Stewart’s daddy said they would have transferred if the AJ’s brother would have signed with VT. He said something to the effect of bad blood while they were all at Blair. So not sure TJ lands there

It sounds like Rider’s Isaac Dean to VT to fill their 184 vacant slot.

His dad was horrible on the VT forum after TJ got AA. He was posting comments that “we” aren’t sure TJ would come back to VT after he AA’d, said something to the effect he needed “respect”, whatever that means. He basically was acting like he was a sports agent in a very public way. It wasn’t too well received by many of the VT fans. Then this past preseason, he posted that the Mizzou kid didn’t stand a chance against TJ, and he lost by MD. He also said the only person who could beat TJ at 184 was himself. That didn’t age well…

Nothing but pure daddy drama with that one. The risk is not worth the reward, especially with a 500 or so win percentage this past year.

Good point. I’m man enough to admit I was wrong.

To most VT fans, TJ leaving isn’t a shocker. He was a shell of his former self this season. It was reported a preseason injury hampered his results but as the season went on, something else appeared to lacking on his part

Oh honey, I’m not bitter the kid is maximizing his opportunities, like I already said. It’s the way he conducted himself. And I still say you shouldn’t procreate or be involved with mentoring. Commitment and allegiance used to mean something. Go ahead, call me another name, you’ll sleep better and be happier person, right?

Don’t be a drama queen and keyboard commando, princess

Don’t be all Confucius like without reading the full chain. He chose to engage, not me

If you don’t see the problem that the kid created, not by getting “paid” but the manner in which he did it, then you are clueless and hopefully not procreating or raising or mentoring boys to be men. Your demeanor speaks volume.

He’s a stud. Props to him and this is coming from a VT fan. I think he was never a state champ either but was a high placer. Coach Pops deserves credit for scouting and developing. He and Eddie had a couple battles this year and I look forward to seeing them scrap next year. Robinson won when it mattered most

Agree but there’s a right way to do the recruiting process and committing and backing out isn’t it. The coaches invested a ton of time in getting him to commit and likely passed on other recruits interested in VT.

As a VT fan and more importantly, the sport of college wrestling, this sucks. Don’t verbal and then sell out to the highest bidder. That is disingenuous and not respectful to the program you verbally committed to.

I’m a VT fan but also realistic, it looked like a TD to me.

I’d say Robinson will be a hot commodity in the off season and would likely be able to get paid if he wants to leave NC State.

Hopefully the rules committee changes the rules to award the offensive wrestlers soon in a way that quantifies and specifies what lack offense is. No shots but Lovett isn’t a good look for the sport

Spratley stalled his whole match against Ventresca. Zero shots and caught Eddie with a reattack.

Ha!!! Drama queen got muted

He’d be a good fit at VT at either weight.

Eddie V. That’s a homer pick but he’s wrestling really well the last part of the season. The second day weigh in may slow down the WVU kid, hopefully.

Trent has done a great job. He also did very well at the ACC tournament. Admittedly, I thought he would show preference to NC State but he was composed and professional with no noticeable biases. And I’m a VT fan

Ventresca had one more season at VT after this year. If Diahomihalis is interested in 133, VT might be a good option

Sounds like a confirmed

I don’t follow Northern Colorado. Did he duck or was he injured?

How in the world is Allirez the 8 seed? Dude is 18-1.
