truth He also has stated multiple times, he is family oriented and the college coaching demands do not match his preferred lifestyle. I think the same could have been said to an extent about DT, so if the check is big enough, his lifestyle preferences might adjust.

Portal closes May 2 I believe - getting down to the wire. Surprised that he didn't hit the portal given Ono, but maybe this is the greatest testament to Cael. Davis is an AA, coach brings in a world champ, Davis get busted for drinking and could probably use a fresh start. Nope, coach has your back behind the scenes and Davis decides that even with money and the high probability of starting, he chooses to stay. If that is how it plays out - I think this really becomes a feel good life changing story for Davis and Cael.

I saw Gibson in action this past season at an open. Didn't see much of a jump over HS. Still trying to muscle and go upper body. Good against the 15+ ranked guys, but unlikely against top 10 / AA caliber.

You think Paddy can beat Kharchla?

125: Kilkeary 133: Davino 141: Mendez 149: Stiles 157: Gallagher 165: Cannon 174: Kharchla 184: Fishback 197: Geog 285: Feldman

Ivies don’t have scholarships

put me in coach!

Thanks for posting this. Am I thinking of this right - total number 14,225/33 = 431, then divide by 10 weight classes so is this data for 43 years? Pretty impressive! Any chance to cut this down to like the last 15 years and recast?

Do you know if the coaches poll will be released after the portal closes?

He is what he is, but what I found really crazy was the lack of praise for his brother. He mentioned no one could touch him except for his brother and then he said he was the best Ferrari. The new Iowa facility is huge, but I don't think it is big enough for 2 Ferraris!

Thank you for posting these files! So much work into them and fun to use - much appreciated!!!

Please add me to the waitlist!

Trying to leverage the good work of anyone that has built out a nice simulation model for scoring nationals.

Sorry, yes, my eye's missed that one, 100% stand corrected!

Second fiddel's row! I only see likely champ at 184. Everyone else I would put in the semis and not at the top of the podium. Corrected - champs at 165 and and 184! Only way MM doesn' win is if Tonya Harding's crew comes out of retirement and I probably still pick him to win!

Yes, he was injured before wrestle offs and then was injured against Paniro. Paddy has been working through some issues as well. Truth is pretty much everyone on any roster is dinged up one way or another. These guys are so touch just to step on the mat with what they go through.

Coach Ryan has been gently leaking this expected outcome for about a month now. This is what's best for Ohio State. Anyone close to the program knows that Paddy, Sammy and Cannon have all had a lot to overcome and are warriors. We celebrate Sammy and move on to cheering for Paddy and Cannon going forward.

Curious from PSU and tOSU insiders what all this means? How does Sealy do against Kasak? How does Cannon do against Paddy and Sasso? we should see Cannon and Sasso this weekend so that will be answered but how about Sealy?

We will know a lot more after this weekend.

Martin has 2 wins over Bo.

tOSU might have a run on the bank. Kilkeary, Bouzakis and Welsh. Welsh is the one that would hurt the most but probably stays put. Kilkeary and Bouzakis likely out, but not really a loss in points given McCrone and Davino. Also wonder if Davino could drop to 125 and bump McCrone up. PSU double booked at 133 Nagao could be on the way out, I can't see Kasak, Facundo, Sealey, Duke and Cunningham all sticking around. Duke and Cunningham yes, I think Facundo and Sealey have to go, same with Gibson. 30 man roster limit is going to cause some movement which is good for wrestling. PSU has 38 on the roster, loses 9 to graduation and picks up 6 recruits which means 5 must be cut.

So many times I hear how Penn State develops athletes, Ohio State cannot, Iowa kills great recruits and now we have the great David Taylor. We now have the perfect opportunity to crown the best coaching staff for middle weights in 3 years! Which young superstar will be the highest placing 65 KG rep in 2028? Blaze to PSU Bassett to Iowa Forest to Okie State (not yet confirmed) Mendez at tOSU Of those 4, Mendez is the clear number 1 today, will any of the young superstars be able to catch him? Does Mendez pull a Snyder and leave tOSU after he graduates?

A couple of observations: 1 tOSU cannot compete with the top programs from a financial perspective right now 2 the culture on the team is top notch. I’ve seen these guys at tournaments follow around and cheer for each other and coach one another. Only other program that I see do this is at the same level is Penn state. 3 there is some inbreeding with the coaching staff and that probably is part by design but maybe not the best for the program. I will say that there isn’t a program not named Penn state that has outperformed Ohio state for the past 10 years when balancing on the mat results with character and consistency. 4 the experience at the Covelli and the facilities are top 4 and I think that is where OSU will remain unless major money or restrictions come in play. 5 where I think OSU can go from here is that it would need to think outside the box and build a wrestling business model and not rely on donors as much since heavy hitters that love wrestling are in short supply.

Although I think Penn State is not gonna happen, there is this guy named Marcus Blaze that will likely hold down 141 for the next 4 years.
