Consider Jayden James. He graduations HS in June 2026 (next month). His eligibility clock would start at that time, which would be right around his 18th birthday.

Then consider Bo Bassett. According to most reports, he turned 19 sometime in late 2025, while still in HS. His eligibility clock would start at that time, while still in HS. So he would have only 4 years of college eligibility remaining.

So not the same for everyone (though maybe about the same for most). But again, none of this is finalized yet and there may be exceptions, grandfathering, etc.
Not quite correct. The clock starts the earlier of high school graduation or the season following the 19th birthday. Since Bassett turned 19 during the school year the season after his 19th birthday becomes 2026-2027. So, starting with the 2026-27 season he gets five years.

All that is assuming what the NCAA floated publicly is what they wind up passing.

Cole was 227.5 imagine he's 235 next year. He's continuing to develop his offense and is scoring in different ways
Personally would love to see Cole in the 240s. Just some really tough competition around 250. We have a Great HWT coming in as well that needs to gain weight. E. Brown

UPDATE: Semifinals are underway. But they aren't third and fourth. Running men's and women's on side by side mats. So, Retherford will be fifth or sixth and Sealey's seventh or eighth.

It looks like Cronin dislocated Knox's shoulder with an arm spin attempt. Cronin hit an arm spin against Oliver earlier in the tournament. They popped it back in and the match continues

Knox up 3-0 at the break on a clock point and single TD. Knox with a TD to lace and wins 11-0

When the entire first period pbp is one sentence and it's about the clock, you can tell Robideau did absolutely positively nothing.

Jayden James vs. Quincy Monday

Both wrestlers try early low shots and each kicks away from the other. James is now in on a single Monday can' sprawl away from, and Monday turns in with James pushing forward before a stalemate is called a minute in. James is back in on Monday's left leg and Monday is now going over James and scrambling as James tries to come around and they go flying off the mat as James gets two exposure for a 2-0 lead. James is now circling on a high shot but Monday drops and gets his right leg and drives forward and on the edge gets a takedown to tie this match at two.

The final three minutes are underway. James has an underhook but Monday answers with a bodylock and then James drops on a single and ties to drop in behind but they break apart before that happens and it leads to Monday going on the shot clock with 2:14 to go. Monday does not score. It's 3-2 James with 1:40 to go. Monday dives in on a hard double and Jayden James somehow voids it but onday shoots in on a body lock as James tries to avoid giving up the takedown. Monday gets a lace in and it results in four and a 6-3 lead for Quincy Monday with 53 seconds left. James does get one back and it's 6-4 with 43 seconds left. Refs are now meeting about whether or not that was a four-point move. After discussion, the score ends up being 4-4. On the restart James shoots in and turns Monday toward his back and decks him for the fall. Wow.

James over Monday by fall 5:30.
