I believe on the same FRL where they were talking about raising 57kg they were also talking about adding more Olympic weights. I’m sure almost every wrestling fan (except Nomad IIRC) wants more Olympic weights. The reason it’s not talked about as much is because it has a slim chance of happening.

It’s certainly an “existing” debate and wasn’t just because of Vito. For example Gilman struggling with the cut was brought up as well prior to the trials, and some of the speculation around Lee was that he was at an advantage because he seemed to be one of the only top guys that didn’t appear to struggle with the cut. And yeah as was mentioned wanting to raise 57kg isn’t mutually exclusive from wanting more Olympic weights. IIRC in that discussion they were making suggestions for weight classes if there were 8 or something.

Well Taylor could always go to OK State for a few years then go back to PSU if the job opens up.

My Keckeisen comment was mostly sarcasm (although that’s certainly a tossup match IMO), I was more asking if people think Barr would be better than Cochran next season. Cochran beat an AA, Barr hasn’t beaten anyone with a win at NCAA’s

This facility will be used by the women also correct? Are the women not part of HWC? I noticed at trials the athletes were listed as “Iowa Womens Wrestling Club”

Yeah are they really not going to have an RTC? The Larkins are studs in FS, will they stay?

I don’t think this is true if the number is ridiculous. BWI posters were also commenting about how Cael had been unhappy with the pay of his assistants at one point, as well as the vax mandate apparently. It doesn’t seem like it’s necessarily all sunshine and roses at PSU, although he supposedly likes their new AD much better than their last one.

Lol

Coleman Scott to Hofstra? Minnow saying OK State interviewed Cunningham as well

Yup, kinda even if he does get the job…. So I think answer to the question of it being a bad sign for Coleman that he hadn’t been named yet was proven to be yes…

Good prediction!

Is Barr at 184 better than Cochran at 197? Sounds kinda like Starocci is ducking Keckeisen.

He was (maybe is) a good wrestler, but people nitpicked his style even before most people realized he was crazy. For as entertaining as he can be off the mat, he’s incredibly boring on it.

Well they have 1 for sure (Caliendo), and seems like a high likelihood that they get at least one more, probably more than that. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. As of now PSU is already projected to start 3 transfers and Michigan 2, with Michigan in particular likely looking for more

Askren said on his last FRL that he also wants to coach more senior level athletes. Then there was a (mostly?) sarcastic discussion about Flo starting an RTC…

So hypothetically, if Esposito left on his own, would Coleman Scott have been informed of this plan if it wasn’t for him to take over?

I don’t think he’d necessarily be a “marquee guy” based on his NCAA results, he has 2 wins in his career over past AA’s. But after seeing him beat Haines at the trials, I’m on board with that statement.

Was it his choice to leave?

Are you referring to last year? It’s not like Pop was going to take the Associate HC job.

Downey teched Bo Nickal…

This is the only video I could find of him from BEG. The guy talking https://www.facebook.com/story.php?id=100052000961845&story_fbid=956181302791893

I’m not 100% sure, which is why I didn’t name him initially until asked and clarified that is my guess. I noted the deleted x/twitter account earlier (I assume by “bad sign” you mean good sign it’s him?). But I’d say I’m about 90% sure. You can see that x/twitter account posted at least as recently as January based on replies to it, and likely still existed on March 3rd when it was tagged by “NLWC fan.” But the best evidence IMO is that when I looked closer at the video I thought he looked kinda like the guy that had appeared in the BEG podcast, who I know was a PSU homer and FS fan (I believe he reported for them from Worlds in Serbia for example). But when I went to check the old videos all the ones with him in it have been deleted, despite what looks like most or all of the rest of their old videos still being posted.

Yup. I love that these guys are making this much, but let’s be honest, no individual college wrestler is bringing in more than like $200k in revenue and that’s probably being generous (except for maybe Cayden Henschel). It’s funny since people likely thought NIL would be the end of the non-revenue sports being supported by the revenue sports, but it may have just made it worse. And for wrestling teams in the B10, I don’t think that will really change even if they split from the NCAA for football.

ScrapLife doesn’t seem to have an issue with guys making dumb tweets, has he ever been sponsored by them?
