Here's the list. PA has had 90 wrestlers win 125 individual NCAA Division I titles. Within the list of 90 PA NCAA titlists, 33 guys compiled 40 NCAA Division I titles - but never won a PIAA HS championship. Some on the list were National Prep champs. The National Prep list includes Prep titles by Ed Ruth (who transferred to Blair Academy for his SR year), but it does not include Pat Santoro (who won a National Prep title during a post-grad year at Blair prior to enrolling at Pitt).

It's going to be alot harder to steal the election this year, Trump is up in all but 1 of the swing states. Lara Trump is dogged about making sure that there are poll workers covering all of the major polling stations. They are not leaving it to chance like before. There will still be fraud, but there are alot more eyes on the election this year. My step daughter went to vote in Philly in 2012 and they literally had a fathead mural of Obama behind the machines and the worker said there is a republican in the house. This is after she passed 2 armed thugs to get in. Checks and balances are being put in place so that kind of fraud will be harder to get away with.2 points

Despite a Yokozuna out with injury, and despite the loss to surgery of the impudent upstart Hakuoho (who almost won the last tournament as a complete rookie), the September basho started out very strong with a loud crowd in Tokyo. There are a number of storylines that provide interest. The top storyline has to be the two Ozekis (second-highest rank below Yokozuna) who are kadoban. That means they have to obtain a winning record in their 15 matches or lose their lofty rank. This is day three, and they have both lost a match. Oh my! They are each 2-1. Another major story is the rise of Hokutofuji. This fellow looks like a chubby accountant, but he is the ultimate pro. In fact, he reminds me of a slick shortstop with his crisp, clean movements (even in his pre-match routine). He is now 3-0, and he is responsible for defeating the two Ozekis. Hokutofuji challenged for the title during the last basho, and he is only looking stronger. A story that I'm very interested in is my favorite wrestler Hoshoryu, also known as the Golden Boy. He is another Ozeki, and he's already lost twice in three bouts! Not optimal. There has been an Ozeki curse for some time now, and I hope that Golden Boy doesn't fall under its spell. And finally, if you follow sumo or have read the reports here about the last tournament, you know that a fellow going by the name of NattoSumo has been putting the tournaments up on YouTube even though they are the property of the Japanese Sumo Federation and the Japanese TV giant NHK. Well, he's already had a couple videos removed in the last few days, so he's changed his name to JustinBeiberwrestling, apparently because YouTube would never ban Justin Beiber. These are today's matches, which went on YouTube a few hours ago. The video might not last long. Haha! That's Golden Boy, the Mongolian Ozeki in the picture. I also wanted to give you an action shot at 7:50 of the video showing the excitement of sumo. What you see below is Sadanoumi pushing Kotoshoho off of the elevated ring. Kotoshoho is flying out, while Sadanoumi is simply flying:

The greatest example is Bruce Baumgartner - never won the state title in NJ but won NCAAs (3X finalist) and became one of the greatest heavyweights ever in FS. Also I believe both Keith Gavin and Pat Santoro would qualify.1 point

