NCAA PORTAL

[chasepollard]

I think Dee could do great at 65 next year, probably top 3. There’s Mitch who’s on his own tier, Mikey on his own tier below, and then everyone else. I could absolutely see Dee beating Garvin, Steed, Mantanona, Minto.

I agree, that is best for Dee.

But 74 clears out a bit and it may be best for the team.

My post was basically saying that Dee will do what needs to be done to win a Title, that is what his mind is on...coaches just have to sell him the best path to it that fits the team also.

Interested to know what our PSU friends on here think about Steen

This one certainly surprises me, he left PSU due to the crowded room, he's not gonna start for you guys either....seems he'd have been better at a mid-tier BIG10 school. Had a pretty good high school career but hasn't elevated at the next level

 

[USPMAN]

Bro Iowa forum is so fun. This guy Gobblin says we offered 750k a year for McEnelly for 3 years. They sometimes takes numbers out of their thin air when it comes to OSU to make them less ridiculous for over paying.

Gobblin is a straight up douche over there, one of those smart asses that diminishes everyone else that thinks they have inside intel

 

[USPMAN]

They create this imaginary situation that we tampered with McEnelly, then created this magical number in their mind that we offered. Iowa fans are funny and desperate these days.

They are good at that, last year when Hamiti entered the portal as "do not contact" they were convinced right away he was headed to Michigan and calling out Michigan for tampering blah blah blah, now Flynn from west Virginia is calling them out for trying to get Watters to jump in the portal and they defend it like its no big deal. Just like they did last year with Parco and Teemer, before that it was Spencers dad contacting kids after nationals to get into the portal, I know AOC was one of them

Surprising to many...but hey, everybody likes surprises?

 

[USPMAN]

Wait how about this? AJ goes to Penn State National Runner-up Josh Barr transfers here?

If AJ would end up at PSU he'd go heavy, would not affect Barr

 

[Harleycowboy]

Makes sense to me.
Gotta convince Dee of that though. He’s been pretty vocal about 65.

He probably wants the challenge of Mesenbrink.

 

[Harleycowboy]

I think Dee can definitely go 174 but he would need to redshirt for a year to bulk up.

I think a wrestler with his speed, skill, fluidity and finesse is not someone you want to bulk up. You could lose speed and fluidity. Although everyone is different.

 

[Chasingthirty-five]

If both guys ideal weight is 165, to me it comes down to which guy has a better shot at 165. While I think Facundo has a much higher ceiling than has been realized, the answer is Dee. So you ask Alex to wrestle 174.

You guys did tamper with McEnelly.

 

[Air_Thurman]

I find the pearl clutching over tampering funny. I think everyone is doing it. That is why no one ever gets reported. I hate it but I would be a little disappointed if we aren't doing it as well.

 

[DPJ]

You guys did tamper with McEnelly.

Well we didn't do a good enough job lol

 

[chasepollard]

You guys did tamper with McEnelly.

Our call center is inbound, yours is outbound and bigger!

 

[oklahomaglory]

You guys did tamper with McEnelly.

Proof: Trust me bro!

Unlike Iowa, which previously got official compliant directly from ASU staff and now WVU staff, no one complained about OSU till now.

Same boat. Completely hate this era and that coaches are doing it.

Oh I 100% agree. It funny only Iowa got reported for it twice to NCAA (ASU and Iowa).

 

[vhsalum]

Proof: Trust me bro!

Unless Iowa, which previously got official compliant directly from ASU staff and now WVU staff, no one complained about OSU till now.

There are people on this board who know it's true. and like Thurman said above - the coaches trying to win a title HAVE to do it. There are no rules against it, no enforcement of any non-existent rules either.

So no pearl-clutching from me, an Iowa fan - just facts. don't know about the number, but it does seem about right for the value McEnelly would provide.

 

[Cowboy1989]

To me Facundo looks to have a lot better frame to handle 174 than Lockett

 

[USPMAN]

You guys did tamper with McEnelly.

Whether your correct on that I do not know, you seem like one of the more level headed posters on HR so this is not a direct attack on you but I find it funny that so many posters over there defend the tampering allegations against Iowa yet wanna call out everyone else for it, like PSU paying Alirez to stay at northern colorado so you guys couldn't have him, give me break....I'm sure all of the top teams do some shady Sh*t but come on

We (Osu) aren’t doing enough shady shit

 

[Inky29]

No clue what all went on with McEnelly but you do hear stories all the time about the shady crap that goes on when recruiting kids. Some of the lies that were told to Wyatt last offseason were interesting and we can probably thank Gable for him ending up for sure at OSU (he was coming here regardless but some folks were desperately trying to get him to come visit and had no problem flat out lying to try to get him to visit).

Our team will be our team next year. It's a long 6+ months of waiting.

 

[Chasingthirty-five]

This is why I hate, but also laugh, at all the "allegations". If you're not having someone reach out to the top studs like McEnelly are you even trying?! Haha

 

[SlickWillie2018]

If you wanna be the man, you’ve gotta beat the man

Let’s go! Gotta land this one!

 

[oklahomaglory]

Gotta have this one! DT, make this happen!

 

[SlickWillie2018]

Oh baby. It’s all coming together. Get him on a flight to Stillwater yesterday

 

[oklahomaglory]

Hopefully we can get this done, and not lose him to Ohio State. Who must be fuming they lost Rocco.

 

[100TonsofOrangeFury]

Guessing this sort of huge switch doesn't happen without prior commitment from his preferred school.

 

[BD07]

A couple of minutes before Basch posted this, someone on Iowa board said DT just knded uppercut on Cael. I don’t know how reliable he is but fact that looks like posted before Basch makes me think may know something

Thats Gobblin. He talks a lot of non-sense. He takes half baked info, adds bit of imagination and posts as facts. I guess he heard Zack is in portal, and thinks he might be coming to OSU. But I think the competition for Zack will be big between OSU and tOSU.

 

[oklahomaglory]

Smalls think he is going to Ohio State.

I hope he is the blind squirrel that finds a nut this time but I appreciate you letting me know not to put too much stock in it.

Where are our insiders at? We need AJ and Ryder updates.

Willie getting his jokes off, meanwhile we’re all in here living and dying on the whims of rich dudes and 19 year olds as reasonable people do

 

[pokes_fan00]

184 or 197 for Ryder?

 

[Mr.OSU]

If we get Ryder(think we will)…..he and PJ Duke are close…….just a thought.

 

[wrestlingfan22]

Ryder is a 184. He can make 174 even if needed

 

[wrestlingfan22]

It seems like Duke is just as close with Rocco/James as he is with Ryder. I would guess Duke only leaves PSU if he finishes his RS and there is not a clear spot in the lineup
