    April 1 Portal targets

    I wonder if he’d actually end up there with Rylan Seacrist coming in who will also be a career 125er. Was #1 all year at 113 won Ironman. Very talented but obviously small wrestling 113 as a senior.

    April 1 Portal targets

    PSU and Oklahoma State don’t have that mindset. You bring in the talent and let the weights figure themselves out. You don’t just pass on a talent like Zepeda if you have a chance at him.

    Portal April 1st

    Yeah because having much better partners and resources would definitely send someone backwards. Great take

    Portal April 1st

    Any word on the Larkins? They’d be perfect fits. I’d prefer Kyler over Knox despite losing to him at nationals. You see interesting results in the blood round especially from guys who lost in the quarters but I believe he majored and teched Knox during the year. I think 33 will clear and he’ll...

    I think majority of those 33’s will bump next year. I think forest definitely will and they’ll have Ramirez or the smaller raney possibly make the weight. I expect Davino to bump so they could have Bouzakis go 33 and than have kilkeary or munareto go at 25. Seidel looks big and they could move...

    Because his upside is a top 3 guy in the country

    25-deluca 33-knox 41-crookham 49- block/zepeda 57-block/zepeda 65-Schubert 74- Arnold 84- Ferrari 97- Luddington 285- Kueter unlikely but would be a much better line up than what we were expecting. I also wonder if it’s ever been considered having Ferrari go 74 and Arnold 84. Ferrari looks...

    Portal April 1st

    idk how the portal would work with incoming freshman or if you could still flip them at this point but someone worth a look in my opinion is Reagan Milheim. Could be a 65er and placed 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 2nd in PA. Lost to Melvin miller the last 2 years in the finals losing 5-4 or 4-3 this year. Then...

    Coaching Staff Next Year

    Loved Metcalf when he was at Iowa but would not be a fan if he gets the job. Can we please get someone from outside the program, Metcalf is a younger version of the brands that had less world level success. Seems like wishful thinking based off rumors and the decision making of the program in...

    Webster is a Medlin kid so I would expect him to stay with Medlin still on staff.

    Big Ten tournament thread

    What a weird way 157 was handled. Williams got basically every tough match and anytime there was an easier opponent VV got the call. Weird that it seems like he is being rewarded for winning against much easier opposition. The matches Williams kept close VV wouldn’t have even been competitive...

    Purdue Dual Thread

    Williams would be winning the same matches VV is winning and VV wouldn’t of even been close against the likes of pj duke and Antrelle Taylor

    Purdue Dual Thread

    Bad match, looked gassed early and let blaze take bad shots and just slowly bring the leg in. They’ll wrestle in the big ten semis though and winner of that will get to be on the other side of MM

    Purdue Dual Thread

    Seems like it be smart to get Williams some conference wins. Why is it that Voinovich gets all the “easier” matches. He's got Chattanooga, Utah Valley, Wisconsin, Michigan state, Purdue, and Ohio states backup while Williams has had every top 15 guy we’ve faced at 157

    Make Kemdawg an offer he cannot refuse

    Hiring Kemerer or Metcalf as the next hc would be a huge letdown and wouldn’t change a thing for the program in my opinion. What high level recruit is gonna choose them over Cael or Taylor. We need a big name who will attract the top level recruits. Would love Kemdawg as an assistant but...
