Yeah by no means did I ever think of Hayes as an after thought. He was always a tough out when healthy.

Why stop there? Let's get JB and Dake on as volunteer assistants too!

Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma

I notice a lot of us are regularly wasting our days away grumbling about wrestling on here. Has me curious as to what you guys all do for work. I'll start - I work for a non-profit in the daytime and do security work at a bar a few nights a week.

How many schools is he on now? I wonder who is really willing to take the risk, given his track record.

He has a redshirt, so I would not be surprised if that's what he ends up doing. I could see him doing this too. There's something about these RU guys doing what's best for them once they leave New Brunswick. Sammy Alvarez actually managed to not miss weight at Rider after being known almost exclusively for that at RU.

It's really more about how he carries himself. Will constantly pull out the "I'm not a journalist" card when he's proven wrong, but will proudly show off every time a major media outlet quotes him in an article about wrestling. Will egg Iowa on and on but will be up in arms if you point out what he is doing is some weak trolling bait. Claims to be "trying to do right by the kids," but will cry up a storm when a parent tells him not to make posts about her son. Hell, he's even started referring to Dean Peterson as "our last 125lber" because the kid expressed not being happy with how he was sharing his transfer to Iowa and sharing their text messages to anyone who questioned the validity of his statements. To put it bluntly, he is a parasite who feeds off the groundwork of others (whether it be wrestlers, coaches or journalists) in order to appear like a "prominent figure" in this small community because he couldn't do it on the mat.

NOBODY CARES FC THIS IS A PENN STATE-OK STATE PETTY WAR THREAD NOW! Poor Isaac Dean

Started as a sophomore because team needed a HWT. Had a terrible first season, but put the work in going forward because I grew to fall in love with the sport. Cut down to 195 for my final 2 seasons of HS before going HWT. for club team in college. Got into coaching for a few seasons upon graduation. The 10 years I was deeply involved with the sport were some of the most important times of my life. I have not stepped on a mat in over 3 years at this point, and I miss it so much. Maybe one day work/life situations will change to where I can get involved with coaching again. Thank you, wrestling.

Broke out of 2 Anthony Cassar cradles on the way to a swift tech fall.

Cohlton Schultz for obvious, Greco-related reasons.

Doesn't matter; I heard Bo Job is giving Carter his Hodge anyways. Everybody wins now.

This is the category that always interests me. I know life happens, but the cause of flame out is such a wild spectrum. I would say with what happened to Chance, the fact that he got on the podium at all is a miracle. Then you got someone like a Scott Winston who you can add here, who just never found the groove at Rutgers. Then we turn our attention to the Teasdales & Campalottano's of the sport and... yeesh. If you really want to add Chance to this list though, what about Mike Grey? First 4x, undefeated state champ out of NJ; only AA's twice. Feels sort of similar.

I hope he stays online. I love watching the weekly Bo Job Nickal crashout at this point.

As am I. However, I want that official Dean commitment to Iowa more than anybody if it means a Minnow crashout on X.

I completely forgot that he got a post-season nod ever.

Thank you for this insight, Pat.

I may be an RU homer, but I really want this commitment to happen already so it can complete Minnow's meltdown over the kid leaving.

Hope Hendrickson is ready to cut down to Carter's custom weight class.

And now we wait for C-Star to chime in.

Yeah these are both good options. Robert Howard is another name that comes to mind for me.

Ok, but who is Cael's biggest bust?

Man, NCAA's were just barely over a week ago...

The EVIL Penn State continues to crush the dreams of starry-eyed recruits with INSANE transfer portal grabs.

Yeah, I think so. I lurk some of the aforementioned Rivals forms, and they are just too cringe to consider making an account for. Only good if you want area-specific gossip on the given school.
