    Before the Welsh news, Willie mentioned a rumor of Feldman talking to Penn State, he said it wasn’t true, maybe that was really Welsh, or maybe it was true. One Mirasola was already likely being squeezed out of the lineup, so that could make sense if they both leave

    Maybe not as much as they have now, but they have had guys like Mason Manville and Joe Lee come in with age level freestyle success, not be able to crack the starting lineup for an extended period yet stay in the PSU room but then not really do anything post-collegiately either.

    Clearly Welsh’s destination was confirmed prior to him officially entering, but the portal window had been open for a week so the discussions/negotiations still could have occurred during the actual portal window. Maybe they didn’t, we don’t really know, but we do know for sure that Buchanan and Teemer’s plans became official outside of the portal window. This is also after the season had just ended, giving his former team more time to find a plan B.

    I had not heard this claim about Nagao until just now. My understanding was he entered the portal and a bidding war ensued. I was under the impression Iowa offered more, albeit not by much (IIRC, Nagao specifically said he did not take the highest offer). Your first part was true about Iowa IMO prior to this year. The Buchanan and Teemer situation of them not being in the portal then just showing up at Iowa did probably earn them some criticism.

    I am by no means trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. I mean in this very thread I suggested they’re exaggerating injuries to get medical redshirts. They poached James obviously. But continuing to recruit verbally committed guys seems pretty common. They poached Kerkvliet. They probably pay the second most money after Iowa. I just don’t think I’d call Welsh “poaching”

    @MPhillips or tOSU homers, is Kharchla for sure done? Seems like he could probably get a medical for 2024 if he wanted to. Obviously not a good NCAA’s (tough draw though), but he did actually have a pretty good regular season
  7. 1032004
    What is the point of poaching someone that’s not even an upgrade? I wouldn’t say Iowa has even done that (at least not on paper)
  8. 1032004
    I thought there was some criticism of them about Ono, and talk about that potentially sending Davis and/or Nagao to the portal
  9. 1032004
    Because if both Haines and Ryder stay and Haines doesn’t redshirt, Welsh might not even start
  10. 1032004
    I included the line “that did not transfer out.” Suriano would have started had he stayed at PSU
  11. 1032004
    I doubt he was “poached.” If this was McEnelly then you’d be into something
  12. 1032004
    Yes I know. I think we agree, it feels more like he just wanted to go to Penn State than he was actually unhappy at tOSU
  13. 1032004
    Serious question, has there been any PSU alumnus that did not transfer out and had notable international freestyle success that wasn’t at least a 3 (maybe even 4) year starter for the college team? Seems like if they can’t consistently crack the PSU lineup, they probably aren’t going to accomplish their international dreams either.
  14. 1032004
    Yeah, if this is a “Max Dean situation,” then I kinda doubt Welsh redshirting had anything to do with him leaving tOSU (except for of course if he knew all along he wanted to go to PSU but wanted to wait until Starocci graduated).
  15. 1032004
    Interesting to me that people seem concerned about the portal hurting the small schools, yet most of the big names in the portal are from top 10-20 teams
  16. 1032004
    I guess Haines only has one more year. Maybe Ryder gets “injured” in the wrestleoff and gets a medical like Nagao
  17. 1032004
    Well are they paying him?
  18. 1032004
    You’re like 3 weeks late and it wasn’t a salute, he was waving as he was finishing his speech
  19. 1032004
    TBH I feel like Welsh is kinda overrated. I know he was a freshman finalist but he didn’t really have many big wins. I feel like he’s more of a 4th/5th type guy. Which would make him the weak link at PSU.
  20. 1032004
    Stand by my statement. I don’t see how this happens without Ryder or Haines leaving
  21. 1032004
    This would make no sense unless someone(s) else is leaving
  22. 1032004
    Should they be afforded a chance to prove they’re here legally?
  23. 1032004
    Hopefully the ad company saw the thread confirming that this is the GOAT of message boards and Bob/Willie are getting paid more for these awful ads (although I’m also using an ad blocker)
  24. 1032004
    Yes, this. Thank you for the Signal explanation, was not aware of that. But Waltz mixing up the initials somehow from his phone still seems to be the most likely explanation
  25. 1032004
    According to the screnshots, some of the people showed as initials (such as “MAR” and “TG”), but others showed as names (such as “JD Vance” and “Pete Hegseth”). I don’t know anything about Signal but to me this suggests that how the names appeared was based on how they were stored on Waltz’s phone.
