Just cause a kid leaves a private school doesn’t automatically mean he was kicked off the team lol.

I know a lot of people close to the DCC program and was told his dad pulled him out of private school over a disagreement with the coaches. Crazy dad, but never heard about any issues with the kid.

Unless it’s a brand new thing I’d be kinda shocked to find out OK State is a dry program based on a number of stories over the years.

Sorta silly to say they’re taking away his career. Dudes been on campus since 2019. Timing is just such that this is his final year of eligibility.

Amine literally beat him?

Unless Kennedy or Caliendo can make 157 that seems like a pretty bad allocation of resources for Iowa if true

Oftentimes, yeah. There are also pics of him with Tony Robie and Donny Pritzlaff. As well as one with his parents holding. His parents were featured in both those photoshoots, too.

Michigan State I think this will be our worst season in a while, unfortunately. Probably since 2018. Not that we’ve been setting the world on fire or anything, but we went 40-33 in duals the last 5 seasons under chandler which was a major breath of fresh air compared to the end of the Minkel era. I think we have a sneaky good class coming in, but they are all guys who probably need some time to develop, so this will be a season of transition. 125: Lujan was reasonably serviceable last year and managed to beat a couple NQ’s. Best case scenario he takes another step forward and qualifies. I think 0-2/1-2 at ncaa is probably his ceiling. Prediction: Lujan qualifies (0-2) 133: Big question mark right now. Was really hoping we could get LaJoie. Now hoping Hamdan drops back down with Foley graduated. He won a match here at NCAA’s in 2021 but has been undersized at 141. Otherwise it will probably be a true freshman or a transfer. Prediction: Hamdan qualifies (1-2) 141: If Hamdan goes down this weight becomes the question mark. Incoming freshman Dy’Vaire VanDyke is a 3x top-3 finisher in OH d1 so I’m guessing he’ll get some dual starts. If the staff isn’t ready to pull the trigger on him there are a few 149s on the roster who could potentially cut down, but right now it looks like Blake Noonan would be the guy. Prediction: No qualifier 149: Feels like Omania has been around since the Bush administration, but somehow still has 2 years left. Hoping he can get back to NCAA’s, but consistency is an issue and he isn’t catching people by surprise anymore with his hips. Stauffenberg could also push for the spot after a solid redshirt season. Either way our best case scenario is probably 0-2 at ncaa. Prediction: No qualifier 157: Loved the growth I saw from Saldate last season, especially battling back to R12 after a heartbreaking loss to open NCAAs. I feel good about his chances to AA, and other than maybe Levi Haines I think he has the upside to beat anyone at the weight. Prediction: Saldate places (7th) 165: Another weight I feel good about. Fish probably out kicked his coverage a bit making the round of 12 last year, but he’s established himself as a sure fire top 20 guy and he has room to keep improving. Prediction: Fish qualifies (r12) 174: I liked what I saw from Garza as a true freshman last year. If DJ Shannon can get healthy he’s also in the mix, which could potentially allow for a Garza redshirt. Either way I think we have an outside to chance to qualify but would bet against it. I expect to see Garza at NCAA before his career’s done, though. Prediction: No qualifier 184: Malzcewski has been a lot of fun to watch and I’ll miss him when he’s gone. I’d love to see him break through and have a top 10 type season but I’m just not sure he has another level. Beyond this year I think this weight will belong to Luke Vanadia for a while, so I wouldn’t mind a few spot starts to get his feet wet. Prediction: Malczewski qualifies (2-2) 197: Another major question mark. Incoming freshmen Remy Cotton is pretty highly ranked so I imagine he’ll get some dual starts but I think he’s probably a year away. Especially after missing his state tournament this year with an injury. That probably leaves Kael Wisler and Jacob Lee to battle it out. Perhaps incoming freshmen Max Vanadia could be in the mix, too, but I think he projects as more of a heavy weight. Regardless, I don’t expect a ton of production here next year, but I’m optimistic about Cotton’s future. Prediction: No qualifier 285: Another weight where we are sorely lacking in experience. Josh Terrill had a solid redshirt season and will probably be the starter, but long term I thing this will be Max Vanadia’s weight. He’ll need some time to add size, though. Prediction: No qualifier

A lot of kids take stupid pics in singlets + team gear on all their official visits now. Means nothing. Angelo literally posted a pic in an iowa singlet yesterday with “#uncommitted” in the caption https://www.instagram.com/p/CsRBxaYswvK/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Because sometimes in wrestling u lose the match even tho u tried to win

Just doesn’t seem in their best interest to pursue Voinovich at risk of losing Lamer. He seems like a straight up better option at 149 next year and for the future. Seems pretty unsustainable for Michigan to throw around all this cash every offseason. Next year they will lose DeAug, Lewan, Amine, Griffith, and Davison to graduation. Now add the loss of Lamer and Cannon/Ragu are really their only proven guys in the projected 24-25 lineup right now.

Senior year Chris Perry. So good at it they changed the rules

If Oklahoma gets Storniolo is it unreasonable that they win the league next year?

I understand the hesitation to do unlimited sv, but I think it could actually be pretty awesome if we made push outs a point if score was still tied after 1-2 extra minutes

Sorta hard to empathize with Amine being offended by Christians disrespecting Islam when his username is literally “MalikTheMessiah” lol
