Lock Haven it is!

Waltz invited him, this has been confirmed. Most likely he was trying to invite someone else with the same initials.

It was after last season, I’m counting that as this season

I don’t see how it doesn’t go to Hendrickson given the stated criteria, including sportsmanship. I think he deserves it based on the wrestling stats alone, the only reason Starocci would get it is past achievements. Which brings me back to sportsmanship. Maybe I’m old school but I don’t think someone that drew a picture of a sex toy on someone else should get an award where sportsmanship is a criteria.

What happened?

Agree 100%. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if UVU had no NIL to give. But they probably have scholarships, which Barraclaugh likely didn’t have at PSU. There also seems to be a steep dropoff in alleged payments. If you’re a top 3 or 4 guy, maybe you can get $500k (although I wouldn’t be surprised if that shrinks due to the lack of ROI on Teemer and Parco). But what does a R12 type guy get? There were guys like Isaiah Powe, who won a match at NCAA’s as a true freshman but apparently didn’t get a good enough offer to leave UTC (yes I know he is back in the portal). Even a Caleb Fish probably didn’t get all that much if anything to go to OSU.

No clue where Zeth Romney finishes his career, but since we’re talking about “good for the sport,” do you think Wyatt Hendrickson beats Gable Steveson if he wrestles for Air Force this year (assuming he was even allowed to which he wasn’t)? I don’t. I just don’t see how the current situation is really all that different than it was in the past. The mid-tier schools could never get the same recruits the top schools could. The difference now is they might lose guys they develop, but it’s also easier to get guys that couldn’t make it at the top schools, so seems like kind of a wash to me.

This is a joke, right?

Yes, that’s the true meaning of NIL. I know Cormier also said he had people reaching out to him looking to do endorsements with Hendrickson

Would he have had to do anything to apply for it already?

At worst, he should have one more year. 2021 - free year 2022 - year 1 2023 - redshirt 2024 - year 2 2025 - year 3 At best, he could have 3 more years if he can get a medical for 2022 and Olympic for 2024

If you told a basketball fan that at least 2 guys on the team that got 4th place got paid $500k, they probably wouldn’t believe you

Has Luke Smith done any interviews? I’m curious to hear his thoughts especially now with AJ in the portal. I wouldn’t expect him to say anything negative, but it’d be interesting to see how positive he is about his experience with AJ. Also curious if they had already talked about him potentially going back in the portal after the first year

Even if the Director of National Intelligence and Director of the CIA have specifically said it was not classified?

Agree, I’m sure selling it would be a no no. Publishing it probably not.

I don’t see how there could be any penalties for something that was given to someone that they did not obtain illegally.

I’m sure he owns a company he’d be glad to charge the government to use for communications

Obviously Barr is a stud also, I did say “may” after all :-). I just watched this one and there were zero takedowns, Barr won with 2 shot clock points, a stepout, and a failed challenge point when they wiped off a potential takedown (off a counter) for McEnelly because Barr was injured (and was probably the correct call).

Yeah, gonna be tough not to see that giraffe picture whenever I hear Nickal’s name now

Oh man I just went and read some of their exchanges, Palacio is really going after Bo

Angelo going to 197 may not be the worst idea for himself if he’s big enough. Several of the top guys graduate, and it may be tougher to beat McEnelly than Barr.

Does HR even want AJ? I feel like a reasonable fan would be concerned AJ somehow screws up Angelo and wouldn’t want him there, especially if Elam is an option.

Links to what was said have already been shared in this thread. Why comment if you can’t even bother to look up what was in the messages?

He should drop to 157.
