  1. Doesn't really fit in this thread but Kurt Phipps is doing his masters in structural engineering at NC State - while noting that he is both: 1) Out of eligibility but 2) Totally down to help out with the program while he is there Good on the young man.
  2. At 149, they have three guys ahead of him (Jamison, Swiderski, Travis) with at least one of those guys being pressured to go up. And maybe another to go down. Either way, there is no starting spot for Young at OK St. (barring injury)
  3. He's going to have much better training partners on the team: Spratley, Hughes, Sakamoto, McComas and then RBY and Fix at the RTC. I think the will challenge for a title at 133.
  4. He would definitely have a shot - I wouldn't favor him over Barbosa or Ford though. That's not to say he wouldn't be a good addition to the team.
  5. Rutgers Projected 125: Ayden Smith (maybe Mason Gibson cuts down and challenges him) 133: Dylan Shawver 141: Joey Olivieri 149: Andrew Clark 157: Conner Harer 165: Andrew Barbosa 174: Ryan Ford 184: Lenny Pinto 197: Shane Cartagena-Walsh 285: John O'Donnell (rumor about an yet to be named heavyweight that could be joining, per rutgers forum)
  6. since we have your attention as a Husker fan - who do you see winning out between Koehler and Laurisden? Have they been close in the room?
  7. Kennedy could slide into 165 in that scenario -
  8. If Pinto goes to Rutgers like Willy predicts, then they will have five wrestlers and two coaches from district eleven. Ayden Smith (NDGP) Brandan Chletsos (NDGP) Tahir Parkins (Nazareth) Dagen Condomitti (Northampton) Lenny Pinto (Stroudsburg) Steve Mytych (Northampton) Mikey Labriola (Becahi)
  9. Parker is a returning bloodround guy who happens to be someone that Kish brought with him from ND State. So I dont see him being replaced. Maybe Parker bumps up to 197 and Bradley Hill steps back from the starting lineup? Few different possibilities I suppose.
  10. Brian Soldano to Oklahoma? He must be moving down to 174 or taking a redshirt this year while Parker completes his senior year
  11. Blake Boarman from Chattanooga in the portal. Whispers of him possibly becoming a Hoosier (he's from Indiana)
  12. So Sacred Heart opted in? And will be cutting 13 students who were previously paying close to full tuition? odd
  13. if you wouldn't mind educating me what would that mean? allowance for larger roster with less revenue sharing? I honestly have no clue
  14. Wrestling was more than just a sport to me—it was the bedrock of who I became. It gave me the mental and physical strength to face life’s challenges, to push through, and to carve out my place in the world. Without it, I might not have the same resilience, the same drive, or the same ability to handle adversity. It was a key part of my identity, and that’s something powerful to recognize.
  15. Facundo seems to have a bigger frame (and Lockett the higher ceiling) but otherwise not sure. Lockett is really good though. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he were to defeat Mesenbrink at some point
  16. even before NIL - I remember seeing a documentary about 90s college football players and there were several of them that got sent through - graduating college - and into the NFL - without even being able to read at an elementary school level.
  17. not to mention the housing and transportation costs in the table are estimates for the average student. if they are being provided housing that the school already owns and cars that boosters are willing to supply, and those things happen to be fancy condos and souped up pickup trucks, then the soft dollar amount of the transaction increases significantly. The actual amount of cash transacted here is likely to be less than half of what is being stated.
  18. Add Missouri and NC State as teams that do not typically tap into the portal, but consistently put out a great team
  19. Wow he looked like a large 125 that struggled to stay healthy. 133 will be fun to see if hes able to let it fly a bit more.
  20. Odd - any idea of where he would land?
  21. I bet that these figures floating around are most likely inclusive of tuition, housing, use of cars from some local dealership, etc. Tuition, room, and board for out of state at Iowa is just about 50K.
