‘25 & '26 Commits / Rankings

Tell me the instance. Also I talk to people all over the country. You've know idea where I get all my information. I'm 50 years old and have been around this sport my whole life and have been to the NCAA tournament since 1997 and only missed 1 year. It's called building relationships.

You get all your information from Oklahoma st people and messages. I would put my sources up against yours anytime . How many D1 coaches do you talk to?
You have credibility.. that’s what I said. Everyone knows you do. I just think you use that fact to your advantage to win arguments from time to time. Most people aren’t or can’t check your notes. You can say whatever you want to win an argument. And while you have lots of sources that doesn’t mean everyone else is blind and wrong.

I think you’re a good dude and enjoy you being on the board but this is an OSU board… don’t get it twisted or think that we give two shits about the plight of Tom and Terry. There is a reason that 10 out of 10 collegiate fans (outside Iowa) think they’re going about it a shitty way. Iowa and Iowa lackies are the only ones who think it’s the same. Zeke and Kish definitely didn’t think it was run of the mill
Not true go look around other boards. I'm currently defending Brooks because some idiot on the Iowa board is saying he's on roids. I just don't like when people speak about things they don't know so I provide the information I have. All the Iowa pays this and Iowa pays that with the #s pisses me off because it's not good for the sport at all. ADs hear this stuff and when they can't come up with said $ and keep falling further behind we will lose programs. Wrestling loses $ at about 77 universities yet people are said to be paying millions it's just not a good look. And we only hear those #s about Iowa and people will say well they leak it 🤣🤣 that's not true it's that people make them up. With revenue sharing and if NIL doesn't change wrestling will be losing a bunch of programs over the next 5 years
The problem is you have a problem with everyone’s sources. If you want to bash Pat and those types of guys I get it, but Willie himself has been one that has backed and pushed the huge numbers on Buchanan and Bo. Why should everyone believe you over him?

The other problem is that there is always good/well sourced info regarding topics discussed on the board. Some of that info comes directly from the staff or from people close to or in the situation (and no one is going to blast that on the board). So whether you agree or whether that passes your smell test idc because that’s good info.

So we’re left in a situation where you’re right and everyone else is wrong just because you say so…. Even if you’re the only person in a sea of credible people saying what you’re saying (and we have direct info that contradicts.)
 
Raney brothers you're recruiting but with Jax and Vega I'm not sure how that will effect them.
Mocco you were also recruiting but you've Ross now and both will be HWTs so I would say he's not going to Oklahoma st. Iowa and Penn st are both going after Mocco. Ohio st Iowa Penn st are recruiting the Raney brothers.
Illinois has had the inside track with the Raney brothers. That may have changed, but it didn’t change for Bo or Jax. They originally wanted to go to their respective schools and they both ended up choosing those same schools in the end.

FYI 500K isn't a huge # for Buchanan. I never said anything about his #. Now 5 million is a big # and one that's not true.

If Zeke and Kish are mad I wonder what Eggum and Bono think. See how that works both ways.

I will keep from posting any information here and stick to wrestling talk.

Dude just stop. You’ve brought zero info to this board. I’m sure you have some but you’ve brought none. All we get out of you whining about the treatment of Iowa and sanctimonious spankings about how you’re the only person who knows anything. GTFO with that cry baby crap. And if you think there is a world where Tagen/Troy is within light years of being comparable to Parco/Teemer then you’re not near as smart as I had given you credit for.

Also, I think you know the truth about the basset numbers being a hell of a lot closer to 5 mill than not. This is one of those places where you’re purposefully misleading. By stating “Bo isn’t getting millions” while knowing that they are paying millions to the family (which you’ve never denied and can’t legally happen yet anyway) you’re 100% trying to cover tracks. It’s legally only Bo’s money.

Anyway… just drop it or move on. I’m the only reason you’re still on this board anyway. Chase was done with you weeks ago.
 
NO!

@AtownPoke and myself have tried the admin abilities.

@Jeff J. is the only one that can.
I know it's been gone over a bunch here but maybe there's somebody in the non-wrestling forums (yeah I know, those DO exist lol) that is more plugged in to the admin side. Maybe someone with the paid version of Rivals can pop over to The Corral and ask around?

I'll put a thread in the Non-Sports forum, it's not very active but its one of the only ones I have access to w/o a paid subscription to Rivals.

I tagged the owner of the site.

He’ll get to it eventually.

Yeah as Chase said, we’ve both worked with Jeff on it and it’s not an easy fix I guess. It’s definitely not something that the moderator tools help with

Has anyone talked to the Rivals company? It might be as simple as them enabling a feature.

I went to their tech support page to open a support ticket, but it won't load. Lol.
 
