Davis at 141 and Desmond at 133 probably share the same ceiling. Top 4 probably out of reach, but still feel good about AA chances. Really just up to Blaze. PSU in the same boat either way.

The Big 3 is obviously out of the question
Crookham is health dependent

It'll be an adjustment but I think he can be in the JVD, Knox tier

He actually reminds me a bit of Tyler Knox stylistically, albeit Knox is a savvy vet who has just gotten it done every time at NCAAs

I was thinking he would be wrestling Knox for 5th. He would be a big 133

Heard something about that as well but not sure why. I heard it last night so it must be something recent

And I was ostracized just for raising the question after both Cael and Nolf seemed to indicate something is up on this front.

I suspect it is either NCAA incompetence or medical, and not the wrestling injury type. I hope the prior. I know we are all chomping at the bit to see him in folk and in blue and white.

Tragic of it never happens, but at least that question might creep into the realm of possibility if he doesn't go this season.

This is the blueprint. Judge shop, find a PSU/wrestling friendly one, take the case to them. Block the NCAA from banning Ono from competing. Simple, and there's established precedent, sort of.

Latest rumor is that some guy named Horilka Wódka called the NCAA to complain about Ono and Cael cheating, which led to his eligibility being questioned. My guy can't 100% verify it though.

NCAA has to get a win somewhere. Pick on a Japanese guy in an Olympic sport and let guys cut from a NFL team return to college football. Make it make sense.

The exact wording is somewhat vague but the implications are that he will not even be possible until January, and that even then it is "50-50". The part that worries me even more is that apparently there is going to be legal action that is needed, and that action could take a long time.

NCAA doing stupid. Oh my. What a shock.
He has been here for how long now?

I am legitimately befuddled by Ono's case. He committed to PSU 18 months ago.

Everyone knows when he enrolled in college, if Japan uses another calendar, okay, adjust it.

Cael was originally saying he expects Ono for multiple years. Now it's possibly none?

The NCAA has very special skills. Maybe somebody should check with Nick Saban and Ted Cruz to see what they feel would be best.

Not true.

There have been and are foreign guys that were professionals playing in NCAA. It's ridiculous period. But to now not allow ONO? Make it make sense.

If he doesn’t end up wrestling, I do think they Desmond ideally at 133 has a higher ceiling than Davis at 141. Discount the win over Luke because of the teammate piece, but he wouldn’t have beaten him if the talent wasn’t there.
