Different types of Oranges, though.

Embiid would be like Steveson transferring in.  You are going to take the 35/15/2 every night.

Heinselman is like an aging Lance Stephenson transferring in.  He just sucks - SO BAD.  Add in that he has the personality of a wet, moldy tomato and you have all signs pointing to LAME.

Don't get me wrong... I am still going to root for him over anyone not in a Michigander (includes MSU/CMU... probably Olivet/Alma/GVSU/MCC/Adrian,etc. as well) singlet this year.

Those the rules.

I think the tomato might have been angry being compared to H....

I don't see any true freshman listed, but he is listed as a student.

Word on the street Vince Bouzakis is de-committing from OSU.

I'm sure it's not all sunshine and rainbows between the Bouzakis' and OSU staff. In order to be the man, you gotta beat the man, and that man is Ben Davino right now. Sorry Nic, looking like 133 may be Davino's weight for the foreseeable future.

I thought word on the street was that Davino was redshirting and Bouzakis was starting. Maybe a different street?

I think the de-commitment with Vince says a lot. 

I know TR and Nic Bouzakis became very close, in large part due to Tom losing a son and Nic losing a brother so the bond there speaks for itself. I'm sure it always will be, but i'm looking at the bigger picture and if Davino is the guy, can't blame Nic to possibly want to follow baby bro elsewhere.

Davino has 5 events he can compete in until the decide to RS him?

lets see how this plays out , but agree he could be the man @133

Will they be going somewhere as a family? Iowa has a decent women's program.

Okie State is investing in their women's program as well. Just hired Izaak Olejnik as HC and Gas Tank Gary as AC.

Ayala at 133 for the Hawkeyes and Iowa has both Voinovich bros in the waiting; don't think Iowa City is in the cards. Another forum mentioned Vince interested in Lehigh.

Club program, correct?

Yes. But intentions of transitioning to an NCAA sport in the future. I know that's not concrete but hiring two full time coaches speaks volumes imo. Not too many club teams have two paid coaches.

Ayala has one year after this one, or did he come in during Covid?

Yes, I can see that happening.  I will say the relative youth and inexperience of the two coaches is a concern.

Not necessarily. Bouzakis lost 5-3, days after competing overseas @ U23's.  Tom Ryan isn't making any decision based off of that intel...

you are correct. One year. He came in the year after the COVID freebie (2022).

Some people only peruse one or two BBS... give them a break.  It isn't their fault.
