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

Is there a link to the true 3rd matches? I’m curious to see who Andonian wrestles to see if he makes the national team

On another note, somebody posted on the VT board that TJ Stewart had to be driven in a golf cart to his classes by a coach last year because he wouldn’t go otherwise It was also mentioned his grades are so bad, he probably can’t wrestle until the second semester, at presumably NC State.

VT 141 Tampa Tom Crook. NQ as a true freshman then shirted. Had some FS success and interested to see if he can hold 141 all year

Man, I’m a big Hip fan. I don’t blame or fault him for trying to better himself but don’t see that happening at OU.

What happened to Stewart? He’s been in the portal for a long time with zero announcements.

I’m not tracking too close on commits flipping but this is at least two. Losing James hurt big time, Torres not so much.

Losing Torres sucks, especially to Iowa. He lost to Weader recently so maybe he was concerned he wouldn’t likely start at VT

Agreed on TJ at 197. His dad blamed his knee, training partners, ill family member etc for last season’s performance or lack thereof. Weight management was the likely the main problem which he struggled with his freshman year but got hot at the right time and AA’d.

Tampa Tom has a bright future. I’ve only seen Wright wrestle at the SE Open. He cut to 165. He wrestles hard and with a chip on his shoulder but needs to improve technique wise. We will see if he jumps levels year with a full year of D1 experience under his belt. He had the frame to add mass to be a full sized 174
