After the Olympics, no? If not where are their Olympian women going to be training?

So you’re saying it’s gonna be Coleman?

Does OK state have more procedures than Cornell? Looks like it took them about a day to promote Grey when Koll left

If it was a done deal I would’ve thought they only would’ve waited like a week, but just speculating

Ha, yes, 89

Yes my apologies, I thought since the discussion was about transfers your comment was as well. But maybe it wasn’t.

Ok fair enough, I thought he was implying that it might’ve just been an offer and not some thing that was actually paid

Looks like more schools need to start recruiting the kids of celebrities. How old is Mario Lopez’s son? Maybe Rutgers could get the kid whose dad was from real housewives and was picking fights with highschoolers

You said the amount was paid. Which I’d be confident in interpreting means the wrestler actually transferred. There are 2 wrestlers who meet the criteria you listed (finalist last year that transferred for their final season of eligibility). Both of them attended the same school. And you wouldn’t even need the “not at PSU or Iowa” qualifier unless you wanted to nitpick and say “I only said the amount was for one season, not that they only had one year left.” But the only other transfers to make the finals were Mesenbrink and Kerk.

You said “what was paid”… But, there are 2 options for who it could be. 1 school though

Oh wait, forgot there were 2 options from the same school (neither being Griffith)…

I guess in the case of Alirez (and maybe the person you reference above if he continues to train with his current RTC), they both have had success on the FS circuit so I wonder if that amount is also counting some post-college payment?

No, he wasn’t a finalist this season. Same school though

I’m pretty sure there’s only one option for who that could be…

For some reason I thought he had more than 1 year left but nope. $500k for one year seems to be quite the overpayment if true

The Hawkeye board was the first to share alleged figures offered to Woods, Nagao, Alirez, etc?

To be fair he did call “Iowa trying to get Alirez into the portal” and then he went in the portal, so seems like there’s probably some truth here. But I’m not sure why almost all of the alleged offers that get leaked are from Iowa. Must be a mole at the HWC…

Minnow claiming the offer from “Iowa” was $500k

I feel like you should have to forfeit any scholarship money from the prior year if you transfer immediately after a redshirt (Mesenbrink for example). IIRC Alirez may not have even been enrolled so probably not applicable in his case but just made me think of it. I do think we will see smaller schools redshirt guys less to make sure they get the years out of them while they can.

My guess is it is the guy mentioned in this tweet

The sequence in Bassett/Valencia is a good example of why people don’t like exposure for points. Bassett was in deep on a shot which he ultimately finished, but Valencia also gets 2 because he yolo’d and managed to get Bassett’s back to about 91 degrees for a millisecond

It does seem to help those guys as I’ve stated before but you don’t typically hear much from guys that aren’t winning. Although AJ Ferrari talks about God a lot too…

Is the fact that Scott hasn’t been named HC yet a bad sign for him?

Except for Pentz who didn’t even wrestle, have they had any starters transfer to any school other than Oklahoma or Iowa? Seems like the reason for the departures was Kish leaving. If their younger guys start transferring too then maybe I’d be worried. They started 6 freshmen and 1 sophomore last season, seems like they have a lot of potential to improve.

It was an Instagram story or whatever but has his name crossed out. I don’t have Instagram but saw Minnow screenshotted it in his Fb group
