Actually Stewart’s daddy just posted in the VT forum it’s Fishback that’s entering the portal. He is a drama queen but maybe be right though. Dude actually posted on the VT forum how many offers TJ had. Someone please sign TJ and take his dad too. Please!!!

I get your thinking on this, but isn't that sort of access/information the exact type of rumor cycle we love to get?  Feel how you want about him, but at least we're hearing something!

He's still posting on there? I'll have to give it a look. Maybe CP is onto something... if he were 100% gone why would he be on the VT boards?

Yes he is. It’s very odd for a dad to post on behalf of his son. I mean it’s really not a big deal for general conversations but to do that while his son is in the portal, essentially bragging about his offers is pretty immature and petty. He is not well liked by the staff and some of the regular VT posters.

With McNeil going to U of M I’m not sure Ohio St will get any transfers from the 

portal whilst having 7-8 wrestlers enter it. Also have a very small recruiting class coming in. 

I think the Bucks had 10 enter the portal, zero transfers coming in so far...still hear Chittum is in the works but nothing official...McNeil woulda been big...

[poorwrestler]

I hope PK gets addes to the staff rather than follow, personally.

I know this is from a few days ago, but I think there’s a significant chance Keck ends up with the gopher RTC. I think location is a big factor as he wants to be close to home while also driving distance to AWA camps that he will help at, and I think practice partners will be a big factor. McEnelly, Nelson, Hilger, Zillmer, Kemerer, Owen Webster etc. as well as some AWA guys around his weight he’s already close with like Millard, Riddle and Whiting.

Crossing my fingers. Would be a loaded room at 174+.

I thought he stopped posting mid-year after TJ was having a rough go of it ...well at least he announced he would stop posting haha

Fishback in the portal?

Yeah, says five offers - three with already established 184lbers.

Going to guess Fishback took one of those spots up as well. TJ back to VT and everybody (besides his dad) being happy with it just makes too much sense.

The VT forum days Singleton is HUGE for 174 and was going up?  I call BS.  First year there and he wasn't jacked or cut by any real means.

I’m pretty confident Caleb Fish cannot go Back in to the portal and is out of eligibility. Not sure what you guys are smokin.

I was hoping for this too.  Askren said that AWA will be opening an RTC soon though, so that may be a more likely club for PK.

Fishback is from Ohio, so with OSU losing out at 184, maybe this is their effort.

10 from columbus enter the transfer portal, 0 from the portal going to tosu (chittum still hasnt said anything)

 

at this point i'd pick any other d1 program EXCEPT ohio state.

I thought Fishback was from Illinois, and moved to Ohio for high school?  Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Could be. I only knew his HS days.

I’m going to open a can of worms and ask. At what point in a child’s life do they have to move somewhere to be considered “from” there?

Rodent, I’m going to have to ask you to stop poo-pooing on my happy thoughts. Thank you.

Hadn't heard that. Do you remember where he said that?

Yeah, there was a lull in his postings once the season started, mainly due to TJ’s results were contradictory to his predictions. His daddy threw a lot of shade on the Mizzou kid before the match and TJ got majored. He also said something to the effect that TJ was the only person in his way from beating everyone. With a 500 winning record and being the only hokie to not qualify for the NCAA’s, those comments aged horribly

So did Fishback just get offered a big bag of cash or something? He didn't seem unhappy at NC State when I'd see him during duals, or other events...

Or is there a transfer 184 coming in that he didn't think he could beat maybe?

Michigan's offer wasn't much more than that.  Scholarship, Board, and a weekly stipend for food.  Legit the basics for P5 schools at this point.

Are you saying Michigan offered TJ Stewart? No chance.

Rumor is that either Singleton was going up to 184 or Stewart (VT) was offered a spot at NC State and Fishback wasn't fond of whichever one it was.

So rumblings are Chittum is having admissions issues? No clue what that means but the longer this drags the worse it is for the Buckeyes. Also rumors Waters is getting feelers again for other schools.
