This is an Internet forum. It is the best, sometimes only, acceptable place for conjecture assertions and outrage. I will continue to vilify. Though I do understand what you’re trying to say. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At some point, everyone has been rumored to Iowa. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oklahoma state would make so much more sense. Especially if Welsh still wants to go 174 and Lockett can make 165 for at least a year or two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m glad I wasn’t the only guy to see him! I thought the monocle was a little on the nose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Iowa and Michigan get bad raps for always having transfers, and they often do, but for the most part their transfers are grad transfers or guys that hit the portal when their coaches left (Franek & Caliendo leaving NDSU because Kish took the OU job, for example). Penn State still holds the title for most obvious poaching job in all of college wrestling, after Minnesota coached Aaron Nagao up to a great season and a 5th place finish, followed by being offered hundreds of thousands to transfer at that very NCAA tournament by some booster, and jumping ship. PSU doesn’t do it as often, but are the most blatant poachers out there when there’s someone they want. Call me bitter because he was poached from my team, idc. It’s still what happened.

stop this. he’s not leaving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It made sense for Dean, it makes sense for Welsh, it’s just kinda meh for the team in terms of tournament scoring. He makes them barely better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welsh to PSU for what weight??? 184 so Ryder can sit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

NDSU 125 Witt rFr 133 O’Brien rFr 141 Olson rFr 149 Drexler Jr returning AA 157 Petersen rJr 165 Greenley rSo 174 Magayna rFr 184 Brenot rSo returning blood round 197 Glover rSo HWT Blackburn rJr Really young team, I’m sure they’ll take transfers as they can get them. However, after this team lost 15+ to the portal last year I like what Obe is building. Have to keep Drexler and Brenot in house. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

McEnelly is not leaving. I’d love to see Riddle be our 165 next year with Millard at 157. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No! Silly question! Kidding idk. I see them as a package deal I guess. They’re probably both best suited for 197, and they went together knowing one would have to go to a weight he’s worse at so they could be together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gophers need a 133. This is one I could see them getting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Because the other is not Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t think he’s going to. But the offers are flying around lol. To be expected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn’t think 184 would be either, but trust me, they’re trying $$$ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Minnesota 125 Flynn 133 Transfer (Nagao please) 141 Vombaur (Wells redshirt) 149 Roberts/Transfer 157 Millard 165 Sparks med shirt or Riddle cut down from 174. I’d prefer Riddle. 174 Whiting 184 McEnelly 197 Nelson HWT Tabor/Hopke wrestle off winner. I’d prefer a one year stop gap to let Hopke recover from a season ending injury and grow into the weight more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This team is going to be right at the 30 man roster limit. They’ll have to start making cuts if they get too many transfers in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was trying to think of wrestlers who are competing in other sports and he was the first to come to mind, but you’re right him specifically wasn’t a good example lol. Sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not dumb. They didn’t post it for nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did they pull that post? I’m not seeing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I now see why I’m struggling to see the outrage. I don’t view someone doing something else with their life, regardless of how good they are at what they’re currently doing, as demeaning it. Sometimes people just want to do something else especially at 22 years old. I think it’s perfectly rational to not like Gable because of his personality, his off the mat behavior, his choice of school, whatever. I can see and understand those reasons, I don’t think I even like him very much personally. But hating him for taking two seasons off to explore other avenues is odd to me.

If he was still similar age to the competition and still had eligibility, of course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why is it different if they’re not as good? Why is it different if it’s college vs senior level? Genuinely don’t understand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m confused by this line of thinking. So if tomorrow Bo Nickal decided he actually wanted to make a run at the world team next cycle, should we all root against him? Mitch McKee went MMA after college. If he wanted to wrestle at the US Open next year, is he instantly a villain? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I never said they shouldn’t. I also don’t fault anyone who has the capacity to chase what they’ve always wanted to do for actually chasing it. He had wanted WWE since he was a kid and said that for years. It didn’t work out, so be it. I hope he sticks with wrestling after this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
