Would he be able to get a medical redshirt for missing out on 2021? Or was the the year everyone got an extra year for COVID?
Hopefully he stays at 141. But Jamieson is really good too, unfortunate he didn't AA. Williams hopefully learns a thing or two about wrestling on the top and bottom. Has high potential.
Jamison wrestled like crap the last 3rd of the year. Like really really bad at times imo.
Peaking at the wrong time mostly. We shouldnt have wrestled as many as last year, should have kept us fresh. Like PSU.
He was also on a new diet for whatever reason. Not sure what made him decide to do it middle of the season but his results definitely suffered
I feel like Williams could make a huge jump under DT.
I didnt think he fully recovered from his mid season shoulder injury.

The rumor is he wants 149 but that’s mostly message board talk haha
He’s definitely got the upside. Will be fascinating to see what DT draws out of him.
He was telling us and Iowa he wants to go 49
I would assume he stays at Minnesota since he’s already always there. Hendrickson said he was there training while he was on his visit.
I don’t understand how he still has a year left? I get that it’s a covid year but it’ll have been like 2 seasons since he last wrestled. Do COVID years never expire?
Covid plus RS plus Olympic RS
Even though he didn’t attempt the trials this year technically he qualifies for an Olympic redshirt because of the last Olympics.
IMO he either will or he'll be gone. JW needs to stay 100% committed to wrestling and living the right lifestyle on and off the mat. All the talent in the world but talent is everywhere. DT and Co. ain't putting up w/ no BS.
Tagen needs to go 149 to see his full potential.
I would love to see JW incorporate the Assassin to his riding skills. He seems athletic enough to pull that off. JW could be amazing due to his speed, strength, and length.
I think we are set to see a massive jump by multiple guys. The days of getting up a point and then shutting it down while trying not to get called for stalling, are over. Attack, attack, attack
Jordan Williams is going to thrive and get so much better with David Taylor. This kid has amazing talent and this coaching staff is going to help him get better.
Strength is where he's lacking honestly. He hates lifting though.
DT has a similar build at this stage in life as JW.
IF, IF, JW is coachable and has the desire, he will be impressive in the near term.
Alirez won't be coming I guess. His message to Iowa is that he plans to stay put. Same answer for OSU mostly.
I’m fine with that. Hate to see guys leave programs that have invested in them.
Good for him. I like to see him stay home. As much as I like to grab talent, I like to see other, smaller programs succeed. It helps wrestling as a whole
Now the coaches can officially start recruiting. Things are going to pick up soon.

To be fair… Iowa isn’t a better destination for any of Alirez interest. Looks like NC found some extra funds but he hasn’t pulled his name officially yet. Stillwater was an upgrade before we got all this Olympic coaching. Just something to keep in mind.
Give DT some time to call him. When he pulls his name from the portal, then I’ll believe he is staying.
I lost track of Alirez, but to be honest, I note that neither he nor UNC issued any statements about his return like I would have expected. So I think yours and ShootWrestling's idea has legs. I think there is room for another party to crash the wedding.
The fact that he is still in the portal tells me that DT may have already contacted him. I would hope he did.
Wasn't the funder to hire DT an alum from UNColorado? Maybe he is funding Alirez to come to Stillwater? Who knows til it happens. Alirez is a class act and an amazing wrestler. I can not wait to see what the future has stored in for him.
At you talking about Chad Ritchison? He’s a UCO grad.
Second times a charm? Lol didn’t they already offer him the farm and he still chose WWE?
Today or tomorrow is the last day our guys can enter the portal correct?
I’d keep a very close eye on it today!
