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.

Under the radar guys coming off redshirt?

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
-
That’ll be a good roster battle between Desiante and Wright. I’d say it will be up for grabs until the January unless there’s a weight change for either guy
-
Wonder what weight the UTC dude slots, 174 or 184? Hopefully VT snags a full sized 184 before next season with Stewart’s departure. I’m hearing VT has zero interest in wanting him back if the portal doesn’t pan out.
-
The VT board has a poster implying it might be Iowa State.
-
I think wrestlestat had Hip penciled in at 165 for next season’s very early rankings fwiw. Hate to see him go though. His ceiling is so high
-
A pack fan who posts occasionally on the VT board said TJ to nc state is a real possibility. Also said Fish could end up at VT but there is no guarantee either go where rumored. He also some other big names are being thrown around of possible transfers too but no hints just yet.
-
That’s interesting. I don’t blame his dad for trying to secure what he can for his sons but man, he seems to be hurting them with his toxic behavior.
-
Agreed. He did a minor version of his public stunt right after his AA year except without entering the portal. I assume TJ secured something to stay at VT but no clue. Honestly, TJ should have entered the portal then. I doubt his appeal is too high now with a lackluster performance this past season. His dad left money on the table for TJ until and if he ever returns his freshman year level
-
I’m gonna speculate that once the smoke clears, Robie and Co will be glad TJ is gone. Probably a great kid but daddy Stew is not doing him any favors
-
I’d guess daddy stew will not be posting there much longer. Once it’s confirmed, he’ll probably get blasted for the jerk and JV sports agent he pretends to be
-
Do they get into arguments with their fans on the board?
-
Oh, I hope this is soooo true. Daddy Stewart has been amping up his drama on the VT forum. I still can’t actually believe what he posts and how often. Do other teams have parents who post to their team’s fanbase???
-
That sounds like a good deal for the athlete. I guess that makes the coaches job somewhat tougher to know his lineups
-
Once an athlete goes in the portal, does his current team have to keep the athlete on the roster if the athlete doesn’t sign with another university?
-
Drama follows daddy Stewart, if there is no drama around he’ll create it. Based on one of his latest posts, the hidden cryptic message appears to indicate damage control for the Stewart brand.
-
If Fish ends up at VT that would definitely increase the friction for this dual. For what it’s worth daddy Stewart is denying TJ is going to the pack. Not sure what to believe at this point. Maybe his options are quite what he thought they would be as an individual or the package deal thing is holding him back.
-
I see some deleted posts. Guess daddy Stewart and others were ready to throw hands.
