The VT board poster said VT has offered Bo more $ than Nebraska. Not sure it’s true though or the poster is being dramatic

But Vent does shoot during his matches. Spratley rarely does.

Ventresca. Spratley took zero shots because the refs let him get away with being in defense mode the whole match. He beat Robinson once and maybe twice, I’m too tired to look.

I’m surprised Iowa hasn’t scooped him up. He’d fit right in.

Wonder if Stewart not going to the pack was his decision or the pack’s? He’s been in the portal since March so something is definitely up.

I think he was from VA but MD might have been a possibility too. Good call on Morgan St.

Agreed. He’s definitely the best of the remaining portal dudes. Hopefully he can put the past behind him and get a fresh start somewhere else. From my understanding, he burnt too many bridges to return to VT even if he wanted to. His dad’s antics both public facing and behind the scenes tainted his standing on the college scene to a point that it’ll be an uphill climb that’s gonna be tough to recover from. I wish him the best of luck where ever he lands.

It’ll be interesting to see where he lands. Dude had the tools to be successful again. Not sure a program change was needed to get back to AA level but understand his mom was sick and could have impacted him emotionally through last season along with other reasons reported on the hokie board.

Did TJ Stewart ever sign with anyone? He went in the portal really early but I haven’t heard that he landed anywhere

Yes, VT didn’t make Melvin’s cut.

Good point. The huskers are a solid program, with a great coach and an attractive landing spot. I’m not sure how much AJ being there would influence Bo’s decision though.

He might be. He graduated but may be sticking around to train FS

Agree 100%. VT/ACC would be a great fit for him. His profile, both on and off the mat would likely skyrocket. In the B10 or 12, he’d be just another really good wrestler,

What is the status on Bo’s college choice? This round had way less publicity than his first cycle. Chatter seems to indicate Nebraska as a likely favorite vs Ok State and PSU From a biased standpoint, VT is probably a better choice if he wants to be a program changer. He could slot in after Henson graduates and would get to train with Henson since he’ll likely be around Blacksburg to train for the next Olympic cycle. If I was a rising 149 college prospect, I’d jump at the opportunity to train with Henson who will end up as one of the top 149 guys in history.

VT was in his final 3 choices or whatever the number was. Henson graduates next year but it sticking around to train for the Olympic cycle and then on to mma. He’d be a great partner for Bo
