2025 Transfer Portal

[CHROMEBIRD]

Is it too soon to joke about AJ going to UALR and competing even though he's out of eligibility?

Would he have had to do anything to apply for it already?

Nah, just go ahead and assume you got it and just start wrestling the season.

Basch referenced this as his sophomore season he said hes going to petition for 3 more years I have no idea how many he has left but I would guess at least 2 including next year.

AJ is going to get three more years because the NCAA is not going to fight any of these requests while it is trying to figure out what a post-House settlement world looks like.

This sucks.

I wonder if there will be any sanctions against Little Rock for the Brennan situation...

Now TJ Stewart

[creek chub]

To most VT fans, TJ leaving isn’t a shocker. He was a shell of his former self this season. It was reported a preseason injury hampered his results but as the season went on, something else appeared to lacking on his part

 Nasir Bailey and Jordan Williams now hit the portal too

Nothing but drama down that path.  I would prefer the Focus family.

Yeah I get that end of it for sure, at this point we need at 184 for sure though! 

[Crotalus]

Is Barr staying at 197? If so, are the Mirasolas really going to stick around?

Nothing but pure daddy drama with that one. The risk is not worth the reward, especially with a 500 or so win percentage this past year. 

[Ragu]

Bailey and Williams not being a package deal would shock me

He had a lot of personal family health things this season.  He gets a mulligan from me on performance.

I still want nothing to do with the drama.

Michigan isn't and hasn't been interested. Some joker VT fans spread rumors last summer that Bormet and KJ were tampering with Stewart "in the stands" at NCAAs, nonsense that was probably started by Stewart's dad to drive up his price.

His dad was horrible on the VT forum after TJ got AA. He was posting comments that “we” aren’t sure TJ would come back to VT after he AA’d, said something to the effect he needed “respect”, whatever that means. He basically was acting like he was a sports agent in a very public way. It wasn’t too well received by many of the VT fans. 
 

Then this past preseason, he posted that the Mizzou kid didn’t stand a chance against TJ, and he lost by MD. He also said the only person who could beat TJ at 184 was himself. That didn’t age well…

I could see him moving up to 197, he has competed there in the past and some of his inconsistency issues could be solved by cutting less

Do you have a backup of last year's around this time?

[ionel]

Are any Penn State guys transferring in or out for dodgeball?  The wrestling is pretty well locked up but what about dodgeball positions?
