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.

Seriously though knew kids from Illinois who couldn't get into University of Illinois would go with Iowa or Ohio St and get out of state tuition waved.

It's been that way for a LONG time, speaking as someone who grew up in the Chicago suburbs. Iowa is the school for Chicagoland kids who didn't get into Illinois, and Marquette is for Chicagoland kids who didn't get into Notre Dame.

I had a lot of friends at Iowa from Illinois that did this exact thing

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

That is correct.......Papa Stewart was upset that Tech supporters were not happy with a .500 record from a returning AA.  He basically took his ball and went home.  However, he has reappeared recently.  I wish the kid nothing but the best moving forward, but time to get out of Blacksburg.

If you know Mr. Phillips I think they may even offer you some scholly money on the spot.

 

Supposedly rumors are the admissions office are aware of personal or background issues, again just what i've heard. So I don't know if he has any prior felonies and been arrested in the past but that seems to be the hold up.

Are you saying Michigan offered TJ Stewart? No chance.

Expand  

Actually, yes - they did.  It wasn't anything aside for the minimum.  Scholarship and room & board basically.  Which is pretty much covered under the new NIL crap anyways.

Edit:  And so it's known, it wasn't a "COME HERE AND START" thing.  It was a "You can come here.  We won't stop you."

Can they beat Vincent Cornella and Marcello Milani, respectively. I'm not being sarcastic. I genuinely don't know.

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

Makes sense .... in a portal NIL world that sometimes doesn't make sense.

Waved, like say hello to the tuition?  Well I guess goodbye in this case.

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.

Expand  

So you're saying there is a non-zero chance of Fishback at VT facing Stewart at NC State? For those that don't follow the ACC this is drama worthy of the Jerry Springer show

Just went and checked it out. User interface aside there is some great content. TJ to NC State rumors have ignited a few fans, and Big Stew is back in a big way. There has been violence threatened from both sides.

I think VT would take this trade at this point.  TJ has all the potential in the world but has not realized it yet.  He had a lot of struggles this year off the mat and those may continue.  I don't know much about Fishback other than what I have seen, but he is certainly more consistent than TJ and also has an high upside...

Pop and Robie don't exactly love each other, it's a pretty heated rivalry every year and VT fans are fed up with TJ,mostly bc of his dad. We usually pick a few wrestlers in NC State's lineup to arbitrarily hate even though we'd like them if they were on our side, Hidlay's, Orine, Ed Scott as of late. Vince Robinson was looking like the top candidate after shoving Eddie V after the dual meet loss but TJ in a Pack singlet would be an all time heel.

Quality depth with upside. I like the signing. Would it be possible to get a quality D1 starter?