With the conclusion of the NCAA wrestling tournament and the calendar changing over to May, you’d think that it means it’s the offseason for college wrestling and all focus should turn to the Olympic styles, right? Maybe in the past, but in a new era of collegiate athletics, once the final whistle has blown on a particular postseason, it means it’s time to turn your attention to the transfer portal. Love it or hate it, it’s the reality. Student-athletes have the ability to transfer much more freely than past generations. Couple that with the extra year of eligibility doled out by the NCAA in the aftermath of the COVID years and you have a wild combination. There was lots of movement last “offseason” and I don’t foresee that changing this year. In the almost two months since the NCAA finals, there have already been some huge names that have gone into the portal. Some have already announced their new homes, while others are still being courted. The first list of wrestlers we’ve listed have already publicly committed to a new transfer destination. That new school is listed first, along with their projected weight, followed by their former school. Below them are notable wrestlers that have gone into the transfer portal. It is not a comprehensive list. Expect many updates to this feature in the coming weeks and months. Brown: Jacob Joyce (125) - Stanford Cal Poly: Joel Jesuroga (149) - Iowa Cal Poly: Korbin Shepherd (133/141) - Missouri Chattanooga: Connor Strong (184) - Penn Edinboro: Colton Camacho (125/133) - Pittsburgh Edinboro: Ryan Michaels (149) - Pittsburgh Edinboro: Cheaney Schoeff (133) - Indiana Franklin & Marshall: Michael Duggan (157) - Bloomsburg Illinois: Ramazan Attasauov (125/133) - Iowa State Illinois: Jason Kraisser (157) - Iowa State Illinois: Danny Nini (157) - North Carolina Indiana: Logan Frazier (133) - Virginia Tech Indiana: Angelo Rini (133) - Columbia Iowa State: Evan Bockman (197) - Utah Valley Lehigh: Rylan Rogers (174/184) - Michigan Little Rock: Branson Britten (184) - Northern Colorado Little Rock: Brock DelSignore (184) - NC State Little Rock: Jaivon Jones (149) - Northern Illinois Lock Haven: James Lledo (184) - Pittsburgh Lock Haven: Nick Stampoulos (157) - Buffalo Michigan: Jacob Cardenas (197) - Cornell Michigan: Chase Saldate (157) - Michigan State Michigan State: Jay Nivison (174) - Buffalo Minnesota: Tommy Askey (157) - Appalachian State Minnesota: Cooper Flynn (125) - Virginia Tech Minnesota: Clayton Whiting (174/184) - Missouri Morgan State: Xavier Doolin (285) - Northern Colorado Morgan State: Darrien Roberts (184) - Oklahoma North Carolina: Ryan Boersma (285) - Missouri North Carolina: Nolan Neves (285) - Columbia North Carolina: Ethan Oakley (133) - Appalachian State North Carolina: Josh Ogunsanya (174) - North Carolina North Dakota State: Kyle Burwick (133) - Nebraska North Dakota State: Peyton Moore (133) - Missouri North Dakota State: Devin Wasley (184) - Minnesota Northern Colorado: Clayton Ulrey (157/165) - Virginia Tech Northern Illinois: Markel Baker (125/133) - George Mason Northern Illinois: Spencer Mooberry (197) - North Dakota State Oklahoma: Fernando Barreto (133) - North Dakota State Oklahoma: Cleveland Belton (141) - Oregon State Oklahoma: Gaven Sax (174) - North Dakota State Oklahoma: Carter Schubert (165) - California Baptist Oklahoma State: Caleb Fish (165) - Michigan State Oklahoma State: Dean Hamiti (165/174) - Wisconsin Oregon State: Sean Harman (174) - Missouri Pittsburgh: Nick Babin (125) - Columbia Pittsburgh: Chase Kranitz (184) - Buffalo Pittsburgh: Evan Tallmadge (125) - Navy Rider: Sammy Alvarez (149) - Oklahoma State Rutgers: Dagen Condomitti (157) - Oregon State SIU Edwardsville: Ben Lunn (141) - Minnesota SIU Edwardsville: Luke Odom (157) - Illinois SIU Edwardsville: Griffin Ray (165) - Nebraska Utah Valley: Tanner Frothinger (141) - Nebraska Virginia Tech: Connor McGonagle (133) - Lehigh Virginia Tech: Lennox Wolak (174) - Columbia West Virginia: Tommy Maddox (133) - Buffalo Wisconsin: Wyatt Skebba (125) - Central Michigan Wyoming: Sam Mitchell (197) - Buffalo This last week was unusual compared to previous ones on the transfer front. The portal has closed for the season, so there will be no more new entries unless there’s a head coaching change. Also, there weren’t any huge names that made their transfer intentions known; however, there was a lot of movement. Some of the highlights include: Jacob Joyce is a part of a rare Ivy League transfer. He comes to Brown from Stanford. Speaking of Ivy Leaguers, Connor Strong will join the Chattanooga program as a grad transfer from Penn. Strong was not a starter for the Quakers, but he did post a 12-3 record in 2022-23. Edinboro continues to revamp its lower weights with the addition of Cheaney Schoeff from Indiana. Illinois has done a good job at filling potential holes in their lineup. Danny Nini is the latest addition. He presumably competes with fellow transfer Jason Kraisser for the starting role at 157 lbs. Lehigh will add Rylan Rogers. In 2022, Rogers was the #11 overall recruit in the nation. He was injured for a portion of the 2023-24 season and then was unable to unseat Jaden Bullock in the Michigan starting lineup. Little Rock gets a solid, under-the-radar pickup, in Jaivon Jones from Northern Illinois. Jones has always been solid for the Huskies, posting winning records, but wasn’t able to get over the hump and qualify for nationals. Michigan State picks up former national qualifier Jay Nivison from Buffalo. North Carolina continues to add transfers. Their lineup could look much different from its 2023-24 iteration. The latest is heavyweight Nolan Neves a graduate transfer from Columbia. He’ll join Lion teammate Joshua Ogunsanya in Carolina Blue. There’s been a lot of movement regarding North Dakota State. They had a couple of pickups, most notably national qualifier Kyle Burwick, who comes back to his home state. Oklahoma is another team that will have a relatively new look in 2024-25. They upgraded at 133 and 141 lbs with the addition of Fernando Barreto and Cleveland Belton, respectively. Belton is likely the most notable name in this round of updates. He is a two-time national qualifier that advanced to the NCAA Round of 12 in 2024. At NCAA's, he scored wins over former Sooner Mitch Moore, Danny Pucino (Illinois), and Danny Fongaro (Indiana). New Utah Valley head coach Adam Hall got a transfer from the Big Ten in Tanner Frothinger. While redshirting at Nebraska, Frothinger amassed a 13-5 total record; however, he was 0-2 against DI competition. Technically, they don’t count as moves or transfers, but a special note should be made in favor of new Buffalo head coach Donnie Vinson. Max Elton (125) and Sam Ewing (133), both announced they would be transferring during the Bulls coaching transition and even committed to new schools. Since then, both have decided to stay in Buffalo.

