Can’t see a 2 year guy being taken in that range.
NCAA PORTAL
- Thread starter Pokes1988
- Start date
Hate this for Pendleton. He’s done a phenomenal job up there and deserves better than this.
In wrestling we can’t complain because we are net portal gainers……but if the current pace keeps up of all American level talent transferring out early from these non power schools they will just throw in the towel. Looking forward to the contract era adding some structure to college sports.
We want OSU to be #1, but also don’t want the sport to be whittled down to 3 teams that matter and only 20-30 or so competing. Overall health of the sport matters - just not at OSU’s expense 😊
sure it’s nice, but contracts with maybe a graduate transfer option is the way to go lol
Wouldn’t be heartbroken if a clause finds it’s way into NIL to compensate the “developing” program.
Hurts me to see him leave Oregon state, because he’s got dog mentality. Doesn’t realize when he is an underdog. That is an invaluable asset
Caleb Rathjen to UNI. Good pickup for them.
Now official. Stiles is a Buckeye
Theres also rumors about Tyler Wells from Minnesota going there.
Sounds like Iowa found their 197 for the year. 3x D3 champ and recent U23 Pan Am champ Massoma Endene is rumored to be committing. Last spring he committed to Wisconsin but then decided to go back to Wartburg (in Iowa).

A really interesting addition for Iowa. Dude has been a beast at D3.
Wells, Keller, and Soldano is a solid transfer class. It’s too bad McDougald and Wiley left. They’d have a pretty solid team.
Wells is also almost assuredly moving up to 141, main reason for him leaving Minny
Will they wrestle us in Stillwater now????
They must have found some NIL money🤷♂️. If they were this committed last year, maybe Buchanan stays.
Asking because I do not know. Who has this guy beaten other than D3 wrestlers? I could not find him wrestling in any big tourneys or any matches against any big names. Other than D3 what is his experience?
Nick Stemmet and Andy Smith at u23s last year are his best d1 wins so far. He is wrestling at the open so we should know how he will stack up.
He just won u23 Pan Ams. Last year at U23 Nationals he beat Smith, Koholfer, and Stemmet and then he won in the finals by injury default to earn that spot. He then went 1-2 at worlds.
As far as folkstyle goes, wrestlestat does not show a single D1 opponent in his history.
Pump the brakes, Carter Young had some of the best freestyle wins possible. The transitive property of styles is not always accurate at the D1 level.
Lol I didn’t see anyone on the gas for this pickup yet. I for one am thrilled that Iowa is landing D3 guys for their holes lol
No knock on the kid. Has talent for sure but he’s got big shoes to fill.
I don’t know anything about the guy but it reminds of a Juco transfer we had, Jacobe Smith. He turned out pretty good. Sounds like Iowa is all in on Massoma
He's an interesting get. Wanted him last year (obviously prior to getting Buchanan).
Super talented. He's going to get really good really fast. Should definitely AA.
Being in Iowa’s room will only help. If you base an athlete ability to grow and improve, you have to like his potential
Slightly different but somewhat similar to Muhammad Lawal and Cormier.
Interesting. Thought he might go to Mizzou.
125: Beric Jordan
133: Tyson Charmoli
141: Tyler Wells or Alex Braun
149: Jack Gioffre
157: Peyten Kellar
165: Tate Picko
174: Mannix Morgan
184: DJ Parker
197: Bradley Hill
HWT: Juan Mora
Not a bad lineup for them.
Gioffre? Because this is a thread about the portal. And it’s also about an opponent that we will most certainly face next year.
Willie McDougald to West Virginia. Solid pickup for them. I’m guessing this means Watters moves up to 157.
I don't know how well he does after a season ending injury. Shoulders take forever to heal and they are never the same afterwards.
