Iowa, Mich and PSU all had 30-40% of starting lineup and Iowa’s was mainly due to the gambling issue. They “may” have 20-30% this year, but doubt they get that many.

Not sure I'd consider this as "shoring up a hole". I appreciate your opinion, but I will go with Coach Austin O'Connor's.

In the event of a large Crocnado, who do you want fighting by your side? Danny Nini or Levi Haines? I wouldn't risk my life or the lives of my family on somebody with, as far as we know, zero experience with large reptiles. I would rather fight side by side with the guy who laid on top of a gator as comfortable as a six-year old watching Saturday morning cartoons. 1

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. As of now PSU is already projected to start 3 transfers and Michigan 2, with Michigan in particular likely looking for more 1

He could be a star of a smaller MAC program though. Maybe ACC? Him leaving OK State probably wasn't a good idea but if he were to go to a ACC team, Pitt, Duke, Stanford? Just want the best. Still has a lot of potential. 1
killdozer Posted May 3 Posted May 3 @flyingcement don't mean to be a stickler but it is Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville so it is SIU-E not SIEU (or SIUE if you don't like hyphens). There is also Southern Illinois University - Carbondale and that is SIUC (or SIU-C if you are a big fan of hyphens). 1 1

Just want the best. Still has a lot of potential. ACC is P4P the 2nd toughest conference in D1 NCAA wrestling. He has a better shot at success in the B12 (more bottom feeders there) - just my opinion. That said, a lot of his potential destination(s) as well as weight will be dependent on his future aspirations. He has been competing at 70 KG for Serbia internationally. They don't typically do 'off' weights for Senior level. That means he needs to head towards 65 KG (~143.3lbs) or 74 KG (~163.1lbs). Him to 141 or 157 would make sense for either of those... he could also stay 149, but he would need to head to 65 KG after that - were that the goal. All this said, I know I said ACC was more difficult, but North Carolina makes sense for him. There are many folks there with senior level aspirations. Michigan makes sense... same thing. He would immediately compete for a starting spot at 149lbs... or perhaps 141lbs and 'allow' Lemley to redshirt. I can't think of (m)any MAC programs that have substantial international presence.

On the flip side, if you have nobody at a weight, then someone transfers in, I guess you are technically "filling a hole".... then, what you are filling the hole with becomes the question. 1 Sponsored by INTERMAT

Worth pointing out that he's not the first Illini with gator experience. Pat Quirk wrastled gators and finished 2nd at NCAA. He did have a little trouble with Munoz but thats a different animal. Think of the NIL coin Quirk could earn today. 1 2BPE 11/17/24 SMC

Camel Wrestling Fan Posted May 3 Posted May 3 15 hours ago, nhs67 said: From what I am hearing on the ground is he is homesick, but it isn't a guarantee he even leaves (think Slav). Homesick, to me, tells me Oregon State or somewhere with friends, such as Cal Poly or Purdue. I also think I had read somewhere that both ASU and North Carolina were considerations too, but I haven't heard any of that first hand. As long as he succeeds wherever ge goes, I am happy I would love to see him at Campbell U. Their 184 graduated and they have a very solid team returning.
