Holman, Hodgins and Romero are class of 27. There’s also a good chance we don’t see Holman until maybe 2029 or so since he is Mormon and will probably go on a missions trip.
Move Vega in with Panda. Panda knows how to cook & eat.
Norman is in Stillwater and been working with the team.
Agreed. IMO the ONLY way we see LRob move up (and it wont be this coming season) would be if he hits a growth spurt or if he jumps another level and knows he can win it at 165.
Jordyn could get 1 more year starting by wrestling 141 this year and then Olympic redshirt next year and regular redshirt the next year. Jaydyn could get another year starting if he started 133 this year with Jax going to 141. Obviously, both can't happen this year. However, we have a log jam that could cost us.
How long do we think that lasts before someone lawyers up and tries to reinstate them?
Like all those logjams that keep costing Penn State national championships?
I really see people like me, who held their child back, based on research and brain maturity. It is smarter to hold a child that has challenges sitting still and let them mature as far as you can before you send them out into the world.
So really, the NCAA is exhibiting some discrimination.

1 year holdbacks aren't gonna be affected by this but 2 year ones will. My opinion if it's gonna benefit him/her in the real world later in life I would do it regardless. If the goal is being ready for the real world who cares if they get 4 or 5 years of competition
Well, maybe the millions of kids who had that path?
I guess they’d still get 4 years though, so whatever.
If they are eligible to choose to go under the old rules then this is still a thing until fall of 2027. I haven’t seen anything that says if an athlete chooses the old rules, they only get one shirt. Will still be eligible for Olympic shirt based off that.
Yes they still get 4 years the exact amount they thought they would get when that path started. And if 5 is what they want they've time and can recalssify

No more waivers it says . Olympic RS are gone. You could go 4/5 and use the regular redshirt in 27/28 and train for the Olympics but taking an Olympic RS can't happen under these rules
This is the best explanation I have seen yet about the rules. It does says if you decide on 4/5 that no waivers will be given

I get it man! I just don’t agree with it. It is just more overreach by the NCAA that further distances the student and the athlete. If it wasn’t solely about sports, why aren’t academias forced into the same set of guidelines? Money! Schools need money from students, athletes need money from schools…it’s really that simple. Leave one alone to keep every instance of profit available and constrain the other that costs money with definite parameters. It’s gross to me.
Maybe it’ll be good? Maybe it won’t?
This was my argument too. Five for five is a full rejection of amateurism. Makes sense from a business perspective, kinda sad from a “college sports should be about amateurism and helping kids get degrees” perspective.