The NIL and transfer portal is not against the rules. So the "poaching" and the payments, no matter how much they are, are allowed. So all the you did this and they did that stuff is pointless. Let's reel it in and get back on track.

I will lean on those of you that do have real information though, where does Adam Waters end up at? Any info on this? Correct me if I am wrong, but he does not look like a 197lbder, I was thinking more like an 184lbder in college?

Didn't realize Cowboys were so soft.Appreciate the conversations that you added no information to though. I told you the Parco story let me guess thats not information you already knew that 🤣. I will move along Brodie ✌️

Leaving is up to you. We’re just not going to keep doing this crap where you spank us and call us hypocrites every time someone mentions a potential transfer.

Good lord don't be a hypocrite West, be better than that. Even you have to see the abject hypocrisy of you saying "Cowboys are soft" while at the same time saying you are taking your toys and going home "I won't share any more information on here" and "I will move along". Bro, it's okay though, relax. Stay on the board and contribute. This is a safe space, even for outsiders. But also understand you might *not* be the only one with sources or good information. We all support wrestling here, which is ultimately more important than these rivalries. Enjoy the meet with this weekend and Go Pokes!

Except for your last sentence I loved your post. This is an even handed board. I enjoy the back and forth. I strive to convince you guys that Cael is your lord and savior. DT is a poser. 😇

With all due respect of course... ;)

Do us all a favor, open a new thread with the appropriate title. "Buying Talent" would be a good thread title. You will have two or three readers, reactors, or responders on it. I for one won't be one of them as I am not in elementary school anymore.
 
Looks like Casey's boy will get Dee 😬

Will definitely need to be way better than he has been against Henckel, Burton to remotely be close ...
I watched some of the State dual meet matches. Villasenor had two 1st period pins, Adams won a close decision over an Oklahoma wrestling commitment and then won by a tech. Lockett won by 2 easy pins both times getting a half in then getting on his opponent side and muscling him over for the pin. Guerrero got pinned with a Petersen that Jeter uses frequently. Guerrero got the takedown, Jeter reversed and then pinned Ishmael. I saw where Routledge pinned Stillwater with some ease.

Petree is Stillwater’s 65, so Rutledge faced their backup. Petree bumped to 75, which bumped Lockett to 90 and bumped Teague to 215.
 
Is there anywhere I can see Stillwater’s starting lineup?
106 - Phillips
113 - Ignacio
120 - Ayden Thomas
126 - Eric Casula
132 - Stockton Allen
138 - Julio Aguirre
144 - Gabrial Aguirre or Wiley Wilson
150 - Jaedan Adams
157 - Ishmael Guerrero
165 - Jakoby Petree or Jaxon Mckenzie
175 - Dee
190 - Ethan Teague
215 - Ethene Burns
285 - Jacob Mohler or Daniel Hornbeck

I would think with Rin, Zinklin, and possibly Villasenor 27 we are ok.

I know Waters also visited Mizz, VT, Lehigh to name a few. All those teams have seniors this year I’m sure but no clue what they have waiting.

Just checked

Elam (Mizz) - medical redshir this year so in need of someone for 27. Hard to come in as true freshman at 197 though IMO.

Sasso (VT) - will likely start 26-28 so would sit a year here after a RS year.

Beard (Lehigh) - graduated this year. Not sure who they would use 26/27 but I guess this leaves it open for Waters probably.

Walters (Mich) - will likely start 26-28 so would sit a year here after a RS

Shumate (Ohst) - starter 26/27 so perfect fit after a RS year.

Merrill (OSU) - starter 26/27/28/29. Unlikely fit IMO again unless he RS 27. Olympic shirt 28. 184 29 (depending on who we have there then) then 197 30/31/32. Woah crazy to think about a kid wrestling in 2032.
Obviously Olympic shirt also makes some of the other schools a better fit as well.

So just based off lineups and who I think he may have on his list Ohio st is a good fit at the moment.
There is a possibility we see Merrill at 184 next year.
 
All the Iowa pays this and Iowa pays that with the #s pisses me off because it's not good for the sport at all.
Thats because they do lmao. They literally pay more than anyone. Just stop. You're mad people are saying things but apparently NOT pissed off at the source of the whole problem? Give ol' Bob or TnT a call and tell them its bad for the sport and then get back with us. They are literally the problem and whats worse, no one in Iowa in the know can keep their damn mouths shut lmao! OSU got Jax for a fraction of what Iowa gave Bobo and I'm ecstatic! And you don't think $500k is bad for getting Buchanan for 1 year? With zero chance of Iowa finishing first? Either Bob needs to negotiate better or they have to keep the numbers ridiculously high because nobody wants to wrestle for Iowa and their desperate to remain somewhat relevant.
