's just a SO, and he's training primarily in Columbus with travel. He did spend his HS SR year at the USOTC, so he has some experience with non-traditional education.
My question would be about next year. IIRC, the Olympic shirt allows athletes to take a leave from classes. Is that true? Also, NCAA eligibility requires passing min # credits the year before. If he didn't take classes and the NCAA doesn't recognize a leave with the shirt pulled, that may be an issue next fall.
I doubt there's an issue. Snyder may be taking classes, and Ryan certainly checked first. Unique situations bring interesting questions.
I read a lot....but I think I read somewhere he is taking 13 credits this spring. I could also be delusional.
14.01.2 Academic Status. To be eligible to represent an institution in intercollegiate athletics competition, a student-athlete shall be enrolled in at least a minimum full-time program of studies, be in good academic standing and maintain progress toward a baccalaureate or equivalent degree.
... and typing that got me thinking about something else: what is the rule about usage of Olympic vs. regular tanshirts?
Here's where I'm going with that: if they're essentially the same, then Snyder is still shirting no matter what he and Ryan say -- he hasn't wrestled folk yet.
Seriously doubt he's practicing with the folk team any more than the other ORTC members, so that shouldn't be an issue. His debut is PSU -- if the dual has been clinched, does Ryan send out Snyder against Johnson or a converted 174/184? What does Snyder gain from that? Or does he send Tav or Haines for cleanup on aisle 10?
Etc for the other 1-2 duals he might wrestle. If he's still 0-0 at B10s and the team isn't good enough to win the national title, can still send Tav to keep Snyder eligible for another full year.
Just a thought ...
