He’s switching it over to Cross State Hammers from what his nephew told me. His boys still wrestle for Bradford I’m pretty sure

There are reports of a 6 figure NIL deal.
AJ had to pledge a 6 figure donation to MSU's cooperative, to get them to buckle.

Anthony gave a verbal to Morgan st last year before he went to Campbell. Also remember Novogratz gave the $ to start the program
Does this make Morgan State a trophy threat? 
Didn’t @mrfasttwitch say a few weeks ago that he and his brother would be together on the same team, or something like that?
Here was his quote:
“There were a lot of schools that reached out, but I’ll be committing in the next couple weeks,” Ferrari said. “Me and my brother, we’re trying to go to the same school. It’s very hard, but I really do want to go wrestle with my brothers, so we’ll see what happens. Too early to say, but definitely in the next couple weeks we’ll definitely commit.”
AJ Ferrari says commitment coming in a couple weeks, likely to wrestle at 197 - Yahoo Sports

The transcripts for these two guys must look like the NYC Subway map. Granted, the NCAA‘s APR is a joke that focuses on total credit, not actual progression towards a degree.
How many schools have they been enrolled in?
Anthony: OkSt, Iowa?, LIU, Campbell, and now Morgan St.
A.J.: OkSt, Iowa?, CSB, tried UNC, Nebraska, and now ???

Anthony has been on roster at LIU Campbell and now Morgan st when school starts. Anthony was enrolled at Iowa but never on roster.
AJ was on roster at Oklahoma st Bakersfield Nebraska. He was also enrolled at those 3
Progress towards degree is still a thing 20,40,60 and 80. Being able the stay eligible academically isn't easy when going to 3 or 4 universities it takes a work ethic

While the NCAA calls it Academic Progression Rate, I have yet to find anything to confirm that it has anything to do with progression to a degree.
Long story short, the NCAA doesn’t care if they are making actual progress towards a degree, only if a school is willing to let them enroll and they don’t flunk out.
Not true you must pass a certain amount of credits per year to remain eligible and be a full time student. Grad students can have less then 12. I know athletes currently in summer school and they need 3 or 6 credits to be eligible next year
Passing x credits and being enrolled in x credits is not the same as progress to a degree.
When a normal student transfers from one school to another, even if the new school has the same major, not all of the credits will count at the new school. Also, every college that I know of requires a minimum number of credits that must be taken at that school in order to get a degree. At Penn State, a minimum of 36 of your last 60 credits must be taken at Penn State in order to get a Penn State degree.
Academic eligibility by NCAA standards is a joke. When was the
last time you heard of an athlete being ruled academically ineligible? My theory is that when a player is on the verge of being academically ineligible, they are preemptively dismissed for violating team rules so it only counts as one point against the APR.
I know a few who wont be eligible 1st semester unless they pass summer school classes. It happens it's just not news.
I wasn't saying theyre the same exactly but you must pass classes and be a full time student taking 12 credits a semester. You're acting like guys don't have to pass classes which isn't true at all. Could the standards be tougher sure but let's not act like they don't have any
Where did I say that they didn’t have to pass classes? The NCAA calls their main academic standard Academic Progress Report. Academic progress towards what? If you’re not progressing towards a degree, what is the point of being in school? With the proliferation of multiple transfers without a degree across all sports, there is no way that some/many/most/all of these athletes are actually making progress to a degree. The schools that keep on accepting them are part of the problem.
With transfer madness it is all but impossible to even define what "progress towards a degree" is, let alone to measure it for each individual player. There are guys who are in their 6th,7th, and even 8th years of eligibility, check what degrees they have - but magically they've never been academically ineligible. Someone is sniffing glue if they think most of these football and basketball players - I suspect it's quite a bit different in non-revenue sports - making high 6-figures and low 7-figures are actively participating as students. It wasn't the case when I was playing ball 25yrs ago and it is even less so today.
Guys are in grad school at that point and those rules are different. Guys aren't in school 6 years and have eligibility without a degree .
Only if they all have concealed carry permitsDoes this make Morgan State a trophy threat?
Might not be money for new tats. It was reported that his NIL package was a 3 pack of girls' panties and a gallon of bleach
I guess running into the stands to fistfight finally caught up with him.

Iowa didn't have enough harnesses and braces for both Crookham and Amato.
Crookham is one of the reasons they don't have the money for Amato. They paid two guys to leave the portal and are having serious financial issues.
That's all you could come up with
you can't even make up a good one. If Iowa is having $ problems wrestling is in trouble 
good thing it's not trueThe cesspool in fine form:

Is Amato the guy who struggles to score points? Or is that one of the other commits.

That’s Angelo Ferrari.
Every program makes decisions on athletes based on financial situations. Penn State's lost wrestlers they wanted over money, OkSt has lost wrestlers and they have a billionaire donor.That's all you could come up with
There's a financial arms race going on right now and one school has muskets.
