That being said I cannot see Tom Ryan recruiting AJ and he seems very loyal to his guys, so I also do not see him throwing Geog aside. Nick Tavanello would like a word

Tavanello could have played football, wanted to wrestle and the way I hear things, they knew he wanted to move to heavyweight. He had a couple decent years and had promise. That’s the game though I guess

If you do not change, you will be left behind. In this portal world, top teams do and should recruit from other college teams FIRST. A proven college wrestler is worth more than taking a chance on high school wrestler. A small handful of hs guys are sure fire outstanding college wrestlers, but a returning AA level at a "lesser" program has a high degree certainty.

I think the comment you’re replying to is more about Ferrari specifically and not getting guys from the portal. Ryan has acknowledged he has tried to get guys from the portal.

Le duke Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Imagine if he came back and won it all at 174lbs, beating O'Toole and Haines in the process.It’s a nice thought but a 174lber Haines would break him in half and O’Toole is a better version of Sasso. Better at everything, and not nearly as counter-dependent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1

Hell, I don't know if Haines gets the nod over Facundo at this point. I know it was a recently ~157lb Haines vs a Facundo that had acclimated to ~163lbs for the MFS season, but Facundo didn't beat him with Parterre. Using the season to bulk in to 174lbs on a Redshirt might be what the doctor ordered for him, as it were. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

I know the cut was difficult for Haines and as of late it seems like over cutting is a bad thing. Haines seemed so strong at 157 and so hard to get out of position that I wonder if it's actually the perfect weight for him and that he may struggle as he moves up. When I say struggle, I don't mean he won't be a top guy I just mean he may not be THE guy.
