Yes, Cael said yesterday that he and Henckel would not be on the roster due to their mission trip.

Though it seems somewhat clear he has some growing up to do--I will look back fondly on Braeden's career. In this era where virtually everyone in the lineup comes in with super high expectations, it's the ones who exceed them that stick with you.

Speculative question ...
Assume BD was not in the portal.
Is an athlete who was dismissed from a team allowed to transfer to another school before the next portal window?
Just wondering if Davis could show up somewhere in January.

Wrestling portal window is after the season in April, so I think the answer would be no he cannot.

Alternately, until he transfers elsewhere, having been dismissed, does anyone know if he can continue to use his athletic scholarship to finance his academic pursuits, for the rest of the semester, rest of the academic year, or rest of what would have been his eligibility?

I do not see any exception for that. And they passed that rule back in April that imposed massive penalties on undergrad transfers that happen outside of the portal.

Everybody is assuming BD was dismissed and it’s entirely possible he quit, realizing he was no. 3 at 141, in the dog house and not likely to get mat time.

Gave up his scholarship, the $6k in academic award $$$ Athletics pays everyone, his revenue sharing allotment, and any $NIL he was receiving because, after 3 years, it looked like he might start when it looked like that in prior years too?

Not buying it.

That’s a possibility although some of the subsequent posts give good reasons why Braeden quitting is not likely.

However, I’d like to point out the irony of the more recent posts on this topic. Prior to the roster being released, there was endless speculation as to whether Braeden would still be on the team. When the roster was released, supposedly the speculation would end, but it didn’t. Now the speculation has shifted to why isn’t he on the roster, is he just on a temporary probation, is he still at Penn State and would he be eligible to wrestle for another school?

But this is a message board and you have to expect questions and speculation from rabid fans who want to know everything. We’re just going to have to exercise some patience. I think the answers will come out eventually.

Or Cael could just say he's off the team or suspended 🤷. Not sure why the media is afraid to ask.

A 1 year suspension seems to make some sense. I would not expect Cael to address this directly even if asked

I think we will know for sure once we pass through the next portal window.

Little doubt Michigan would have their eyes on him with an attractive offer. His misdeeds pale in comparison to a number of other guys not to mention our favorite Italian sports car.

He was upfront about guys leaving for a mission 🤷 said they wouldn't be on the roster. That was a perfect time for a real reporter not the good ole boy network ones to say what about Davis is he on the roster still

Portal opens in April after NCAA. And he's in his 4th year so I doubt he's graduated. So he can't enter until he graduates or April whichever comes first

The roster wasn't posted until the morning after the press met with Cael--presumably because reasons. I expect someone will ask him next week, or in the presser tonight. Prior to that, the basis for the question would have been highly speculative, which would have given the man even less reason to provide a decent answer.

Well he offered up that Henckel and Mirasola wouldn't be on the roster that hadn't yet been released 🤷 So asking about if others would be on the roster seems fair

It's not about fair though. It's about having some kind of official information as the basis of asking a question. It's arguably fair to ask Cael questions based on message board speculation around a blurry black & white surveillance footage still. But that doesn't make it smart or mean he's going to give you a meaningful answer.

Yeah... but Braden Davis is the returning starter at 141 and an AA. it would certainly be a question I'd ask considering he went indepth about 133 and 141.

"So, ummm Cael sir... you just told us Blaze is going up to 141. Your returning starter has 2 years of competition available - will there be a wrestle off, will he redshirt, godshirt?"
