    Five in Five - What Might That Look Like?

    I agree. There were only 10 true freshmen wrestlers in this past NCAAs (8 AAs). There were 41 redshirt freshman (8 AAs) --- I would expect maybe half of those would have made the NCAAs as true freshman. Going forward maybe 30 true freshman make the tournament each year. Between injuries and...

    Five in Five - What Might That Look Like?

    Help me understand the transition period. Are the "old rules" really the "old rules"? Will anyone choosing the 4 for 5 option by July 31 still have the ability to get 4 for 6 or even 4 for 7 with future injury redshirts like the "old rules" used to allow? For example: If Connor Mirasola was...

    With full scholarships, NIL and revenue share, I wouldn't say it SUCKS... Each of these guys are one injury from starting and need to stay sharp. I would expect all of them to get matches this year --- both in duals and open tournaments. And they each get another NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ring ;)...

    Five in Five - What Might That Look Like?

    Personally I like 5 for 5 and don't see it much different then 5 for 4. With expanded rosters and scholarships, revenue sharing and NIL and transfer portals, the world is drastically different than the old 9.9 model. In either ruleset the wrestler is in college 5 years. Why should an athlete...

    Just a couple of thoughts. With no redshirts Penn State can load balance the schedule more easily to minimize injuries and the team can wrestle the Southern Scuffle as an attached team --- although that would count as a competition date.

    Melvin Miller: The top-ranked American high school wrestling phenom from Bishop McCort High School in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, was born in October 2006. He is 19 years old. [1, 2]. Per Google if correct, he will be 20 in October. Will he lose a year unless he goes to VT this season?

    Appreciate your reply, but give me an example of anyone requesting a waiver extension by July 31? Obviously by the old rules, Connor Mirasola (assuming doctor documented injuries) could have requested and probably received a medical redshirt (even after a RS). I read the July 31 waiver...
