I’m not sure why people are acting like it’s very surprising that guys at Iowa that are getting recruited over late in their careers or are buried in the depth chart behind young studs are rumored to be leaving. They probably want to go somewhere that they have a chance to start. Makes sense to me.

@Husker_Du reporting Teemer to Iowa as a done deal.

Jamison looked big at 141 and I believe his father has stated that it was a very tough cut for him. With Williams moving on, I would think he slots nicely into 149. I think Cael Hughes wins the spot over Carter Young at 141 if Hughes cannot make 133. If the rumors of Hughes partaking in some of the same extracurricular activities as Williams are true, then perhaps that had a factor in Hughes missing weight at WTT.

Oh, wow. Did not see that. Thank you!

JO as in Jordan Oliver?

Anyone know if Nolf will be done competing after his move to TX? If he is still competing, he could be in the mix at 79kg also.

I would guess that Marstellar and Dierringer will be the biggest tests domestically. Would be interesting to see Starocci, KOT and Carr in the field. I would think that Carr will want to make a freestyle career at 74kg though.

I have to assume that CowboyYe2024 referred to RBY as the villain from the standpoint of being a cowboy fan. Fix couldn't beat RBY and therefore was the villain.

He seemed "butt-hurt" because Downey got hosed in his match not because his friends lost their matches.

Where does Nickal make any claims about Nolf and Kerk getting hosed?

Wasn't his comment specifically about Pat Downey getting robbed? I did not see anything related to his former PSU teammates.

Points 1 through 8 are all valid and do point to NLWC going through a significant change and possibly less horsepower than they had this time last year. That being said, HWC is still a long ways behind NLWC.

While I would typically agree, I do not believe this is the case. Pat Downey and Bo Nickal friends???

Obviously this is a great get for Cowboy RTC. Any time you can get an Olympian and mutli time national champion, that is great. RBY has just wrestled a handful of senior level matches in freestyle. I am going to withhold judgement of acting like his freestyle career is a colossal failure for a bit.

I don't see a bunch of people on this thread "hating" on Jordan Williams. I personally hope that he gets things figured out and has success elsewhere (i.e. Chance Marsteller). It is unfortunate that his family situation is difficult. I can wish him well on his future endeavors and hope that he changes his lifestyle while still understanding why OK State needed to cut ties with him and move on to ensure they set up a culture in line with the coaching staffs values and principles. This was not Williams first mistake so it is understandable what Taylor and Co. did in my opinion.

If I got multiple DUI’s at my job I would get canned.

Lopez for me. Career accomplishment is insane - 5 gold medals!

Just based on the rumored money from last summer and the fact that Starrocci is saying his NIL deal is 7 figures.

If you want to win a national title bringing in the highest returning placer at 197 (a weight you went 1-2 at NCAA's last year) and the highest returning placer at 157 (assuming Haines is out of the weight) would be the right equation. If you want to win titles, you need horses and Buchanon and Teemer are proven high end guys.

These two things don't have to mutually exclusive. NLWC and CKWC seem to have no problem paying big money for transfers and endowing the RTC with mucho dinero.

Mendez could be that guy also.

Haha wow. That was wild
