Hofstra Tourney Question

[RickB113]

So..with all this talk,is he eligible based on his past performances or not? More importantly,if he is granted 2 more years after this,will he as others have said,be a 22-24 year old 6th yr senior or graduate student wrestler?

Gravina is done after next season.

I don't have a Flo Wrestlng subscription ( only BTN Plus) so will follow via RU Wrestlng Twitter.

I notice free BTN is televising PSU Vs Lehigh at noon. I'll tune in to watch Suriano vs Cruz.

same here...Twitter universe this tourney.
Will grab BTN Plus for the midlands (Hopefully)
I have never been a big fan of flowrestling the times i subscribed.

Flowwrestling,when it first started out ( ie Martin doing commentary) was great.Soon afterwards,they charged you for every little thing.On top of it,the coverages where blurry,and sometimes didn't even work,and they would over bill you.I know they got the billing system under control,but coverage's are still 2nd rate.Hey,the guys gotta making a living and nothing in life is free,except bad advice.I like what this guy at True-Wrestling is doing.Great interviews and crystal clear coverage.

Check out the website tournaflex.com. It is showing mat assignments and it may also give live results.

Great advice. This works.

Not sure what you are saying, but you don't need to lose two years to injury. You have five years of eligibility, but in one of those years you are not allowed to compete at all. This is your redshirt year. Then, if you are hurt in one of the other 4 years in which you do compete, you can apply for a 6th year (replacement year) if:

• You have a documented injury that prevents you from competing;
• You did not compete at all in the second half of the season; and
• You did not compete in more than 30% of the possible competitions for the season.

Whether or not you use a redshirt year has no bearing on whether you qualify for a medical hardship waiver. The medical hardship is granted to replace one of the 4 years in which you do actually compete for your school.

Tell that to Ben Mauk...He couldn't prove that his frosh redshirt year at Wake was because of injury, so he was denied a 6th year

I had that problem last year, so decided to stick with BTN Plus only has a premium service. That said FloPro, twice as expensive, has a lot more wrestling content. BTN Plus covers all Big10 sports however.

BOOM!!! JVB pins 2 time NCAA Qualifier Roshkopf NC ST!!!!

Kraisser is tough.. Long and lean at 125 after being at 133 last year

Kraisser is tough.. Long and lean at 125 after being at 133 last year

Kraisser wins over Paetzall 7-1.Paetzall wrestled him real tough,just got out slicked.Brandon will be a force for this program,the next couple of years

I wanted to say that I went and read the articles about Mauk yesterday, and see what you are saying. They seemed to say you had to have a documented injury in the redshirt year as well. I am not seeing that in the rule, so I have no clarity on it, but you are right - that's what they said in his case.

I wonder where that is in the rules. Also, if that is true always, you would think they would always try to come up with a medical reason for every athlete that is redshirting each year -- just in case.

For Ritchie I assume its no problem, since he has a redshirt year available.

That's it right there... All they have to prove is that he lost the year to injury
