Humphreys 5 years vs vs O’Connor 6 yrs

[mookie]

Talk about a kick to the nuts.

[Spladle1989]

well we are definitely too deep at 157 sooooo (tongue planted in cheek)......

as a side note Mineo just corrected his previous tweet saying the extra year of eligibility has not yet been granted and is still under appeal.......

I thought he lost on that months ago.

[Spladle1989]

who knows....Mineo is at best right about 75% of the time.....but he does show his name added to portal on 8/22/23 so I would imagine it is still in process pending decision.....also didn't someone say Lehigh decided not to pursue extra year of eligibility not Humphrey's himself back then?

OK after a look back this is what I was thinking of:

I suppose it doesn't really matter but did the NCAA rule on it or did Lehigh?

So it's either that or maybe he appealed NCAA decision?

Interesting...the University of Pennsylvania has a tremendous assortment of graduate programs. They wrestle too.

Graduate students don't wrestle at Penn.

How do you give someone a scholly and pull them out of the portal without knowing if they can wrestle?

I would like to think Lehigh put an attorney on his appeal to try real hard to get him another year.

Sounds like It didn’t work hard enough that he is in the portal. Ouch!!!

If it's true, and he wrestles somewhere else for his 5th year this will go down as an epic failure for Lehigh.

Maybe just wants a change of scenery. Maybe looking for a certain grad degree we don’t have. We really have no idea what his motivations are so too soon to assign it any kind of name yet.

No upside or rationalization to that one; if Humphreys leaves and wrestles another year that's a catastrophic L for lehigh and one which says horrible things about the program.

The only alternative which makes sense would be if Humphreys has already lost his initial appeal so has decided to go get a grad degree elsewhere on the assumption he wont be wrestling. And in doing so entered the portal for the unlikely event that the decision is reversed. feels like a stretch though.
