His next school will be his 5th, he’ll be a 4x AA with at least one nationals title on his resume but impossible to say it hasn’t been an absolute mess of a career.

Not sure if he plans on going the MMA route after college but I feel like he’s someone who’s going to always be in the news negatively.
Don’t forget AJ went to 3 (may be 4) high schools plus got thrown out of Blair. He should just transfer to UFC. At this point any D1 coach willing to take a chance on him should be fired immediately. AJ is the poster-boy for how to completely screw up what could have been an amazing career. Make a documentary about AJ and make it mandatory under NCAA rules that every high school athlete watch it.

I find it hilarious that Anthony (middle bro) is trying to find his 6th school. I think he's only had like 6 official college matches. Hard pass on that family.

133 , 141, 174 and 285 are all massive holes and little Harer got hurt recently so who knows if he wrestles next season. That’s half the line up a giant question mark, 1 surefire AA, 2 R12/R16 guys, and 2 NQ level guys. Could be a rough a dual year next season
Well thank God no one here cares about duals and only NCAA tournament bc even if we are a less competitive dual team, we are gonna score more next year barring any injuries.

We want as many qualifiers as possible who are capable of scoring points. One finalist will only get you into 20-21 range. To really shoot up we need a second AA. But we need more, right now Knox, Cotton, SCW and maybe the younger Harer are the only ones who look like they can score. Could that change sure, but we need to increase our odds.

IMO finishing in the #20-21 or lower range will be huge disappointment. When you're bringing in a surefire AA with no coaching required from our staff. That means Goodale and crew basically did nothing with the rest of the roster to improve.

Heard ferrari is leaning towards iowa and us. Rumor has it that stanich is jumping ship too. If thats the case , we might have a better chance of getting sontz to decomit. In a perfect world , if we could get braiden davis, sontz and possibly ferrari at heavyweight we would be lethal

At this point, he would be better suited to join and thrive in the WWE. He is the Freddie Mercury of college wrestling.

Iowa AD won’t let Ferrari in even though Brands wants him. Ohio state /nc state could be in play for him

We would essentially become wrestling’s version of the “Bad Boys Pistons”. An identity— Jersey tough, physical, ready to throw down at a moments notice..

Isiah Knox- Team leader of Jersay tough era
Joe Davis- Elite defender and clutch tummy taps
Bill Ferrari- Physical enforcer, known for splits
Dennis Harer- Top machine and top specialist
Rick SCW- 🗣️👂

You have to be joking? Iowa already tossed AJ once - you think they are going to take him this time? The only reason I could see Stanich leaving is now these guys are seeing how much money is being thrown around.

Eise 174. Jersey Robb 184 and Isiah Powe 141/149 all transferring to Oklahoma.

Powe would have been a huge get for us I hope we were at least looking at him and not going to rely on Nini/parkins/magro

OK must have gotten serious $$$ to spend I have to assume watching OKST kill it this season didn’t sit well with OK big D swingers.

Yea seems like theyve been trying to swing big the past 2 offseasons. It would appear that if Soldano get that’s med year it won’t be at Oklahoma. My guess is he ends up at Rider and probably AAs lol

Ridiculous that Ayers has to beg to keep his program afloat as he’s done everything right. Most Athletes simply don’t value education or development - they want the $$$. Simple solution - he should call Netflix, ABNB, and Uber and get their logos on the Stanford singlet, wrestling mat, and anywhere else that has visibility and value. What’s comical about this entire pay-to-play environment is that corporations are basically nowhere to be found. And that’s because they run real businesses and can’t simply hand out money to athletes in exchange for nothing.

Incredible. Stanford hangs on by a hair from getting dropped in 2020, is under funded and under resourced, yet pumps out more AA's this year alone (one NC included) than we have the last 5 years combined. Five years!! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Iowa would tie their mothers to the train tracks to get Ferrari.Regardless of his antics, he could make the drop to 197, and Kueter could go heavy.Unless Kueter has a redshirt, then Ferrari moves into heavyweight for his final year.Dont underestimate Brands Bros, their big donors, and the ADs morals. I think they will forgive his ridiculous splits and slight shove of a backup.

Not only was the bantering between these chuckle heads annoying and boring, they lacked basic knowledge of who started for Rutgers and trashed the hell out of the program overall in a "nice" way. Last time I will watch anything from them.

Ferrari not going back to 97.
