I believe that is where he originally committed. Sorry to see him leave Mizzou. He had some good wins this year over former national qualifiers Maximillian Leete and Tyler Ferrera. 

I was really high on him in HS. Took Luke Lilledahl to he brink in a S32 final once.

Yea the year he made the finals (2021), he beat Tyler Knox, Sam Herring, and Jax Forrest.

Sergio Desiante to Virginia Tech

[flyingcement]

So as far as we know - Brayden Thompson did not enter the portal before the required date.  I guess he will challenge for 184 and 197 and just eat the year of eligibility if it doesn't work out

Kevin Zimmer from Wyoming to SIUE

Ty Finn from VT to NYU

Mason Reiniche into the portal from Oregon State

Eh, there's always a few weak brackets at the S32.

This got a good chuckle out of me. Bravo.

I love looking into the weeds on this kind of stuff. I'm a junkie.

There was for sure talk that they were coming to Iowa State.  We were on the same visit as Kyler, Meza, and Castillo. It for sure was his second choice but they want (ed) to follow in Dad's footsteps at ASU.  

 

Side Note: That recruiting visit was off the chain with the talent there. Lockett, Larkin, Routledge on and on. If Iowa State could have got 1/2 those guys, man oh man.

@flyingcement I respect your commitment to reporting the transfer news here. I'd miss a lot of info without this thread.

Very nice of you to say!

For anyone was was interested in the best sources for transfer portal news, Jon Kozak at Flo has been running this list that shows dates of portal entry by weight, by school, including past accomplishments.  It's a huge list and has been a great reference this year.  https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/13994973-2025-ncaa-d1-wrestling-off-season-transfer-tracker

for a quick glance at who is currently still in the portal, I think wrestlestat has a nice view which is updated quite regularly:
https://www.wrestlestat.com/transferportal

Intermat keeps a solid list as well that can be a good reference source:

as you can imagine - information flows through all different channels for transfer portal news, so sometimes one source gets the update before another does.  as an example, intermat has been the only ones showing the Clem brothers from West Virginia to Sacred Heart.   Other updates Flo will have first - or Wrestlestat - it's hard to predict.

The Braunagels had more hair when they arrived.  Lets see how this pans out. 

[flyingcement]

Patrick Adams from Northwestern to Rutgers.  He started his career at Buffalo.

[Seanyd]

Out of the wrestlers left in the portal who do you think has the best odds to AA? I’d say Hippilito.

[RandolphTJones]

Gotta go Stewart. Also always liked Vasquez, see if he can pull it together. Thought he was def a Buckeye coming out of HS. 

[flyingcement]

If Alvarez actually gets another year, I will choose him.  But otherwise Hipolito and Stewart are good guesses.

Gianni Silvestri from Clarion to Buffalo

Javani Majoor from Arizona State to DII Adams State
Seth Larson from Campbell to Central Michigan
