They’re both so stacked.

149 has Henson, SVN, Valencia, and Vega. 3 champs there plus SVN, a finalist and 2x AA.
157 has Robideau, Taylor, Kasak, and every AA from last season. Probably going to have 10-12 returning AA in this weight class plus at least a couple champs.

I hope Block stays 149 because it’s a bit easier, but hopefully they both go where they wrestle best.

Cash instead of credit cards, crypto et al fits his old school work ethic and image.

Thats true ryder earned the right to pick where he wants to go
No one, and I mean no one, has earned anything yet. This is a new year and if you haven't honed your skills then the best guy wrestles. If Ryder beats Williams, and everyone else in wrestle offs and direct competition then the spot is his. Not until that happens. That goes for every weight on our team.

If Williams is an English Major, then he will be just fine with Academic eligibility at Iowa.

Just curious, why got the portal? Or why not announce this sooner?

Could have been an issue with grades or conduct. As a coach, you should encourage your guy to give himself options if it didn’t go well for him either of the two categories at Iowa. That meant entering the portal just in case. He worked hard and did well in freestyle. Let’s hope he uses it as a springboard.

Sadly what happened last year still stings. Yes I support him and hope he kills it but I’m not going to act like last year didn’t happen…
I agree with not ignoring the last year. Comment made was just a cheap shot and unnecessary.

My God….
The angry azz is back? I must not have a strong enough father figure growing up, right? Or maybe I should have thrown more refs on their heads while watching nephew’s youth tournaments? Lol
