Re: Transfer portal

For the sake of discussion, why not Kasak take his redshirt year, Bartlett returns for his final season (since Starocci and Kirkvliet have already announced they are coming back) and Van Ness and Kasak split 141-149 the next year. Of course, Penn State will continue to bring in top talent in the me...

Re: Rylan Rogers

Dave Craig is a wrestler Lehigh had who likely just did not have the mental aspect of performing at an absolute peak every match. Coming out of FL in his career he would not have had as many high pressure bouts as a PA wrestler year in and year out. The depth of talent was not there. Once he got to...

Re: U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS

He is doing it. By way of themat.com Repechage #1 – WIN Alibeg Alibegov (Bahrain), fall, 2:37 Retherford opened up the scoring at the 45-second mark with a front headlock toss for four points. He was countered with exposure by Alibegov during the exchange, resulting in a 4-2 score in favor of Rethe...

Need a 165 in a bad way if Mays stays as well.

Re: Building on Success

I would think there is a good chance Barraclough goes to OK State now if they want/need him.........same with other big names in portal that fit their needs......OK State will want to make a splash in his first year and they have deep pockets.......

Re: Columbia Head Coach Opening

There have been people who sold all they own to by lottery tickets. And won, Very few people. So of course some people who went to for profits have been success. It was 10,000s of thousands of jobs at Fortune 500. 10,000s of thousands… I’d like to think I’m a pretty smart guy, but I’m having diffic...

Re: U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS

One of the biggest injustices in sports = the halving of men's wrestling at the Olympics. Not only is it an original Olympic sport, but it actually has a vibrant community as a sport that is Olympic-centric (as opposed to something like Boxing where Olympics is not the primary focus). Just so incre...
