It’s an upgrade over what we had. It’s good news for us as a program who lately seem to have no steam moving forward. Sorry that I thought it was a big get.I don’t know about a huge commitment. It definitely helps but other programs are adding guns and we are adding knives.
Seems like a big get to me! Don't apologize for being excited. Thanks for digging up the screenshots!It’s an upgrade over what we had. It’s good news for us as a program who lately seem to have no steam moving forward. Sorry that I thought it was a big get.
He was in Dekalb for 5 years and graduated, as an alum of NIU I'd say he more than paid his dues there and wish him the best.Great for you guys, but I hate it when the star of a lesser program transfers and guts that program.
They believed in him, recruited him out of high school, and developed him - and now he says "see ya". That is what I hate about the portal.
Once again, more positivity I love the people on this boardI don’t know about a huge commitment. It definitely helps but other programs are adding guns and we are adding knives.
even me?Once again, more positivity I love the people on this board
Don’t mind @biocowboy he’s still blowing off steam from NCAA’s, he means well. I think it’s a huge addition to the roster bc we honestly had nobody that could fill that hole. Just trying to figure out the Voinovich move and who will fill the 157 spot if Williams goes 149.Once again, more positivity I love the people on this board
I get your frustration with this board. It’s a bad time for Oklahoma State wrestling fandom. Frustrations from football and basketball are trickling over to wrestling.Once again, more positivity I love the people on this board
What’s up with the VV move? Is he frustrated or is it more to do with NIL opportunities?Don’t mind @biocowboy he’s still blowing off steam from NCAA’s, he means well. I think it’s a huge addition to the roster bc we honestly had nobody that could fill that hole. Just trying to figure out the Voinovich move and who will fill the 157 spot if Williams goes 149.

Why would he and then who would go 41? Young just has surgery plus looked like a rs planned before the knee issue.I still think Sammy Alvarez winds up going 149 and he will be an AA candidate there
I personally think Williams currently looks a little small for 157 that's why I assume 149 would be his weight now that VV is out. Maybe he's crushing it in the weight room and adding some lbs in muscle.I still think Sammy Alvarez winds up going 149 and he will be an AA candidate there
I think it's big news for a few reasons. First, we obviously had a huge hole at the weight. Second, it's our 3rd D1 pickup in 3 months - so there's clearly been a change in philosophy regarding transfers. And third, as a returning AA we know Olejnik had suitors - so it means we can still win those recruiting battles.It’s an upgrade over what we had.

It seems like there is some smoke around Plott. Hopefully it’s just rumor. Any word?Alvarez is 141.

Lee?Some won’t want to hear this bc of his ranking and the way his brothers career ended…there have been some positive comments about Cutter from Lee & others
You know what they say... haters gon' hateOnce again, more positivity I love the people on this board
Will never go 149I still think Sammy Alvarez winds up going 149 and he will be an AA candidate there
Did this weight clear out much for next year?
No smoke at all
I’m hearing some smoke about a loophole where Espo has another year of eligibility due to being excessively handsome so he’s coming back next season to wrestle 125It's wild. Haven't even heard a hint about Daton or Plott except for on this message board.
Not to split hairs - there’s been some innuendo on the twits as well.It's wild. Haven't even heard a hint about Daton or Plott except for on this message board.
And Chris Perry is coming back at HWT if he can lose 15 lb.I’m hearing some smoke about a loophole where Espo has another year of eligibility due to being excessively handsome so he’s coming back next season to wrestle 125
Rumor is JO submitted for hardship, but they also wanted a urine test….could’ve been our year finally.And Chris Perry is coming back at HWT if he can lose 15 lb.
His Father and Uncle Matt and Paul Olejnik Wrestled at Cal State Bakersfield in the 1980'sReturning AA and his name is fun to say...double win!
