I will say, what full circle moment it would be if he went back to OSU and won 3 more title to close out his career as a 4xer all for OSU. 

He already lost a year. So 2 more shots(which is wild enough).

No way he has 3 more years.

According to WrestleStat, he wrestled in 2021 (free year), then medical in 2022, then RS in 2023, then Olyshirt in 2024, then this year he used his first year of eligibility.

No, the expression "major curveball" infers something unexpected happens. So... like AJ Ferrari gives Ted Talk on consent or Jimmy creates thought provoking thread. 

This...this would not qualify as a curveball so much as a...'how many years is he getting,' type situation?

... maybe he's going to take a two year Morman Mission?

His car accident was in late January, I can't imagine he'll get a medical hardship for that year.

Yea I'm not affiliated with the NCAA in anyway. I just know what WrestleStat reported.

Have to imagine the Mirasola brothers might be on their way out.

Bono to the unemployment line, Askren and Mirasolas to Wisconsin?

[VakAttack]

 

Cold blooded!

 

[poorwrestler]

Ferrari to Penn state makes sense if he wants to go heavyweight. The Mirasola’s are probably better suited for 184/197 anyways.

Sounds like typical Minnow BS. 

I thought he was kicked out of OSU?  Not just off the wrestling team, but the University?

PSU paying AJ to come in and challenge Barr with Starocci in his corner is the stuff realty TV producers dream about.

Willie did say there was a major curveball. This would certainly fit that definition.

Yep, the programs and obligations OBiden left are going to be tough to control. Every cut Trump tries to make the leftist are fighting tooth and nail to FORCE Trump to spend. The leftist hate Trump so much they had rather us go further in debt than see Trump succeed. Downsizing the govt and cuts to NGOs are driving the leftist nuts. Why? Are ALL govt jobs so essential not even one can be eliminated? Absolutely zero fraud in any govt agency? No corruption anywhere? Every govt expenditure is so important it can not be curtailed in the slightest? We all know "tax and spend" is the mantra of one party. I will let you guess which one.

Are you trying to get me to change my avatar?

Agree it would be a curveball, but that doesn't mean this is correct.  AJ probably has the most bad blood with the PSU wrestlers and the OSU administration.  Seems like the Iowa AD changing her tune would be more likely.

Med shirts are typically granted after all other eligibility is exhausted, so fair to guess the WS is guessing.

By rule Ferrari does not qualify for a med shirt. But what use have we for eligibility rules at this point?

AJ and Carter in a corner "training" with each other? Sign me up.

In general these type of things get blown out of proportion.  Angelo was talking about how he was wrestling with Nickal.  Plus, Nickal is a part of ATT with Masvidal who also hangs with AJ.  The Mocco boys were in a suite with Nickal during the tournament and Nickal was down in Florida training at Coconut Creek. 

The animosity between these wrestlers is more fantasy than reality in most cases

AJ going to PSU would be awesome.

Now that's a curve ball...unless he starts reading the History of the Mormons and he doesn't get past the part where they frown upon harems of young child brides and he thinks Brinham Young is an order rather than a person...because I could definitely see the latter being possible...if not probably in that scenario.

He was auditioning during his ESPN interviews at the NCAAs. Saw a gap left by Brooks, applied on national TV.

Max...maybe. Ben is a non-starter from everything I've heard. I'm not in the know, but...I know people in the know who know and they're reliable. And yes, I know that sounds very much like 'my sisters, cousins, uncles, new GFs son said,' but it's really just MY very good friend, his former teammate and close friend, he's closely with McIntosh. 

They don't want Ben, Ben is making more and has more freedom running AWA. 

Max is less outspoken. They used to joke about how Max was very neat, did his homework early, Ben was messy, kinda did his homework later. I'm making a jump there, I get that, but also seems like the type of mentality you need from a HC. 

 

Oh...and he's a National Champ who could bring Ben in to help with the RTC as that IS one of the things he's said he wants to do. Now you get Parker, Keegan, Hopke and some of those guys going to the RTC and...that could build on itself. Not NLWC like, but...it'd be good.

But I doubt it. But THAT is how you rebuild Wisconsin and do it while appeasing Askren without having Ben run the program(but still getting a good amount of credit for it...which would be justified).

I'm guessing with the assault claim dropped, he would be eligible to come back to school. 

I know a Badger Football player who was kicked out after an accusation(one that went to trial and was an egregiously bad prosecution and really messed up as just the most cursory investigation disproved the bulk of their case, but that's a longer story). Anyway, after the trial, he was let back in. And then he sued the hell outta the school and they settled.

They're pretty big for '84 at this point. Probably both '97, but if they want to Wrestle together, they almost certainly need to leave. Though...you would think Connor has closed the gap on Barr. There's a bigger learning curve for a True Freshmen vs a RS Freshmen. 

It almost certainly won't happen, but that'd be pretty cool, huh? One Freshmen knocks a returning runner up out of the lineup? And then Barr has to go 184 and the two rivals have to Wrestle off for the spot? 

[flyingcement]

Ethan Miller in the portal - I could see him fitting at Missouri at 149 or Iowa at 157

I don’t see either Mirasola closing the gap on Barr ever.
