I just haven't seen many incoming transfer into Utah Valley the last five years - even from those that were from Utah.

Now WS is showing Jack Maida up to 141 from 125 and the homey Cael McIntyre at 133. With both Leete and Lopez in redshirts

Lots of guys dropping from teams into the Unattached category. Latest is Drexel heavyweight Billy Brosko

another Northern Colorado wrestler removed from roster and becomes unattached: 197 lb Noah Pettigrew. Meanwhile, Ferrari posting teasers about being back

sounds like a french lamb dish in which red wine reduction and chopped shallots are used

Mahkyi Smith from Cal Baptist to Utah Valley. Adam Hall effect in full force

Frankie McNeary from Rider to Sacred Heart

Congrats on the house dude!

Will VomBaur from Air Force (via Northern Colorado where he never formally joined the team) has transferred to Utah Valley

Jared Tracey, a Junior 197 from LIU is transferring to Cornerstone University

Jacob Yawn, who amassed a 0-1 record against D1 opponents over his four years at Cornell has transferred to North Carolina - back with a familiar head coach.

no clue. he could have been angered by the courting of Ferrari. or by the pot stirring on twitter by @nhs67 he also be opening up a Greeley branch of the Mastrogiovanni family Zoo franchise

Travis Mastro gone from Northern Colorado's roster

I had seen this video when it first made the rounds on twitter. Pretty wild. You can see why its hard to convince people to become a ref (among other reasons)

I hope its Stutzman although I'm not sure if that boat has sailed or if there could be appetite for a reunion. I don't think we need to worry about it being a repeat situation. And if so, they both did well together. But "a man never walks in the same river twice. He's not the same man and its not the same river"

To add a little more color in case folks around the country weren't following the PA college scene: To benefit from economies of scale, the state colleges of Pennsylvania are due to consolidate into two: 1) Pennsylvania Western University (Penn West): Edinboro, Clarion, California 2) Commonwealth University: Lock Haven, Bloomsburg, Mansfield There was originally talk about the campuses maintaining separate athletic identities, but knowing administrators and bureaucrats, I could see them being consolidated as well (this is pessimistic speculation so don't mind me)

I'm passing on some excellent knowledge from @gimpeltf that I had saved down on my desktop: "1. Back in the day (40s-50s in particular) the top 4 wrestling colleges in the state sent their coaches out to local high schools to give clinics as the sport was in its HS infancy. Those areas where the colleges were became the states hot spots. One might surprise you. In no particular order- A. Western Pa (WPIAL)- Pitt (Rex Peery) B. North Central Pa- Penn State (Doc Speidel) C Eastern Pa- Lehigh (Sheridan/Leeman) D. South Central Pa- F&M (Believe it or not- they were among the top teams in the country back in the day) (Uncle Charley Mayser) 2. The State College system. Used to be known as the State Teachers Colleges. Several of them have dropped over the years. The PSAC was never a qualifying conference but the league tournament was one of the best in the country. So what would happen is that a kid would wrestle in HS, go to one of these colleges to wrestle and to become a teacher. Would get a job as a teacher and a coach and the cycle would continue in an upward motion." Really goes to show how PA became so good at wrestling in the first place and how PSAC (State Teachers Colleges) deserves a cherished place in wrestling history as a conference.

My rationale for hoping this thread is moved to the non-wrestling board: 1) Its not about wrestling 2) I can hear idiots argue about this stuff anywhere I go and the points mentioned here are identical 3) It has made me think worse of people who I otherwise respected from conversations about wrestling. (not because of their political opinion, but because of how quickly they are willing to abandon decorum when alternate views are presented). 4) I make a decent effort to avoid thinking about things I don't want to and this thread keeps popping up in a place where I don't intuitively expect it. I will otherwise just keep trying to unsuccessfully ignore it lol

Yes I heard he and Molinaro interviewed. And that there was some speculation about the possibility of New Jersey native James Green. Otherwise, no clue.

Molinaro?

I've watched the industry of investment management transform in such a way where executives openly talk about taking the weekend to eat a couple gummies and sink into their coach to relax.

So Lock Haven may be open to guys for second chances (similar in a way to Rider, and increasingly, Northern Colorado) but they have also demonstrated at least one example of discipline for bad behavior. In last year's MAC championships, Lock Haven HWT Isaac Reid threw punches at Terrese Aaron from Northern Illinois. (https://getsomemaction.com/news/2023/3/4/mac-suspends-lock-haven-wrestling-student-athlete.aspx) The following season (the one that just ended in March) he was demoted to backup in place of struggling sophomore Ethan Miller, who went 5-22 on the season as Reid exhausted the last of eligibility as a backup after having been a national qualifier in 2022. Anthony Noto was accused of making racially derogatory remarks to teammate Donald Cates and was sent packing by Pop. We don't hear reports about whether people are making progress in that regard, so I don't have any indication as to whether he has been on better behavior (or even the validity of the event in the first place). He did have a blow up at Pop in the matchup against NC State two years ago. Long way of saying that Lock Haven may not be the place for the Ferraris though if they are not borderline bad boys and are actual criminals.

I don't have a very good idea of what kind of school it is honestly. I can see that they have Justin Phillips who transferred in from Virginia which is another top school academically I think on par with Duke
