What this adds up to is a really tough dual on Sunday. Ridge Lovett will be the favorite against Beau, and Nick Lee’s old buddy Chad Red just knocked off Micic. Coming off Michigan, Iowa, and Ohio State, this dual has all the makings of a potential letdown. Good thing we’ve got the best coaching staff on the planet to help try to avoid it.
I doubt we see beards. Primed for medical redshirt. Hasn't wrestled since hurting his knee in the match versus Elam.
I don’t know the medical redshirt rules, but why doesn’t any and every non-starter who wants to retain eligibility just twist their knee? Not twisting your knee costs you a year of eligibility. Makes no sense.
It would give him an extra year of eligibility. If you are not starting and assume you will be starting next year at psu or some where else why wouldn't you want that year? For example cassar and shak. Though according to mineo it looks like beards is going tomorrow.
Yes, I get that. But, according to your logic, all anyone has to say is they twisted their knee, and they’ll get a medical redshirt. The rules to qualify for a medical redshirt have to be more strict than that or everyone who wants to retain eligibility would say they twisted their knee.
I am sure it involves an orthopedic evaluation, but working in the medical field, you can find a doctor for anything you need.
WV Lion, I’m not trying to be argumentative, but it just seems against the spirit of the rule if Beard were to be granted a medical redshirt based on MFFing out of a tourney due to a sprained knee. Now let’s say he tore something and Cael said he was done for the year and he couldn’t practice. Would a medical redshirt be warranted? I don’t know the rule that well, but with nearly half a season under his belt, I don’t think it’s a certainty he’d be granted one.
Spencer lee had doctors medically clear him to wrestle, now he is not wrestling. There really are no rules in the NCAA now, it is a free for all.
Technically, Beard is a redshirt freshman this year. Since last year didn’t count.
If you really want to be technical, he's a redshirt sophomore. The NCAA is not counting that extra year until you decide to take your free year after your final year and become a Senior+.

thats just the way PSU is going about it. If you look at other schools, they didn’t count last year. So, Beard can have 3 years left after 2022 NCAA’s.
Say what.... a racial slur was used in Iowa? Come on man... let’s call Kirk Ferentz in on this investigation. He surely can help us get to the bottom of this.
I looked this up to try to get clarity, and now I'm even more confused.
If you noticed Nebraska today, all their guys were listed as last year didn’t count. Lovett will be going to his 3rd B1G tournament. He was listed as a sophomore. Labriola will be going to his 4th, listed as junior. As far as I understand, Carter & AJ Ferrari can be 5 time champs.
Iowa fans have proven themselves to the the bottom of the barrel. Opponent injured?? Boo him and watch an Iowa coach mock him. Hispanic opponent?? Shout racial slurs at him. The Imbeciles Out Walking Around scoff at collegiality.
If that’s incorrect, then what is the NCAA saying?
notice the part I made bold. It is assuming he didn’t wrestle in the freshman campaign.
If a kid has been effectively choked lifeless, the call is pretty simple to me. Especially given the kid who had the life almost choked out of him was on top in the superior position.
I don't follow. Superior position? He got choked out by an illegal headlock, turned, and "pinned."
It says "a D1 freshman athlete, whether they compete in the 2020-21 competition season or not"
