I gotta say, I’m surprised by all the love for Buchanan. Elam beat him in their most recent match up, and he clearly was hampered by undisclosed injuries all year. If Rocky is healthy, he’s your champ. 

He'll be a contender but I think '97 next year will be similar to '25 this year.  Cardenas took 6 losses on the year and placed 4th.  You can also throw Little's name into the mix

I think Cael vs AB is much closer to a toss up than what most would like to believe.  The year prior down at 184 Cormier gave the mythical Cael quite a scrap and got a takedown in the 3rd to make it a 1 point match prior to Daniel having a brain fart and giving up the reversal.  If Cael wrestled AB in their primes 10 times I wouldn't be surprised if they split.  AB is going into WTT as an underdog to DT and although unlikely most won't or shouldn't find it shocking if he pulled off taking the spot.  That's how good he is

Maybe the Enitres' is possessive and it means the entire entries of the last chance qualifier enitres?

149: Henson (True sophomore will still be making jumps)

157: Meyer improves on bottom doesn't keep getting concussed and improves his tank

165: MM I don't think he loses again

Henson goes 157.  MM and Haines swap weights

Then the answer to the expanded question, who won and then transferred?

WKN, here's a fascinating one.  UPenn's Rchard DiBatista won titles in '41 & '42 at 175.  Transferred to Navy and AA'd in '01 '02 at 141.  Snuck into the tournament under the alias Mark Conley. Maybe @cowcards has the back story

Imagine if you were still alive and had gone that route with this mighty nation of ours.

Honestly I might have been for it, had I seen what it is turning to now.  Hopefully sensibility starts to expound itself as a more SOP soon.

According to canon Palpatine's return in Episode 9 "The Rise of Skywalker" is an analogy/direct correlation to the real Bob Dole

I got this list from Flowrestling. Its their most recent set of freestyle rankings. Also, Chance is up to 86kg and currently ranked 4th at the weight. 

 

They hold more water than you. Sorry. 

Nolf is the only other US wrestler ranked internationally with Dake at 74kg.  Chance is ranked at #11 at 86kg.  But, I agree with your overall points on the matter.  Bo is being over the top

Just now, Wrestleknownothing said:

He is on both lists as is Mocco

Yeah.  Edited my post.  Didn't scroll down far enough.

First the answer to the original question, who transferred then won a title?

Great stuff.  Nick Suriano should be on there twice...

Really? I did not know this. Could you tell us more? Like, were all parties ok with this?

I was a youngster during this era so I don't know all the details.  But, Kolat did make the short 30 min drive to practice with PSU while at Lock Haven and he and Fritz have a good relationship.  According to Kolat he only left because Fritz wouldn't allow him to redshirt for the '95 season.

No PSU fans mentioned Cary Kolat?

It's a 1/2 transfer.  He was still practicing in the PSU room while at Lock Haven.

Do you think Cunningham stays?

Im with the OP that Cunningham retires when Asher graduates.  My predictions are pure speculation. 

PSU needs to put in place a succession plan and losing DT to another school would be a major fail

Predictions. 

- Cael gets to 16 titles then retires. 

-DT gets brought on to the staff after this Olympic Cycle in some role whether on the PSU staff or NLWC. 

-Ben Askren doesn't take a head coaching position.  Max takes over at Wiscy.  The Badgers syphon the AWA pipeline

-DT and Kyle Dake take over the PSU program 

With a one of the Askrens at the helm and has an assistant that could take on the administrative burden Wiscy could build a strong program.  The pipeline to AWA would make them a perennial power.

I think getting pinned by a Double Grapevine would be more embarassing.

A bit more rare than a spladle and many on the mat haven't seen one in competition.

For me the ultimate most embarrassing way to get pinned would be the Saturday Night Ride.  Especially if your opponent wanted to top it off with jazz hands

Hard to imagine.  Sinclair and Rath are blue chip recruits.  Mauger & Roller are strong recruits with future AA potential.  Future looks pretty bright for Missouri
