Flo wrestling podcast has been conversing about everyone coming back next year. Is this the case? Kemmer would be going into his 40's (joke).
2022
- Thread starter squeezebox
- Start date
It's been talked about here many times and they've all confirmed they'll be back, which includes Kemerer and Eierman.
Iowa may have the oldest average age of any team in history next season lol maybe grant leeth can sign up for one more season somehow and start at 149?
Eierman back is awesome but I think a wrestler should only be able to participate in 4 national championship tournaments. This is gonna mess up all the record books.
Asterisk and footnote, that's all you need.
You think Kem will be old? Imagine the PSU guys who gray shirt multiple years.
Pretty certain Kem AND Eireman will be older than any senior Caels ever coached next season and I don’t care nor think it’s any reason for criticism of either program.
No It isnt, but Mark Hall was no spring chicken and neither is Mason Manville and he'll never see the lineup. Cassar had to be up there too. That's aside from the COVID year for Kem and Eireman, which is obviously part of this.
If you've got eligibility, all's fair, so no biggie. Them's the rules.
All that said, F Penn State.
Well they are still redshirt freshman. Not doing the math, but I'd assume by the time they are seniors they'll be quite old considering they'll have gray shirt, redshirt, and COVID shirt.
Not a criticism, just relevant to the conversation.
Great point, because we have never recovered from the era before freshmen were eligible and wrestlers went from being able to participate in 3 NCAA tournaments to 4. Life has been an absolute wreck ever since.

Mark Hall would’ve been 23 last March and was held back a year while still in HS. Cassar was 23 when he won his. Not sure on Manville, but as you pointed out, his age is pretty irrelevant here.
Probably referring to Matt Brown as @UndercoverHawk pointed out above. I believe he was 27 as a senior.
@SDHN2013 You’ve been Spoonered!
Yes I believe so. Would've to look to make sure but I believe was RS then 2 year mission and then wrestled 4 years. I remember he graduated young when he was being recruited

In that case, in 2023 Micic could be wrestling guys who were in 5th grade when he was already in college. 😄
Is this assuming the olympics don't happen this year? Or will guys be eligible for Oly RS even if the games do happen
Yeah, assuming a second postponement, he would get a 9th year. That is why I prefaced “Could be another Olympic RS.” I don’t believe they will cancel but they may postpone again. The IOC indicated that they would cancel rather than postpone again but several countries have hinted that they know that Tokyo can’t really afford to take that kind of financial hit.
Have you seen how little McHenry was when he wrestled Heinselman of Ohio State? He might need until 2027 to be a full size 125
Yes which is what made me think of him. Was hoping he's big enough someday because he has the skills
