Anybody have that one free year that they can't use at their current institution (Ivy) or just someone who it makes sense to make a move?

For me, and I said this last year, I want to see Gilcher head somewhere else than Indiana.  I was hoping it would be Michigan this year, to wrestle with his brother, but I don't think he starts at Michigan if he heads there next year.  Also, not sure Dylan starts at Michigan next year, either.  Catrabone is a stud... like a mini-Rogotzke without the illegal slams.

Now, were Dylan to head to Indiana (which I am told that Indiana and Michigan were has final two), I could get to see them both give it a go.  I just don't know what weight the bigger Gilcher goes, because Lillard is holding down 165lbs (unless Lillard heads up/down).  What school would want/need their services?  A school like Buffalo (which has connections to Michigan via a former wrestler on their coaching staff - Freeman)?

Josh Saunders (Cornell) might be able to head elsewhere (North Carolina?) or Gregor Diakomihalis (to Virginia Tech)?

Maximus Hale of Penn might be looking to head elsewhere (Michigan needs a 184lber yeah?)?  Composito was in the same class as Hale, so he might need to head elsewhere.

Both Josh Saunders and Greg Diakomihalis will be back at Cornell next year and both are eligible to wrestle for Cornell

Few things that make sense about Michigan:
1) Good RTC for his freestyle aspirations.  He would be one of many non-US team members 
2) Ann Arbor is only five hour drive from his hometown (if that matters at all to him)
3) Michigan is considered to be at a similar caliber of education compared to his current institution North Carolina
4) Michigan has demonstrated powers of persuasion in the past (deep NIL pockets?) and has utilized the portal heavily
5) With all due respect to Gilcher, McNeil can slide in as a starter at 149 without having to shift the rest of the lineup around.

Brayden and Zach beat on Merrill like he’s a redheaded stepchild! 

This would not be how I would imagine these matchups going.

Well we know he will follow in dad's foot steps and transfer to OSU, might as well get the hat now.

Now we need Karl Konrad to get picked up by Minnesota.

Two years with Taylor and Hendrickson will go a heck of a lot farther than 5 years in the Iowa room. With Brandvold (and to a lesser extent Gable) gone from Minny, I don't understand why every blue chip big in the country isn't lining up to waive any and all NIL deals for the chance to be in Stillwater or State College. They are where olympic dreams will be made.

Good.  In a way they fit each other quite well.

Has it been confirmed that Hendrickson will continue wrestling? At some point, he owes the Air Force some service.

We'd take him back, some fans may not be happy with it but a humbled TJ with a chip on his shoulder after realizing he's not a blue chip recruit anymore might be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Re: Mike Mocco, Should I do the thing where I go to the Penn State board and grab the dumbest posts talking crap about Mocco and then extrapolate it to the entire fanbase?  Because there's a couple of doozies so far.

You would do me the great favor by sparing me a trip over there at least. What are some of the golden examples?

Yes, he's in the WCAP through 2028 and then he'll serve after that

He remains active duty, but he will owe some number of years after he's finished with WCAP
