Lol Minnesota fans are a little mad after getting that A** beat.
Think he was at the same high school as the Ferraris for a year and f’n hated them
I’d take Chittum at 157. I know he didn’t have the best season this year but that Iowa State team was influx this season. Chittum was supposed to redshirt but ended up coming out after all the injuries. That 157 championship match against Downey in 2023 was crazy. What does he have 1 or 2 years left? I wouldn’t blame Chittum for leaving ISU if AJ shows up there either.
With all the flux at ISU and bringing in Ferrari why do I see a team implosion in ISU’s future? I’m sure Dresser is feeling the heat with the emergence of UNI and having to compete with Iowa as well.
Chittum has a ton of talent and is not meeting it at ISU. Regarding McNelly, I am starting to feel for Minnesota. They have had so many swing-and-misses. A short list would include Spratley, Ramos, Kerkvliet, Chittum, Jamison. Now we stole Robideaux who was committed for 3 years. Watching the Spratley and Ramos match it occurred to me that both those guys redshirted at Minnesota before transferring out. The accumulation of all of that would be demoralizing to a coach and the fans especially for such an accomplished program.
Isaac Dean would probably be top 8 with all the seniors moving out at 184 right? Not as huge as some of the other ones but not terrible.
Fortunately for them I don’t think there’s any evidence that McEnelly is actually in the portal. The only source I’ve seen is that one guy on Hawkeye Report.
I would understand Minnesota not liking or trusting at all. But Penn. St. is a bunch of cut throats and if you are going to compete with them unfortunately you have to move in their direction. Bad for wrestling but if we are to compete. Only the strong will survive which is bad for wrestling. NIL, free movements of athletes have not been good for any sport. I think John Smith really cared about the future of wrestling. Sadly, this is 1 of the reasons we fell so far behind Penn. St.

100% agree. Honestly, I will never feel too bad about taking a transfer from a Big 10 school. That conference is one of the reasons college sports is where it is. With the money those schools are making funding wrestling shouldn't be an issue for any of them.
Taking them from other schools flat out sucks and it is terrible for the sport. At the same time we really have no choice.
Huh. Well that 141-149 roster battle gets a little more complicated
Does anyone have insight on what Teague Travis' best weight is? Is he more naturally 149 or 157?
Between 141-157 how many guys are there?
Returning Starters: Jamison 141/149 and Travis 149/157 (maybe Young 149/157)
Freshman: Vega 141 (maybe 133), Robideau 149/157, Routledge 157 (maybe 165), Guerrero 157 (maybe 165), Hickman 149/157
Other returning guys: Hughes 141 (maybe holds 133), Cutter Sheets 149/157
Transfers: Swiderski 141/149/157
Some of these guys will RS and others will just be depth pieces, but wow there are going to be some crazy wrestle-offs. Further, you have no clue what these guys ideal weights will even be
I dont think Swiderski will ever go to 141. Either 149 or 157.
I wonder if they could go
141: Hughes
149: Tagen
157: Swiderski.
Only negative is you’d push Teague out of the lineup.
141: Hughes
149: Tagen
157: Swiderski.

For the love of God somebody get him a scooter or Uber giftcard and keep him from driving anywhere
Wrestlestat had him listed at 141 for this season. Not sure what that comes from though since he didn't wrestle any matches.
Dresser had announced he was going to be the 141 and then he tore his ACL a few days later and took a RS instead
“Certified at” vs “most effective at” is probably something to consider as well. Just because a guy certifies at a weight doesn’t mean he’s most effective at that weight. isn’t certification just based on body fat percentage and weight at the time you certify?
Someone posted earlier that he’s got a DUI and then I think a long list of traffic violations. Dude apparently drives like he was raised in Broken Arrow

If memory serves, Jordan Williams beat this guy and he tried to fight John Smith after because Jordan had to stall the entire 3rd period after breaking his collar bone.
He better be on a tight leash.
(EDIT: I'm exaggerating about him trying to fight John Smith.)

What would be the ideal scenario? Tagen or Casey at both 141 and 149, Teague at 157, Lee 165, right?
Thought you guys were just fine with
Hughes 141
Tagen 149
Travis 157
Guess DT thinks different. Swiderski is either a 141 (hard cut) or 149. And color me surprised that DT is taking a flyer out on a guy who parties, drinks and accumulates traffic citations like they're collectibles.
Swiderski has potential to be top 3 in whichever weight he goes. Only question is his dedication and discipline. This will be a test for DT and his staff cause we removed Jordan williams for exactly the same reason.
I’d imagine DT and Casey have talked behind the scenes about how he’s expected to behave if he comes here.
I mean this staff showed this past weekend what they can do for guys who come in and buy in. Hope he’s more serious about winning than he is spending time with his friends Jack, Jim, and Jose Cuervo
It most likely is, because Casey saw what happened with another talent that wasn't making good decisions.
Maybe so but at the end of the day I trust DT. I’m not a huge fan of Swiderski but I don’t think he’s done anything to be undeserving of a second chance.
Yeah it is, considering he let a guy go this year that would've been a starter and had high AA talent
