This would certainly seem to be a logical conclusion IMO.  Looks like she has deleted her entire account now

No, KJ is solid at Michigan. It just all stems from politics. She has a perspective and other people have their own perspectives, and in this current climate, of course that means it turns intolerant and nasty - from her and others. Better off just avoiding those topics, especially on Twitter.

Ethen Miller hasn’t announced his destination yet has he?  I thought Basch said he might do it yesterday 

Virginia Tech. Announced yesterday. There's a short discussion a couple pages back here.

[Idaho]

I see Michael Gioffre joined his brother Jack in the portal. Might be a good option for a mid-tier team looking to fill two holes. I imagine they are a package deal.

There were graphics floating around yesterday of him to VTech.

Why not...

Agree OkSt should try and make their RTC as strong as possible.

Assume Keck is going 86 and would compete with Zahid.

Back to portal news, because if I don't stick to the topic I'll be a hypocrite. 

Do we think any UNI guys follow Roper to OSU? I know he's well liked. Keckeisen loved him. Does he make the move to Stillwater to train RTC? 

OkST roster is pretty full so it might be tough to take a college guy.  I would think the Georgia guys might be the most inclined to follow Roper but not sure where they would fit.

Guys in their final year looking to start and guys buried on the depth chart.  Please tell me when Iowa has lost anyone on their roster they were expecting to get points from in the TnT era. I’ll wait.

So guys don't leave Iowa.. unless they're not going to be the starter.. but they don't count.

I see this, but you were the only comment.  Doesn’t seem very official?  Although looks like he also posted about Pinto and AJ before they were official, but those were not very well kept secrets

There was another one somewhere, too.  Jawn Cena is generally pretty accurate, but it isn't an official, as you said.

He's on campus for a visit, don't know if he's committed

What’s the rumors on where Stewart will go since he’s leaving VT? Seems odd he hasn’t announced a decision yet. Maybe his options are limited??

I can't imagine they would be. There's not many AA's floating around out there, even if it was two tournaments ago.

The extra baggage that is his dad seems to be the issue.  Also, less of an issue, but his brother might be a package deal, and he isn't near the 'get' that he is.

Stewart had more off-mat things go wrong last season than anybody not named Sasso.  None was his doing, mind you, but you have to respect that he is still a very young man with a dad that is essentially trying to live through him.  He wasn't even allowed to process most of it because his dad can't keep his damn mouth shut.

Wasn't aware of any of this. I don't have my nose to the ground that kind of stuff.

Glancing at the VT board, it seems TJ still has some supporters but his dad has likely ruined any chance for him to remain there via a matching offer from VT. Heard his mother was sick and hope she recovers but TJ would likely be better off at a distant school so he can be his own man.

FWIW Pyle released one of his monologues that take 8 minutes to say something that could be said in 1  today and he said his guess was that Miller was going to Iowa State

I don't think he goes to Iowa State.  Not with the log jam they have there.  He wouldn't even start, unless he went up to 165lbs.  Then he has Riggins or Euton to contend with - which is no gimme.

Big Stew is a good guy and means well, but I do feel he may be guiding TJ out of a good situation and blaming the VT room for a disappointing year when it was not their fault. He'll have opportunities but not sure if any of them will be better than VT.

I agree with everything you've said, fwiw.  If he were able to just chill TF out, Stewart would spend the next two years competing for high AA honors at VTech and put this last season behind him.
