  1. I heard from @Husker_Du on Basch-A-Mania podcast that Crookham/McGonagle had (or are having) a closed door wrestle off and the results are being kept pretty hush-hush.
  2. This, this is the take right here. Spot on.
  3. I found that interesting also. I figured they'd try to cut him down to 149 to make room for Steed at 157.
  4. Uh I don't think so. Thought he redshirted last year at Cal Bap? WrestleStat shows he already redshirted.
  5. Guess that puts him at 165. Unless PSU is sending a potential backup to the All-Star Classic?
  6. So we're all operating under the assumption that Haines is the guy for Penn State at 157 then? Does that mean Messenbrink is Olyshirt or going 165?
  7. They were hammers in HS. Seems like they've only progressed. Good for them and good for ISU.
  8. Both are big news to enter the portal. Just wanted to clarify.
  9. I doubt Cunningham would leave Penn State for UNC. Even if it means a HC job.
  10. Was college teammates, and good friends, with Angelo Silvestro in college. You are correct, Mr. Silvestro is a great dude. Whole family is good people.
  11. Not sure about the streak. But can confirm he was Blair's only AA this season.
  12. We keep a good circle of good people man. You know that.
  13. Agree with you on Tyus. He scraps hard. Chronic, serious, shoulder injuries forced Ruffin into early retirement. Unfortunate given how talented he was.
  14. Yes, he's a stud. 2x qualifier now. Scraps hard. Glad to know there's a fellow SIUE fan in the building.
  15. As an SIUE alum, and a coach of this kid, very excited about Porter Matecki (Whitfield School, MO) to SIUE. 3x MO Class 3 Champ. Made the round of 12 at Super 32 last year @ #120. Beat Gauge Botero (2022 Fargo 3rd), Ashton Jackson (C/o 2023 Purdue signee), and Nikade Zinkin (Cali state medalist; top 20 by MatScouts). Both losses came to Jax Forrest (12-4 in Round of 32 & 9-6 in bloodround). Kid is a gamer. Very excited about/for him.
  16. Even better for them. Ley/Cerniglia split 157/165. Wask at 174.
  17. Apologies. I thought Cerniglia was done. Little logjam they'll have there.
  18. Jon Ley, 2x Super 32 top 4, as well. I imagine they'll want both he and Wask in the lineup. One at 157 and one at 165.
  19. You are correct Zan is a big Greco guy. When Zan was getting recruited OU had Sam Hazewinkel on staff, who made many Greco world teams. He and Zan had a good relationship. Not saying that was the only reason he went there, but I do know that helped.
  20. Agreed. I think it's more likely Jamison mans 141, with Williams/Alvarez battling for 149 and the loser of Williams/Alvarez goes 157 to compete with Mirzo (Juco transfer). No insight, just a guess.
  21. SIUE alum here. Yes, McKiernan is done.
  22. Knowing Zan, I doubt this played into his decision. He's not afraid of competition. I would imagine he chose the place that he felt gave him the best opportunity to achieve his goals on and off the mat.
  23. I don't want to speak for Zan or his family. But, from the outside looking in, training with Seth Gross/Eric Barnett doesn't seem like a bad situation for an incoming freshman.
  24. Not sure of Wisco's roster/incoming recruiting class. But I would not bet against him starting as a true frosh. Kid has 'it'.
