Kyle Parco in the portal.

I understand this and have no dog in the fight. Thing is, we don’t know what Whiting would’ve/could’ve done at B12 or NCAAS. My argument was he earned the spot via wrestle-offs or whatever criteria Mizzou has and out of nowhere it was taken away for whatever reason. What’s done is done, and he’s most likely moving on. Time will tell how it works out. My concern only was that if he was done wrong, and I don’t know the details, is how it would look to other AWA recruits and if it could potentially hurt Mizzou chances in recruiting down the road. To lose a top 40 recruit and 4x state champ always leaves a sting on any program not PSU.

Has nothing to do with Hawks personally. I don’t know any of them outside of being a fan. What I saw is Whiting beat both as mentioned before, he then wrestled in the starter spot for most of the year only to have Smith give that spot to Hawks for the post season. Why, no clue it just happened. Im from Mo, St Charles to be exact and not Wisconsin. I’ve been watching Hawks since his Holt days. However, I am excited to see Sinclair, whether that’s 184/197. What concerns me is the details of how it went down, details I don’t know, but this could be potentially bad for Smith regarding AWA guys. If and I’m not saying it was done wrongly will this turn or change how AWA guys feel towards the program costing Mo recruits down the road.

Man that’s terrible how Smith did him at the end of the year. It was his spot, he earned it beating out both Hawks and Harmon. Sad to see him go.

I’d be interested in what Whiting was weighing in at this year. He looked like a full sized 184. Is 174 possible for him? I think KOT goes 174, and one of Hawks/Whiting sit. Harmon saw the light, he wrestled some at 174, so if KOT wasn’t moving up, and Harmon wasn’t beating Whiting or Hawks I see why he hit the portal.

Mizzou possibly

Thanks for the info. I’m excited for him to get on campus. Can’t wait to see him represent Mizzou. Do you know his plans weight wise, 174-197 seem plausible or more 184/197?

Sinclair is registered for the last chance at 86kg, after wrestling 220 all Sr year. I get a RS is probably highly likely, but I’m wondering if 184/197 are his plans. 184 is kinda a log jam, but 197 Div1 isn’t the same as 220 Wisconsin High school wrestling. Honestly I think he could beat both Whiting and Hawks if Smith lets him go as a Freshman.

Scott Barker, Finalist at Mizzou transfers to Oregon. He was kicked off the team so idk if he counts.

I believe Wyatt said it’s not happening and he’s solely focused on freestyle now.

No clue what weight he weighed in at, but Askren said the AWA guys wanted to wrestle different weights so that they could see how many Champs could come from AWA and not have to take each other out. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sinclair was an 184 easy right now. How that works out with Hawks and Whiting I don’t know, but if I’m Smith and Sinclair wants to go asap, you have to start the #1 ranked 220 period.

I see now. P. Moore, Shepard, Borsma and Whittaker. Whittaker was a transfer in from NC State couple years ago. Most likely wasn’t ever seeing any mat time. Local Mo kid from Father Tolton. Maybe the rumor of Mcginigal is true, who knows.

Possibly 157 or 165. Kinda bunched up there for us. Could go a couple ways I’d imagine.

He’s welcome to join. I have no clue what 285 looks like for us now that Big Elam will be moving on.

Ghadiali is listed as a RS-SR, does he have any eligibility left?

Hopefully. Someone with more knowledge may know more than me, but I haven’t heard anything. He performs in March when it matters. I think he can win next year.

Coming into the year there was big expectations for the Tigers, with 5 returning AAs and a 2x Champ we were expected to bring home a trophy. We know it didn’t pan out, but that started immediately. Mauller at 157 wasn’t ideal, Seltzer couldn’t maintain 133, Whiting wins the spot only to have it taken away right before B12s, the “flu” or whatnot that happened towards the end. Just seems like the season was doomed before it began. Rocky missed a good portion of matches. Hopefully next year it gets better. I still believe in Smith and Company but we gotta right the ship.

Absolutely this. We have good to great recruits, we have the staff, what we don’t have at least this year, is wrestlers who want it bad enough. We don’t have killers so to speak. Maybe HEW was the problem for most of the lineup, I don’t know. Maybe we need to have our guys wrestle more, could be a number of things. But the nut cutting time is exactly what is wrong with us. We could’ve had 5-AA’s if Hawks could’ve gotten off bottom and Edmond finished his shots. We had the talent to come home with a trophy, but like in years past, we don’t perform on the big stage.

If Rocky moves up, that could clear room for one of the 184’s we have. Whiting, Harmon and incoming #1 220 Sinclair could battle for 197. I would assume Sinclair RS but if he’s the best option then I wouldnt be nervous about letting him go.

I’d welcome McGonagle with open arms. More competition. Seltzer can’t make 133 and he’d be a huge upgrade on Moore.

This is my guess on what the lineup could look like next year. Hopefully Selzter can carve out a starting role. He was ahead of Moore before weight issue cost him his spot. Surtin Moore Edmond Gioffre Steed/Conway loser goes 165 KOT Hawks/Whiting R Elam ? no clue on 285 We have a pretty good class coming in, most likely the majority RS, but you never know. Big Elam graduates leaving a big hole, doubtful but maybe we get a transfer in the portal.

My team pulled a Messenbrink, we thought we where tied, but riding time killed us for a blood round lose keeps us from making the podium this year. Congrats winner. See yall next year. Go Mizzou!!!

Beard had a very underwhelming performance this weekend. NATO was the star for me. Fighting now just be be an All-American.

Greyson Clark-Purdue is another AWA kid.

I don’t understand what happened. Long review. Minny scored to tie it at 4 with maybe 30 seconds left. Edmond got what was called a reversal. After the review Minny up 5-4, I don’t get what happened before OT.
