Looks like Reineri’s quest to wrestle for ISU has ended.

 

[Joeylee]

figured the new 5 for 5 would essentially kill any chance he had. looks like they saw that too

 

[G-imJustafan]

its a shame he never got the chance to lace them up but time to move forward

 

[CyDawg23]

I guess there won’t be a rematch with Jax.

Man this stinks for Ortega. He truly deserved at least 1 year. Great young man regardless and he will for sure continue to help out the guys in the room.

It was death by a thousand paper cuts with this thing. Rienieri was going to win, then the NCAA appeals, and on and on with no end in sight.

He’s just such a great kid, feel bad for him.

 

[CycloneCarl5]

Is he gonna start entering in any opens or anything?

 

[RedbirdYonger200]

is this just because of the Cuba school? If so how the hell is Ono eligible at Penn State he was taking classes at some college in Japan

I believe age is the factor. He's 28.

In this case, Ech probably shouldn't be eligible next year as he will be 27

Wouldn't Ech grandfathered in though? Ortega would be a new NCAA athlete I think.

 

[Joeylee]

ech would get to chose between new rules and old and would obviously pick old

Yep, didn't think about that

Don’t waivers occur after regular eligibility is over?

 

[Diehardisu6988]

Sucks he didn’t get eligibility. Even if he got a year, specifically 2023-24, David’s senior year. Would’ve been so special.

Sad . Such a shame as he is such a good teammate and person.

Ono only has 1 year because he went to college and wrestled for 3 years in Japan and then RS this past year.

Though it sucks, this is better for college sports

Waivers need to be applied for by July 1 according to the NCAA release
