Plott following McNeil I guess.

Lachlan McNeil would have to be certified, batshit crazy to transfer from UNC to OSU.

Doesn’t that show the most recent follows first though?   So basically he just did it, which does seem a little questionable, and also funny that he did it before Scott has even been announced.

Jordan sees Spratley coming in after he committed and Witcraft/Mastro still there.  Oklahoma would be a perfect fit for him. 

Looks like Oklahoma was the right fit for him.

You probably know better than I. I'm not hip to how X or Twitter works.

Pretty sure that is the case for X/twitter at least, but that screenshot looks like Instagram which I don’t have

Kleuver was posting during the end of last year - that it is easy to see who is going to transfer a couple months ahead of time, by tracking new follows on social media by coaching staff of those teams considered to be "transfer portal predators"

“John Smith announced today”

So basically, he likely was the one making the demands that everyone keep their mouth shut

[Jason Bryant]

Guys, you do know that some places wait until an actual contract is signed before putting out an official release. Most of the time, it’s HR and paperwork that’s the hold up.

See above. It ain't real until it's real. And there are steps between accepting a job and finalizing an employment contract. Administration runs the show when it comes to the timing of highly visible public announcements. I know coaches usually are a catch-all for blame but in this case it's literally how the organization works. Heck the coaches' excitement is probably what leaked the news in the first place.

The school didn’t have to officially announce it right away but I don’t see why they needed to demand retractions from reporters about it

Decent discussion about this on FRL today.  Basically they found old salaries for Espo and Scott and several years back Espo was making a higher salary than Scott, so he could have actually gotten a pay increase despite the increase in title (and going to a lower COL area).

Consensus was he’s not guaranteed the job when Smith leaves, but it gives him a leg up.  They didn’t really get too much into what they thought the timeline for Smith leaving was, but did point out that he’s “only” 58, so isn’t really THAT old.

Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night, bud.

OSU still has some work to get rid of the toxicity the Focus twins left on the program.

They will be fine.  Just not right now.

Where did I ever say he was beating any of them?

Also, doesn't Jordan have high school shit left to do?  Why are you dogging on a 16 year old?

Discovered two matches on OSUs 23/24 schedule, both at Stillwater:  Lehigh on Dec. 8 and Iowa State Jan. 28.   

[Idaho]

I agree

So Plott at 184?  Is Wittlake done or are they swapping weight classes?

Today's fresh released D1 rankings for Intermat here.  184 #4 is Plott.

Interesting... if Plott is a full sized 184 he would be on a short list of title contenders with Keck, Truax, Munoz... I do not foresee him breaking into the top 3 at 174 with Starr, Foca & Lewis so this might be the best move for him. Would have to think that Wittlake would go down to 174 if Plott goes up. Wittlake would be in the AA mix at 174.

This doubly tells us tuat Plott has Olympic aspirations and intends to go 86 KG as well as he is winning in the room.
