I have so much respect of Mytych, but from Dean Peterson's perspective, no better place to wrestle as a light weight. I expect him to have a top five finish next year if it all goes through with him and Iowa

Hopefully medicine has advanced since we were young, but I had the same shoulder issues he did - two failed surgeries - and the shoulder still bothers me to this day which is several decades later. Hope that he can find a way to heal just for the sake of living a comfortable life after wrestling

For some reason I imagined him taking a starting spot on a MAC school after all of the years he's put in as a dedicated backup. But we all want slightly different things out of the sport, so no judgement from me. If Spratley had an injury, Steen would have to be next man up. Also Spratley might enjoy taking off a couple of duals to take a break from cutting weight. Steen seems like a no-nonsense guy and could be a good cultural addition for what Taylor is looking to mold.

maybe others already mentioned it but Gary Steen to Oklahoma State which is a surprise for me.

@wrestlingfan22 exactly like that haha! is Lledo really going to Edinboro? Good fit for him

would be funny if you guys were breaking transfer news hidden somewhere in those paragraphs for people to find like a where's waldo

I could see Vince Santaniello going to ASU after fellow Brick alum David Szuba did the same. I believe the NIL director for ASU is from Brick

I had higher expectations for Thompson after completing his RS Year under a new staff. I take it that optimism is not widely shared?

If it is a portal guy, I think it will be someone who hasn't yet entered the portal yet. Namely one of: Isaac Trumble, Braxton Amos, or potentially Feldman although PSU seems more logical for him.

Starting lineup something like this? 125: Troy Spratley 133: Hughes / McComas / Sakamoto 141: Casey Swiderski 149: Tagen Jamison 157: Teague Travis 165: Alex Facundo or Ladarion Lockett 174: Ladarion Lockett or Alex Facundo 184: Brayden Thompson 197: Cody Merrill 285: Konner Doucet

Happy to see this - he wasn't going to find a spot at PSU, but OK St. is building something special and he can be a part of that. I think he can be effective at both 165 and 174.

I will also still keep calling it the Dapper Dan!

Sounds like Brock Herman also in the portal

It's interesting because I don't invest in personal luxuries at all - but if you are someone that likes these things, then it makes a huge difference where and how you spend your cash. for example - fine watches like Rolex and Tag Heuer can actually appreciate in value in many cases, while in most cases providing a form of capital preservation while also having the benefits of a nice watch. but if you see someone in a brand new car, these are notoriously bad investments and a very poor form of capital preservation. in both cases, you might be able to buy something that allows you to "look cool" - but the impact on your asset management is materially different
