Seems like over 90% of his matches are 2-1 or 1-2

Let’s not throw stones at defensive wrestlers now. Us boring counter wrestlers drive much more talented wrestlers insane.
As well as TV Networks, announcers, fans and photographers.
But, concession stand profits love you guys...
But we will not close the gap this year. Maybe next. Also I agree with you that why spend much money on someone who probably won't be better that what we have. JJ and Rin could be real good.
One of my best high school buddies was the polar opposite wrestler(offensive) he let me know he was dying inside every time he watched Amine wrestle.
This may not even be the most shocking/weird move by UNC athletics in the last 6 months. Extending Hubert Davis and then bringing in BB and his… girlfriend
That’s a lot coming from you! 😊
I don’t expect to completely close the gap in 1 year. It’s a process. You’ve got to chip away bit by bit.
From what it looks like, they are going to balance both the long and short term.
So circling back to Mr. Jock Itch real quick. Let’s say it’s just him, or even worse, Anthony is included. What happens to Koll if (read: when) they go off the reservation again? He can’t tell admin that there was no way to anticipate it happening
0% chance Ryder and Welsh don’t throw down in the ncaa tournament. Destined to be.
We won’t get the Ferrari’s because we won’t/can’t pay what they will require.
Next year just got a lot better
This is getting better! Facundo and Zack will absolutely contribute this year! AA even! Lets get 133 for more competition and HWT. We will get another trophy next year.
Yeah OSU’s Title IX office probably can’t afford to reach the staffing levels they’d need to handle bringing him back to Stillwater
Great news. Now we are 1 step closer to Penn. St. 26-27 could be the year we are in at least the same league as Penn. St. Might be lineup 25=Spratley sen, 33=Forrest fr, 41=Vega fr, 49=Swiderski sen, 57=Robideau fr, 65=Lockett soph, 74 Facundo sen, 84 Ryder soph, 97=Merrill soph, HWT=Ross fr,. This is a lineup of many All Americans and some possible National Champs.

No AJ please. I'm all about giving the benefit of the doubt but he's already burned his bridges. I stumbled on a video of him talking at NCAAs, dude weirds me out. I like weird people but not like that. He presents zero percent humility or self-awareness, he heckles refs and insults fans, he craves attention like it's air, never mind the crimes and reports from people on campus... the whole vibe is just bizarre. There's no way he should be allowed to come back here. Again I'm very much a "takes all types!" kind of person but I will be skeeved out if AJ comes back to Stilly.
Going to watch a large amount of Zack Ryder videos on youtube now.
Report back! I can tell folks are stoked. I don't know anything about him though besides the bio I posted above.
What did we learn about speaking in absolutes two weeks ago?
That every once in a while a miracle happens Lee. It was great but let’s not count on it every time bud
I kinda love that AJ has worn out his welcome at OSU and freaking Iowa, but one of America's wokest schools is ready to welcome him to the family. 🤣
The level of white hot hatred coming his way after he shows his true colors..... that will be a meltdown for the ages, likely on both ends.
HUMAN SACRIFICE
If AJ comes back to OSU I will instantly lose a year of life expectancy
133 and HVW. Actively looking. Need the right guys in the portal.
I can tell you as of a week ago, Penn State fans were very high on Ryder, expected him to contend for a title, and said he was a great teammate and brought a good energy to the room. In the past couple days however those same fans have realized he's actually mentally weak, cannot deal with "adversity", is scared of a challenge, and they're glad he's gone. I guess we got duped. Oh well
And as of a few days ago they expected him to beat out Rocco Welsh.
Still don’t think we are done in the portal. Could add another lightweight soon!