You are so right. Funny thing is, Alito made an initial gesture toward examining the issue, but then like it came from on high, courts across the country decided to not litigate the election. Supreme Court included. Now that it’s too late, courts in AZ and GA are revealing the evidence of fraudulent voting. Pennsylvania still shows over 100,000 more ballots than voters.1 point

I was incredulous that the courts would not even consider the evidence and dismissed cases based on lack of standing. Justice was not done. The justice department(s) (local, state, and federal) avoided having to even hear if they had to administer justice. There is no wonder in my mind how many of the institutions of our country (academia, media, courts, law enforcement, government agencies, healthcare, corporate boards, etc.) are finding themselves in a state of cratering public trust. When the courts use contortions to claim that American citizens have no standing to have evidence examined in a case about the election of the American presidency they have worked hard to earn and rightly deserve our disdain.1 point

How can a water main break in Atlanta, unplanned and unneeded building evacuation in Detroit, flash drive losses in Milwaukee, and other random events that all occurred within minutes of each other on a particular night and helped one specific person be considered to be caused by a very interested party that has its sole goal as helping that one specific person? RIdiculous (and criminal) to question these random and totally unrelated topics. Nothing to see here. Move along, America, and sin no more via your silly noticing of things that don't make sense and are impossible to have happened randomly.1 point

People are having a difficult time understanding that many of these PSU/NLWC guys have lives and jobs and don't want to be college coaches. Also a ton of people who don't seem to get that Bo and DT are NOT buddies whatsoever, due to rivalry on the mat and a business falling out. DT and Brooks may not be very chummy either esp. with potential (likely undisclosed) suspension looming and the fact that Brooks seems to be "Team Bo."1 point

OSU got Tate after the portal was a thing. If that's a benefit, so be it... We were good with, "Gas Tank Gary." For the dummies in the back... The Pareto principle was developed by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto in 1896. Pareto observed that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by only 20% of the population. He also witnessed this happening with plants in his garden—20% of his plants were bearing 80% of the fruit.1 point
