    Big 12 Brackets

    Reece is a tough guy to seed. Lost to #7 and #8, beat #1, #4 and #5. You could make the argument that he should jump 4 and 5, but you could also make the same argument that he should fall behind 7 and 8. 174 is another strange weight to seed. Joe beat Colbray, Colbray beat Steiert and...

    Flo Rankings 1/27

    I think you're overestimating Geer's potential at 184. Obviously, Zahid is the man and you've got a young influx of talent with Bolen, Hidlay, Deprez, Assad, and Brooks (all underclassmen) to go with Lujan and Venz as AA level talent. Deprez beat Geer 10-0 last time they met (2 years ago, both...

    Flo Rankings 1/27

    197 is WEAK, too. Geer had a rough Scuffle, but he still only lost to Laird (9th in the CR) and Beard (big time recruit for Penn State). He has a win over #14 Woodley from Oklahoma. If he can add just a little weight and continue to adjust, he can AA at 197. 5-9 in the CR (Geer is 10) were...

    getting excited..

    What Smith actually said (you can see it here: https://pistolsfiringblog.com/videos-john-smith-and-nick-piccininni-talk-opening-weekend-of-duals/) is that there are things that need to be taken care of before getting on the mat...like school. He expects Joe and G to travel with the team this...

    And this is already illegal under NCAA rules. Current student athletes are only allowed to be paid the going rate: From the NCAA Manual 13.12.2 Employment at Camp or Clinic. 13.12.2.1 Student-Athletes. A student-athlete may be employed in any sports camp or clinic, provided compensation is...

    I really want to get them both and bump one to HWT. The dream scenario, IMO.

    Cowboy RTC

    What Penn State is allegedly doing is already illegal under NCAA rules if anyone can actually prove it. I have yet to hear any proposals that can effectively prevent that sort of loophole. You could move the RTCs off campus and prevent anyone on an NCAA staff from working there, but all that...

    2 US wrestlers in Dogu finals

    Six. Forrest Molinari also won gold for Team USA.

    Fix not at Yasar

    He would not have had to pay his own way. USA Wrestling is allowed to pay expenses without running afoul of NCAA rules. Fix will also be allowed to receive his national team stipend and any medal money he might earn at the World Championships.

    RTC thought

    As much as the RTC structure is new, the use of post-grad wrestling clubs to enhance recruiting/training isn't new to college wrestling at all. The Hawkeye Wrestling Club has been around since 1973. Sunkist Kids since 1976. The Nittany Lion Wrestling Club was founded in the early 90s. The Gator...

    RTC thought

    Recruits cannot be promised any sort of compensation that is contingent on picking a particular school. That would be an NCAA violation and while many have alleged that to be happening, there is no proof of that to this point. As has been pointed out, many wrestlers have gone to one school, then...

    thoughts on this year and next year

    I hate to say it because I really like Boo and he deserves a healthy season more than anyone, but counting on him is a huge gamble. I've been there with multiple shoulder separations, a surgery to fix it, and then another separation (my case). That injury is often a career ender. I know he is...

    It's March MATness

    Confirmed as the NCAA just sent out the new bracket. Bump 15-33 up a spot and add Trey Chalifoux (Army) as the new 33. Picc's second round, assuming a first round win, is the winner of Elijah Oliver (Indiana) and Zeke Moisey (Nebraska).

    It's March MATness

    The most difficult part of finding a path for Oklahoma State to beat Penn State is that the Nittany Lions have been better than any other team at outperforming their seeds since Cael arrived. The Cowboys have a ton of potential as has already been discussed in this thread and I can't wait to see...

    #1 Seeds

    He is at 50% against Cassar, but Steveson has him on win % and H2H. If Gable also has quality wins, he would beat White if he is ahead of him in the CR and be 50% if not because QW splits 15 and 5 if both guys have at least one win over someone else in the field. So, even in the seeding...
