Something tells me late season sensation Ryan & now Baylor will end up on top, esp. with a 12 pt. swing with the Tate transfer.

According to TSSAA, Tate would not be eligible this year. However, since he transfered to a boarding school, will these rules apply??? No sarcasm, I'm actually posing the question.

According to every variable of the rule I have read the answer is no. Of course we all know that none of that matters until his eligibility is actually submitted and the TSSAA makes a ruling on it.

Cole Holloway should fit into the Baylor line up around 138 to 145. I believe Robinson went 126 at Super 32 and could shift around depending on needs.

I though Holloway was unable to ever wrestle again because of nerve damage?

[TakedownArtist]

Is there a reason why so many people are avoiding discussing the elegibility of one of the top wrestlers in the state, who parted company with his state champion team, only to up and transfer several hundred miles away to a rival school on the other side of the state, the very next season?

 

Am I the only one who thinks this is odd? Not only odd that it happened, but odd that no one is really buzzing about it?

 

This is THE biggest story in TN High School wrestling this season, bar none!!! It seems that most are simply assuming he will be elegible, I guess.

Maybe people are avoiding a sensitive subject that very few people really know the real truth about. I have seen all kinds of speculation on here about it and have talked to some Baylor insiders and some Cbhs insiders and there are things that have been posted that are not true. I do not know the truth anymore than anyone else but after hearing from people on both sides its clear there is more to the story than most people think.

I totally agree, which is what surprises me. Human nature would dictate that this would be a hot subject, and highly speculated.

 

Not knowing the "truth" usually motivates discussion on this board, rather than suppress it.

 

You want truth? "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!" Sorry...couldn't help myself. Nevertheless, here it is.... A wrestler of a state championship team transfers to it's rival before the next season, and could single handedly swing the outcome of the TN. state dual championship if deemed eligible. These are the facts of the case. And they are undisputed. Sorry...sorry, I did it again. A Few Good Men...Great Movie!!!

If you get on this board with any sort of frequency then you would know that Tate's eligibility has been discussed, speculated about, or whatever else you want to call it, at length. It is probably best that the "speculation" be kept to a minimum until someone closer to the situation knows for sure whether or not he will be eligible. Until then, there is about a 10 page thread about it buried somewhere on here if you would like to get caught up. Its mostly arguing about (surprise, surprise) the differences between D1 vs D2.

[Sommers]

Many of us are limited on the facts, but from what I understand, and as much he hates the point swing... it appears even papa bear would probably go along with a TSSAA exception. There are always two sides and we are not hearing both. Hardship will override usual procedure is what my gut tells me. Tate wrestling his jr. year is good for the sport IMHO.

[Sommers]

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, mr. ghouse-sba or papa bear, or will you be double teaming with legman vs the ol soms in the near future?
