I totally agree with you. Just the can't read, can't write thing. I know it is not a top academic school but one of the better ones in the MAC overall. Me and my daughter and sons have toured about 50 schools the last 7 years. Kent State campus and town was surprisingly nice from what we were expecting going in. Anyway I agree Josh Moore has his hands tied trying to compete with the power 4 conferences. Why would Kent State opt in to the new legislation and have roster limits? Seems like they and other MAC, SoCon schools would want numbers.

That was absolutely brutal. Dang. I work for a fortune 100 company. Our CFO went to Kent State. Not a wrestler but he is familiar with that line. So all the MAC schools are worthless degrees? I have been to most schools in the MAC and actually like the campus and town of Kent the best.

Honestly NE Ohio and Western PA might be the best region in US for wrestling period correct? I know that is up for debate. With that said Kent State, especially with the removal of Cleveland St, and a locked in new coach should turn it around? Or are the power 4 conferences just to alluring? Money of course being the biggest factor along with winning, duh. But I commend what Josh Moore is trying to do!

Basketball is my mortal enemy jk. But these are pretty good trending numbers! Thanks for sharing!

He is in Goat convo I agree. He in my opinion has peaked. But his non peak is different than most. He can still win gold medals. So can Snyder. Going to be interesting to see how these two finish 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 probably their last 4 years. Heck Snyder could be in Goat convo if he wins out through 2028. But I think both will not get that done therefore we were lucky to see two all time greats at same time. Just not Goats.

I agree with you mostly on the age for most people. It is just Sad and Snyder have been banging at the highest level since 14. Sad was a phenom like Kyle very young. I think their primes were 21-25. That sounds odd but let's see how they do. Kyle's and Sad's best days are over. But with the right bracket they are still good enough to win Gold!

Sad and Snyder are now old men. Yes they are good enough to make their teams, but I like Snyders chances now that they are older more so. Taz is in his prime and I see no one getting him for a few years. So no more golds for Snyder unless we have a Varner situation where Yazdani blows out knee but it is possible. Spencer is our only Gold in my opinion.

How tall is he? I mean I was at the US Open and watched him beat the two best HS wrestlers in the nation! Mocco (Who is a world champ) and Ross. Really think it is his size?

You talk about change of fortune! Unemployed to king of the portal. Never give freaking up man even when sh.. looks really bad!!! Don't want to bring the Lord into this but man he was looking out for Josh Moore!

Bleeding will not stop for Campbell. How late can guys transfer? Was Aug 1st the Deadline. Or are there no rules anymore really

Reminds me of the movie 300 and how the Spartans trained their young warriors. That is from extreme training from a very young age.

It has been going on so long someone said it was official, official last week. The thing that caught me off guard was so many non power 4's opting in. Everyone was saying most non power 4 schools wouldn't opt in. After the dust settled it looks like over 90% of the non power 4 schools opted in. That is disheartening. So all those non power 4 schools that opted in will have to eventually cut their rosters to 30 correct? Just doing quick math 500-600 wrestlers will be cut

10-4 was just arguing about that with a head D2 coach. But will have to happen? So what is the deadline for say Bloomsburg? They got like 55 kids on roster!

So is there an official list of D1 wrestling schools that have opted in? I know all the P4 schools are in. Does anyone know if say one of the MAC schools like Buffalo, Ohio, Kent St opt in does that automatically make them have to reduce their rosters to 30 kids immediately? That would result in a heck of alot of cutting

Dang that is bad. Hotbeds of wrestling crumbling. Cleveland State, Buffalo. Thanks for article. Didn't know it was that bad at Buffalo. Just inept leaders at these schools. Wonder how the new coach and wrestlers are doing now?
