It will work out if he listens to his coaches.

Power comes from the hairdo. Will need to stop cutting it if he wants to AA.
i get what you’re saying but I don’t think that will reflect ISU coaching staff in a bad way. Some guys just don’t make it in certain programs. Seemed like a difficult kid to get his mind straight from the way dresser talked about him in pressers.
He has a redshirt to burn, maybe he puts it off a year? He could use some consistency at one place for awhile and training while staying healthy
He’ll be a good pickup for whoever lands him.
No doubt. I wonder if he has a medical RS year up his sleeve from this past season. I could see him having 2 years left
The article says he has two years left
His first year was 2021-22 season which he RS so w/o MedRS he would only have 1 year left.
Juco years don't count against eligibility but your clock still starts . He's been out of HS 3 years and enrolled at Cowley out of HS. So he has 2 years
I think he is talking about Rathjen
So what’s the point of saying they don’t count against your eligibility if your 5 year clock still starts? Sounds like they do count
A recent NCAA decision determined that JUCO years would not count against the four years of eligibility. But my understanding was that enrollment in JUCO does trigger the start of the five year clock. In which case, someone can salvage one year but not two (if I'm reading it correctly)
The action in December was a waiver for JuCo athletes whose final year was to have been 24/25 . This was in response to an injunction in the case of the Vanderbilt QB who brought action against the NCAA for lost NIL opportunities stating that NJCAA and NCAA are not the same ( simplistic explanation ) the waiver giving them one extra year is for 25/26 only to certain qualified athletes. Speculation that this may lead to changing requirements but as of today it is the same except for those mentioned above.
ASU is in bad shape. As of now their starting lineup looks like a last place team in the BIG12. Bringing in JUCO kids can be good for depth or filling a certain weight. But it’s not going to turn that program around. I do really like Ruiz at 165 though he’s a tuff kid.
Their potential lineup…
125 Damian Moreno JR
133 Carter Dibert JR
141 Emilio Ysaguirre JR
149 Pierson Manville FR
157 Michael Kilic JR
165 Nicco Ruiz SO
174 Maxwell Wilner SR
184 Shay Addison JR
197 Jacob Meissner JR
285 David Szuba SR
