If he’s able, which wouldn’t shock me, that would be best case scenario for them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Caliendo is very lean, yet massive... similar to Deakin it seems. He was lighter than every Iowa 157lber at the beginning of the season for Alphas. "I know actually nothing.

He is either wrestling hurt or lost some drive/HEW. He was like 2 different wrestlers at nats. I don't think he does either. Just throwing out ideas, really. They might not even be realistic options.

Do they leave programs that they seem to love? i don’t see Talshahar leaving. Coming off medical redshirt at a premium school with a so-so record and so-so hit list. I mean what’s his market? Where will he go and be the starter that would give and be a better situation? Taye to Michigan makes sense though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbone Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 As a wrestling fan, Bailey and Little worry me the most. I don't see how we can get schools to add wrestling if their guys are going to transfer as soon as they become AAs. BUT, if you are those two and you are going to get $100K+/year to wrestle for a big school, its a personal decision that a lot people will take. I hope it doesn't happen but won't be shocked if it does. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1032004 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Could be wrong, but wasn’t Bailey in particular pretty high on the P4P list? I imagine he had offers from bigger schools to begin with, I’m sure there’s a reason he chose Little Rock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren’t there certain commitments that come with attending one of those? Or am I imagining that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The answer to your first question is yes but as has already been mentioned it is complicated and it depends on how long you have been in the academy. Since Hendrickson has been in for four years I would think he would be eligible to transfer elsewhere but as has also already been mentioned he is done with college wrestling. He will likely graduate from the Air Force academy and serve in the Air Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I think when you attend an academy there comes a point, I think year two, or three, where the cadet has to choose if they are going to stay at the academy for the full 4 years and receive the free education, and if so, they have to commit to 4 years (I think) after they graduate to stay in the military....or something similar to that. My buddies daughter went to the naval academy for soccer and she was close to not going all 4 years because of the commitment after she was done with school, but she ended up staying and is now a captain on a ship. Oh...and If she didn't agree to stay in the navy after school she would have had to pay back the tuition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it ruffles feathers along the way, but it has helped them accrue a very serious contingent of olympians at their RTC, and having a solid RTC is kinda the backbone of any real college program at this point. If your college guys don't have the opportunity to get whooped up on by olympians, they won't be towards the top of the NCAA ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 In other news, I am hoping that it is a package deal to include Amos as well. I think Amos at HWT would be a good thing.

killdozer Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 On 3/23/2024 at 3:45 PM, Gus said: The hawks are going to be circling Bailey and Little from Little Rock. I hope they both stay and help Erisman build that program. They already had as of Saturday via back channel. I hope Bailey and Little stay. Here are some reasons why. 1. I'm sure Little Rock can get some NIL money together. But it won't match Iowa and it is tough to turn down huge money. 2. In Little Rock they will be LEGENDS. They will be known as the two that brought the program to National prominence the first AA's (and maybe 3 more each). Flag bearers for the program. They can be the first National Champions for the school. They can be honored every time they step on campus after graduation. Inducted in the school's hall of fame. They can help build something great or just be another guy in Iowa City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
