I do hope he does well.  To be clear, though, I never predicted where he would land.  I am, bluntly put, sick of seeing him get beat on in the B1G.

This obviously means he is going 174lbs, right?  Does he even beat out Otto?

Any chance Hamiti goes up and Maylor down?

Sorry, wasn’t insinuating that you were, and I completely agree with your assessment of him being more of a Big Ten 165 or going to a MAC school. I thought NIU might’ve been looking for a 165 with their AA transferring out, but it probably made financial sense for him to come back to Wisconsin for his masters.

Whether he can beat Otto is a good question… switching weights with Hamiti is another…

Also, it sounds like the Ferrari clan is passing up on Wisconsin with Angelo crossing it off his top 5 list (down to Iowa, Rutgers and VT). I was really hoping to see how the Wisconsin fanbase would handle them, given how divided they seem to be right now on the wiwrestling.com message board. Half the people think Bono needs to go because he can’t recruit Wisconsin and hasn’t outperformed Barry, while the other half thinks he’s great because he tweets and the dual atmosphere is more exciting.

Cosmetics are 80% of the sale and he has the fanbase that shows up believing.

That said, AWA isn't going to be sending their talent there for as long as Ben Askren is around.  Ever.  Askren would rather send his kids actually anywhere else.  So that itch there, as far as homegrown talent goes, won't be itched while Bono is there.

With how crappy he has looked due to the Burwick crap, your fanbase is going to be divided right now.

Juan Mora has followed Roger Kish from NDSU where he was a starter - to Oklahoma - where he will be a backup

[Idaho]

I'm assuming Buchanan is sticking around. Has his window closed for transferring due to a coaching change? Wasn't it 30 days?

That sounds about right.  Oklahoma still has a strong lineup, but a few question marks in the lower weights (125 in particular)

He lost 4-2 in OT to Heindselman.  He might not be the backup.

The 30 days is to enter the portal, not actually transfer, isn't it?

Kish is a good upper weight guy.  Buchanan would be good to stick around.

As much of a turdbiscuit as Jason Leonard is, I do want Kish to succeed.

One guy I thought might enter the portal from DIII - Jaritt Shinhoster.  Went 4-1 against D1 competition at Midlands including wins over Soldano and Antrassian

Yes I believe so.
Is it 30 days from the coach resigning or the new head coach being hired?  It’s well past 30 days since Roselli resigning but not since Kish hired. I’m thinking it’s since the resignation but I’m not 100%

I think both apply for 30 days.

Antonio Saldate at 133 is I'm the portal out of Cal Baptist.  He would fit nicely at 133 for Michigan State with brother/cousin(?) Chase

He would, yes.  I was hoping Hamden would go back down so he didn't look so damn undersized at 141 anymore, though.

Jett Strickenberger to WVU! A sneaky great pickup! NJCAA champion

Agree... I've been watching him for awhile. Needs a redshirt year, but definitely a good pick up that could make some noise down the road.

I wonder if any of the other Oklahoma wrestlers have been released from their NLI.

Would love for Zan to come home to Mizzou

Would that result in either him or Seltzer riding the bench for a post season or two?

Willie thinks Wisconsin, now, for Fugitt and Dylan Russo.

[nhs67]

Here is to hoping Mitch Moore selects Michigan...

<-- filled with Captain Morgan Black

Rodent, did you tell Willie that this is not acceptable? I do not accept.
