  1. Never heard of this but I'm super intrigued
  2. I'd consult with both Askrens and John Mesenbrink on who to hire as coach. Instead of poaching youth for college within the same state - let the AWA program alone since its running successfully. But make sure you have their view before going forward. The goal is alignment
  3. On the plus side, as a SUNY school, instate tuition is heavily discounted and New York state has plenty of youth wrestling
  4. I don't know exactly but I've been told it's not the full allowance. Maybe half that
  5. So he didn't get the Dean Heil treatment exactly but it seems like all of the rules we discussed all went against his style. In aggregate its worth considering the impact
  6. Oh yeah I misses the most obvious rule that went against him which tilted the outcome of neutral positions as more heavily weighted than it was previously
  7. They also changed the rules against his previous style. Namely they increased stall calls on guys running parallel rides but not trying to turn. And also they have kept a closer eye on locks that go across the neck.
  8. I've watched every televised Buffalo dual over the last two years. He seems to be a very passionate coach with good results from limited resources. I view them as a team in a similar situation to Binghamton, but the Bearcats have been more impressive than the Bulls by a reasonable margin. Buffalo should aim to outperform teams like Binghamton as an appropriate benchmark.
  9. well he did lose to Jay Aiello and Lou DePrez in the tournament that he won
  10. another weird one I noticed - the previously retired Billy Janzer from Rutgers
  11. And in the short term, no one could blame any young wrestler from accepting a 6 digit endorsement deal for a team that loses money in a sport that very few care about. It does feel like we need some strong leadership in the sport at the moment
  12. Yeah I was talking about the whole sport. If Penn State and a few others figure out a way, that won't be enough. The others will die and Penn State will have no one else to compete against. I'm talking long term, but it feels inevitable without a change in strategy
  13. I heard that from Askren but folks here convinced me with good reason that even if possible, it would be difficult and perhaps unlikely
  14. I'm really glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing
  15. As much as I would like to blame the NCAA - at some point its up to the different sports to think of a way to be financially independent or else die on the vine
  16. Any updates on his situation? I couldn't help but think of him being absent this past weekend
  17. Your list makes me think of a good idea: who are the best transfers at each weight who went from a bigger program to a smaller one. From your list alone you have Noto from NC State to Lock Haven and Quinn Kinner from Ohio State to Rider. Going back in time of course you have Kolat and Marstellar. Evan Wick from Wisconsin to Cal Poly. Who else am I missing
  18. dude are you talking about this board: https://virginiatech.sportswar.com/message_board/vtwrestling/66034ef8a595e40014b7a3b4 I can't find which guys are being mentioned. Any idea who?
  19. transfer portal by weight so far: 125: Evan Tallmadge 133: Connor McGonagle 141: Peyton Moore 149: Sammy Alvarez 157: Jason Kraisser 165: Dean Hamiti 174: nhs67 184: James Lledo 197: MPhillips 285: PJ Casale
  20. Between Dean Hamiti and Connor McGonagle, so far we have two guys from the all star matches hitting the portal.
