I guess he technically hasn’t drove drunk or ran red lights in Oklahoma, so he shows up with a clean slate? He’d better rent a house that’s walking distance from GIA if he’s gonna come to OSU😂
NCAA PORTAL
- Thread starter Pokes1988
- Start date
Hopefully they’ve had convos about how they expect him to act if he comes here.
It was Seth Duckworth saying that he’s heard where he’s going basically
It was Duckworth saying he may or may not have heard a rumor on where Swiderski was going.
Alex Facundo is in the portal for 165/174. I'm thinking Michigan or ISU. Has two years of eligibility
In fairness to him, he’s kinda ended up stuck behind top-4 (at a minimum!) talent. For all we know he’s AA caliber like Bearclaw
He only had one postseason at PSU and went 0-2. He has been very good in freestyle during his time at PSU
He absolutely murdered Haines in fs last spring or summer, may have also beaten Messenbrink but not certain. Clearly he wasn't beating them in the room at folk.
He's way, way better than OK and would be exactly what we need next to Lockett.
He did go 0 and 2 at nationals and those wins you are talking about are in freestyle right? Is there clear evidence that he has all American potential in folkstyle? I'm not saying there is not but what is it?
I wish you guys would wait to speculate on who is coming and how good they are. Unless you are going to put up NIL money please keep your thoughts to yourselves.
Ok give us the sign on when it’s clear to post on the message board!
Do you think you know better than three coaches that were in the room with a wrestler if he is good enough to be on our team? What would parents who check out the message board and we are discussing negatively their child. I do not know whom we are recruiting for sure, but it gets harder to get recruits with these comments.
I generally know more than coaches but can’t speak for all the posters.
What do you think the purpose of these boards are for? It's all about discussing the rumors and speculative transfers. Nothing that terrible has been said.
This place would be so lame if we weren't allowed to speculate on who is coming here and how good guys are. That is at least 80% of what we talk about.
It's weird because I know more about each sport than the coach we have coaching it. I never even played basketball or baseball yet know the game better than Lutz and Holliday. Softball better than Gaeski too. Some kind of gift I got.
The comments about somebody being "not good enough" or some other defect make it so much harder. I have confidence in our coaches especially on kids they know very well. Speculation is great, but the negative comments about kids we want to recruit could make it harder to recruit them. We all want the same thing and some comments are making it harder. Speculation is fun, but gossip is not positive.
I find it hard to believe that a family wouldn't let their son come and wrestle for DT at OSU bc they saw some frustrated fans say something negative on an online board.
Totally get what you’re saying but I think you’re blowing it a little out of proportion is all. Talking crap is one thing. Saying he may not find a starting spot or even talking about someone’s public criminal record is different.
You are probably correct, but I have committed to some serious money for NIL and I really do not like the idea of gossips hurting our chances of quality transfers. It is like when an employee does something to raise my operating expenses for the benefit of their egos.
This is the most tame board I have prob ever read. I imagine you go and read any schools sports board after a loss and you will see 10x worse. Recruits and families aren’t basing anything off anonymous message board posters. 99% of them don’t read boards and for good reason

You should use some of that money to buy a pair of panties that don't bunch up so bad.
I saw a poster on a Texas board call one of their own players a “fat worthless vagina” after we beat them one time.
This isn’t true in my experience. A lot of friends and family keep an eye on things. They’re usually excited and want to see what convos are being had
This is 100% facts.
I’m scared to use my name half the time because these boards are looked at.
I doubt they are hopping in the board after their kin drops some match. Point is it’s not any different from any other sports boards.
Maybe we could try to make it better than the other boards...
Do people realize this is all because someone said Jamison might not keep his spot next year. Literally nothing derogatory or insulting was said.
If there was anyone on the fence about giving money to our program/NIL or about increasing their giving, they are no longer on the fence.
