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.
