Per Poke Nation ... Jax is redshirting
- Thread starter OldMatCoach
- Start date
I saw that on X this morning. His follow up post was that he was just kidding. He's lame.
Until world wrestling correspondent, on the scene report and breaking news anchor @Corby2 posts about it on 4 forums (under the corby handle), it’s just fake news.

Definitely fake news. Jax will be hitting an open to get his matches up so he has 15 after big 12s so he doesn't miss out on RPI points for seeding. And I only post on 4 boards
How many matches does he have ? Thought he hit a tournament earlier, is he close to 10?Definitely fake news. Jax will be hitting an open to get his matches up so he has 15 after big 12s so he doesn't miss out on RPI points for seeding. And I only post on 4 boards
He's has 7 now. Iowa would be 8. Should get 4 at big 12 . So would need 3 next weekend at an open
Just 4.Definitely fake news. Jax will be hitting an open to get his matches up so he has 15 after big 12s so he doesn't miss out on RPI points for seeding. And I only post on 4 boards
Jax has gotten literally all the press and all the attention. Marcus is riding under the radar and probably will stay under that radar until Saturday night in Cleveland when the nation gets to see what we already have known all along. The second coming of Dake/Taylor with the exact same results, except in this case Dake wears the Penn State singlet and Taylor the Okie St singlet.
4-3 or 5-4. Marcus.
4-3 or 5-4. Marcus.
John would be feeling a bit nostalgic and have him make 118.

Word is he will be missing that dual next weekend to hit an Open
Which means he's going to the Jackrabbit Open at South Dakota State. Because otherwise he could go to the Mat Town Open in Lock Haven and sleep in his own bed the weekend of 2/8, with his parents driving him to/from everywhere after he lands.
There may be a hitch, it has to be a team event and he has to be attached. The rule regarding freshman is that it is the athlete's 1st term that prohibits them from wrestling unattached.

Blaze has already beat Jax a few times. Gonna be fun to watch. PSU will have a great crowd in Cleveland OH.
If Marcus is under the radar, he won't remain so much past Friday night if he beats Davino. Then, he'd need to go through Davino and Byrd at B10's, so if he makes it through that minefield, the bullseye will be squarely on his back come Cleveland.
If he beats Davino, he should be the top seed at big tens and only have to beat one of them
Will be interesting how the coaches vote 133 at big 10s if that's the case. Wouldn't shock me if Byrd still got the #1. Coaches aren't gonna be looking to do Penn st any favors
Byrd is a good situation as he hasn't 'ducked' or missed any competitive matches, correct? If he had that should go against him when comparing to a Davino or a Marcus if he wins (when he wins 
)
)Omg I wish that would be awesome. Can college wrestlers even compete in RAF? I think they are a professional organization that pays them.
I seriously doubt that anyone but Byrd will be the #1. He's an undefeated returning B1G and NCAA champ. He hasn't ducked anyone. It's not his fault that neither PSU nor tOSU were on their schedule.
Historically, college athletes can compete in pro events as long as they refuse the money.
Sorry if I am hi jacking the thread. Is it against the rules if they did receive money? I just tried looking it up doesn’t look like any men’s college wrestlers competed at all. The only one I saw was Bassett can a high school go pro than go to back to college wrestling.
NCAA brilliance. U can accept $1,000,000 in NIL funds but you can't accept $25,000 prize money.
Yeah, I gotta take my L here. Thought Byrd has a loss and he does not.
Devils advocate: it is not the fault of an undefeated Blaze or Davino either.
Sure, that’s how it will work. I am just saying seeding for a tournament for a particular year should be a function of performance in that year. Blaze or Davino paying a tax this year because they didn’t compete last year is illogical.
With the new seeding formula for B1Gs the winner of Blaze/Davino should get the 1 seed due to quality wins and RPI. Coaching rank difference is minimal Here's the scoring per Willie's report last week
�
| versus the field | 25 | ||
| common opps | 25 | ||
| B1G Dual record | 20 | ||
| Quality wins | 10 | v. CR top 33 | |
| RPI | 10 | ||
| CR | 5 | 3+2 breakdown if each ranked, 5-0 if only 1 ranked | |
| AQ earned | 5 |
Coaches Rank and RPI are out. https://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling...oaches-rank-and-rpi-2026-division-i-wrestling
An undefeated B1G champ will get the 1 seed for Nationals
