    Carroll….

    Agree with positive impact on team, he seems like a natural leader, social kid, and per interviews is a good communicator/pretty vocal. Love Daton but by nature, he isn’t very vocal or the kind to take charge. Having the only world class guy in the room be a quiet guy and kind of shy, the last...

    agreed, he RT Goodale’s tweet(Rutgers HC) about “more to come” in ref to their recruiting class, then quote tweeted it, per his Twitter interactions I agree it’s a done deal. Seemed he had it lined up before decommitting.

    Vito is out of the OTT, his dad said the cut to 57kg was just too much, that helps Daton’s odds.

    Olympic Team Trials

    An absolute gauntlet, it’s mind boggling tbrh. The top 5 and Vito, are all Olympic Medal Caliber IMO. Unless someone dominates and proves me wrong, feel like if you wrestle this bracket 10 times you have 4-5 different winners. Seeding will be big to Daton’s success IMO, you can say “if you’re...

    Carroll….

    Agree with Blair, it’s also hard to argue with him when his Transfer Portal info has been spot on thus far! 16lbs isn’t a ton being 210+lbs, he’s got a ton of time to do it correctly, & a staff that know what they’re doing. Which is part of it, the rest is on the kid himself & CC seems like a...

    165 Filled

    If he doesn’t transfer, think he’s obvi a redshirt, Hamiti only has 1 year anyway.

    Chase is one of Cormier’s guys, was his golden boy when Chase was in HS, think we’ve got a good shot if Hamiti’s plan is 174. And in relation to tampering/talking to wrestlers, multiple ppl in interviews have said coaches usually use a proxy aka wrestlers.

    So mainly focused on 165 and 174? Makes sense, what’s the plan with BT? You have any other portal insights for us Blair?!

    If Hughes can’t make 33, he would be a solid pickup, from what I heard he was neck and neck with Crookham.

    Have you seen anything from anyone credible? Mineo is 50/50 IMO, sometimes he throws stuff out just as hypothetical/rumors to drive engagement. I‘ve just seen people guessing, I think everyone assumes Michigan as PSU doesn’t need a 165 and Michigan proved last year they’ve got big $ for...

    Agree it’s not going to be close, it’s mind boggling how deep they are at the middleweights. There’s so many you forgot Facundo, who is NCAA Champ caliber. lol If all those seniors decided not to come back, they def would have a bit of a hole at the heavyweights but they do have Mirasola...

    Next Years Lineup

    Pretty close to my guess as well, 125 - Troy 133 - Hughes(Last I saw, Blair confirmed he’s going 33 a couple weeks back) 141- Jamison/Young 149 - Williams 157 - Travis/Portal 165 - Portal 174 - Portal/BT/Heeg, also is the Khaytiov guy ever going to be eligible? 184 - Plott 197 - CC 285 -...

    2024 NCAA Wrestling Championships Thread

    Izzak definitely got a terrible draw, would much rather have basically any other bloodround match at 165. To think that either Izzak or Hamiti won’t be an AA is wild.
