Big 12’s.

Wyatt has a shot at getting an at large bid now. He was #24 in the last coaches ranking and #26 in the last RPI. He probably drops in both, but the win over Fernandes might get him in.
I’d say let’s see how VV finishes in his first NCAA tournament before we judge him. Many great cowboys took their lumps their RS freshman year.
I agree but most high level show out by conference
True but I am trying to figure out like all others how we add number 35.PSU not going anywhere
I'm still all in on VV. Love the kids motor, doesn't wrestle scared. Needs to dial in the focus and sticking with the game plan as he typically has a moment each match where he tries something that doesn't work or lets his guard down and gives us some stupid points. I do think age and experience will help. Skill his there, get the head game there and he's an AA.
Thought we've wrestled well this week and performed so much better than last year.
Had to fill quite a few holes in the lineup.

No, Voinovich is not Nick Lee - he’s also far from one of OSU’s problems and could easily be an important piece of #35.
VV lost because he can’t finish his shots and gets countered bc his scrambling skills aren’t great. Moore didn’t take 1 shot on him and I don’t recall Mauller either. But I do like him and think he will improve to eventual AA
Penn State has definitely set a higher bar for freshman over the past 10 years. And AJ and Gable Steveson, etc. I don’t think VV was at that level walking onto campus. My expectation is that guys are AAs by the end of their 2nd year. Like Plott, Chris Perry, John Smith, etc. anything above that and I’m ecstatic.
I don’t believe so. Champion gets 4 more placement and a fall is 2 bonus. 3 finalists all pin and we get 18 points. How many team points have we lost this tournament? Never mind. We have lost 2 team points. G for spiking his headgear and John during the same match.
NIL. Start paying for proven wrestlers. Only path I see at the current time. John is loyal to his wrestlers and to the sport, so I don’t see him going scorched earth on poaching and paying. Penn State has RBY that was ready to leave but came back. Dean was at Cornell. Kerkvliet was at 2 or 3 other schools. 2-3 million per year(possibly less, I’m not sure what the going rate is for stud wrestlers) and we’d be right back up to the top again.
I don’t want an ugly 35, I want an undisputed 35.
I know it grey area, but it’s doable!
John gets paid to win Titles if he isn’t willing to do that then time to retire. Nil is not going away and not against the rules and neither is having a Bad ass RTC. It’s been 17 years since last title.
Plott wins the Big 12 Championship. Mocco is a little bitch!
He was clearly in danger and Plott was getting that TD one way or another. Mizzou crying like the little bitches they are. Still can't believe they have 6 in the finals. It would be nice if they went 0-6.
Plott dug deep to be a champion. He is a great guy also
Need to NIL something for Keckeisen, would love to have someone like him at 184 next year. I've only watched Haas a few times but there'd have to be a big jump this offseason in ability for him to be better than what Wittlake provided this year.
Elam another little bitch! Avoided Sloan that entire 2nd RT. He did do his job by riding out Sloan though.
And yet they are the Big 12 Conference champs. Yes, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
I think I just saw the worst wrestling match in history.
And Mizzou officially clinches. I hate them little bitches. Can we kick them back to the MAC?
Or second NCAA tournament, even. He’s got everything he needs to succeed except experience. More shots will come I think
Iowa St. has now lost 2 finals matches which allows us to hold onto 2nd which is sad but first is not in reach.
Glad to see Mauler get his ass handed to him after talking smack after his match with VV.
And O’Tool gets pinned. Mizzou almost got shut out tonight, Elam stalled his way to their only championship. If Carter doesn’t get hurt things might have been very tight.
