Updated stats as of 8/1: 309 wrestlers entered the transfer portal (which represents about 10-11% of all D1 wrestlers) this off-season. 179 wrestlers that entered the transfer portal and changed teams 68 wrestlers that had entered the transfer portal, haven't yet found a new home, and are still on their old roster 47 wrestlers that had entered the transfer portal, and are no longer on an active roster of any team. 13 wrestlers that entered the transfer portal but decided to remain with their previous team 2 wrestlers that entered the transfer portal, but decided to move on from wrestling

It was impressive that he appeared to be completely miserable throughout the entire season. Grimacing and scowling through each dominating victory. Body emaciated. Great commitment to the weight cut.

Not yet. There were some earlier rumors about him ending up at NC State, but so far that hasn't happened.

Best of those not already mentioned: Beric Jordan Louie Gill Ezekiel Witt

Swiderski at 74 - makes me think he will be challenging Teague for 157

Likewise, I was surprised at the lack of promotion and discussion on this. Maybe it was something that just came together at the last minute.

Looks like it isn't even being broadcast. What a missed opportunity!

Anyone know how we can watch?

Not at Lock Haven but at Northern Colorado Nickerson left Greeley for West Point and Ware was hired as the new HC for Northern Colorado

not before this one

Wondering is one thing, but to state that [something] is obvious is different to me.

Other than deep cynicism, what would prompt you to think that? Is there something obvious I'm missing? Because otherwise it seems like this second incident could easily be explained as a reaction to the first incident (guns for protection, THC vapes for PTSD). The administrative error of not having the car registered just compounding it all. But I would prefer to give more benefit of the doubt than what you have done - unless we know something more about it than what was reported.

that's my understanding. that you make a deal with a bail bond - they pay off the amount today and if you don't show up for your court date, they/you will be on the hook for the full amount. as long as you do as you are supposed to and show up where you are supposed to, you won't ever have to pay 100% bail.

The lack of backlash to this thread is a testament to our collective appreciation for the dear chap WKN

I had never watched AGON and am not familiar with the pro international leagues. I will have to check them out. Maybe some old matches on YouTube

Speaking of the ones which are not scripted of course. Right now, it seems like we have three primary ones which are: Real American Freestyle: Modified version of freestyle, broadcast on Fox Nation CLAW: rules are hybrid of freestyle and folkstyle with a few other tweaks like the pilons; broadcast on YouTube and FloWrestling Championship Wrestling Association: 9 minute matches of folks style - three minute periods. Broadcast on Rokfin I'm happy the those that are taking these business risks on behalf of wrestling are adhering to game theory and attempting different approaches. Maybe we can learn something about how to grow wrestling into a professional sport by watching the evolution of these leagues as well as remembering those that came before them. I have a personal bias toward folkstyle, but I'm not too insistent that the product be one style vs another. I think production value and quality of wrestlers will make the biggest different to me personally. I'm looking forward to following all three

I'm hoping that he puts this issue behind him and ultimately does become a coach at Lehigh. It may take some time though.

Good question. Ivy League cannot even offer athletic scholarships so maybe this is focused more on endowing the coaching positions and building state of the art facilities

Great news for the Quakers

Coming out of the Hawkeye forum: a creative new way to gain another redshirt year may be applied to Gabe Arnold. It sounds like he may be doing one year at an Iowa JUCO and then three years back at Iowa. This becomes possible after the recent ruling that JUCO years do not count against D1 eligibility. We dont know if they are actually going through with this, but its an interesting idea.
