He isn’t lying Lockett wants that Bag of cash 💵 I don’t blame them get what you can cause you are a ACL INJURY AWAY from being less valuable . He loves OSU but it’s a business and
I’m sure he is just making sure he maximizes his worth with OSU on nil. I still think he comes to OSU
Ewwww. How dare you sir?!
Does vhs not mean vinita high school? I thought you were Harold Meek.
Lol. Guess I’m kinda trolling. Just wanted to needle Blair a bit. He’s clearly in the know and this Lockett situation is one worth watching. My money is on him staying home - but Tom has more money, so this is a thing.
OSU wrestling gives me an ulcer enough
Last years have been hard on the health
Rin Sakamoto will likely compete in the Emperor's Cup All Japan Championship @ 65 KG in a couple of weeks. It's part of the Olympic qualification process.
Excerpt from the article...
In each of the men’s styles, Japan secured two Olympic berths with medal-winning performances in Serbia — at 57kg and 74kg in freestyle and 60kg and 77kg in Greco.
The most noticeable weight class of the eight still up for grabs is freestyle 65kg, in which Olympic champion Takuto OTOGURO is back at the starting line after coming up empty in Serbia as he battled a foot injury. His competition at the Emperor’s Cup will likely come from Asian Games 57kg champion Toshihiro HASEGAWA and 18-year-old high schooler Rin SAKAMOTO, the 61kg champion at the Meiji Cup last June.

That sounds like Sakamoto might be a 141 instead of a 133 which is not good if Hughes is also a 141.
Harley, FYI, 57 KG is not being contested at the Emperor's Cup because Rei Higuchi won silver at Worlds (lost to Micic in the finals).
Another snippet from the article...
As expected, none of the nine wrestlers who have already qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics by winning a medal at the World Championships last September in Serbia are entered.
It is still terrible that at the Olympics there are only 6 weight classes for wrestling. I forgot as Blair indicated that Sakamoto can't wrestle 61.
Lockett? No he hasn’t committed yet but we’re the heavy favorite.
I think he’s talking about sommer
Sommer signed with OU -- we messed up on that one.
He is a PSU kid for sure. I think there’s some hope for Forrest though.
Agree completely, can point to Echemendia and Bastida for Iowa State, both Freestyle guys with no folkstyle experience that are now in the AA category IMO. Dresser speaking on Bastida said biggest hurdle at first was he didn't know any english at all, so hard to communicate. I have no idea if Sakamoto knows english, but you'd think coming from Japan, he'd have a better grip on English than guys from Cuba.
Is that "no we didn't" like when we didn't sign Cam Steed?
The Cam Steed who dominated Harper in the semis and Manibog in the finals at Lindenwood?
The one who posted "back to back funerals" from Armed & Dangerous? Cause he seems to remember we didn't recruit him.
Sommer is damn good prospect and I don’t get why you would think otherwise and Cam steed is proving his worth also.
