2021-2023 Transfer Portal news

[El-Jefe]

As of yesterday Austin Gomez in the portal. I though that Austin stepped away from wrestling due to medical issues?

He did.

So did Adam Brenneman. Until he didn't.

 

[El-Jefe]

Beating a 2x champ makes you a legend now??

Bear in mind that Nick is already elite, having qualified for multiple Big Ten tournaments.

 

[McScoreley]

Any news on Griffith?

Hail mary meeting with the Stanford president next Tuesday to save the program. Goes without saying if they can do it, he won't leave.

But other than that, tea leaves says Michigan at 174. That being said, I didn't know we led for Van Ness and/or Facundo ... Cael works in secrecy it seems so who knows. I definitely wouldn't count on it (him coming here at 165)

All good, I'll make the changes. I haven't paid much attention to HS wrestling this year with there being so little. Just basically teams that are/have been involved in ETR. Just getting up to snuff on the older MS kids over the past month as we are in the middle of our selection process (or more like 2/3 the way through - partials and NJSIAA teams left). Although that doesn't excuse my miss on Barnes and the Williams twins (Manheim Twp will be at ETR next year).
The 2024 kids haven't been edited in a while - I'll use your suggestions and then we'll revisit next fall/winter when we should see the return of the big tournaments. Then I'll do 2025 as well - you can never be too sure about who exactly ends up moving on to 9th grade until the start of the new school year.

Dice, did I miss you speak on your listing of Nick Lee at 149 in your sheet?

If I did not miss it somewhere; would you mind speaking on it here pretty please? tia!

In the off-season, weights and starters and whatever are just me guessing what will give me the best chance to do the least editing when they hit the mat next season. I have about as good a chance of getting it right as IronHawk.

It makes sense to me, but Bartlett growing into 149 and Nick staying at 141 because that's what he is does too. So does SVN coming in at 149 and Bartlett taking a RS before taking over from Nick.

In other words, Cael has a plan - I don't.

So IronHawk is now helping with the spreadsheet? Whoa!

Clicked on the link. Lol. Still laugh at Sammy and his mullet. I thought he was brilliant with his delivery... ha

 

[Dogwelder]

... IronHawk ...

An IronHawk would be too heavy to fly. Might as well make a zeppelin out of lead.

Iron Turkey would make more sense.

This will never get old.

Well... Turkeys aren't exactly great fliers either. I think IronTurd fits the Cesspool better. He's a floater.

Changed - hope the color is appropriate👍

Very much. Thank you.

[Junglekitty]

I think some are missing the bigger clue - had been in the portal previously.

Real Woods?

 

[Larryrise]

Real Woods?

Where is Real Woods headed? Michigan? How is Michigan getting all these guys?

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Where is Real Woods headed? Michigan? How is Michigan getting all these guys?

Slush fund :-/

At least that is what I read on another board

 

[El-Jefe]

Look up the bio of their RTC coach Sergei Belaglazov. That should be a clue.

 

[McScoreley]

I haven't heard any connections to PSU for Real Woods but of all transfers, he actually makes the most sense. He could go 141 if Nick goes up to 149 or even 149 if he's willing to bulk up. This would allow SVN and Bartlett to both redshirt and SVN could use the season to get to 157 possibly (and Bartlett/Woods man 141/149 post 2022)

The big thing with PSU and the portal is we don't have needs at most weights, it's a few specific weights so a lot of best available talents in the portal (Griffith if he wants to go 174 and Max Dean) wouldn't even fit.

 

[Ian]

Not sure why a guy like Woods. They have NLee, Bartlett, and Van Ness at 141 or 149 and that’s a champ and 2 future contenders. I’d think 157 and 165 where you probably have Barraclough, Boone, JLee, Manville(?), and Facundo (OTC?) are more important. No opportunities there?

 

[nitlion6]

Slush fund :-/

At least that is what I read on another board

PSU's slush fund is paying them to go anywhere but Iowa. Carl likes Bormet's hairstyle so he directs them to Michigan.

One more time: Nick will wrestle 141 next year!!!

Hoosier Lion, I still can't tell if you're Nick's mom or dad, or a grandparent. When are you going to finally reveal yourself? The suspense is killing us. 🙏😜

 

[86PSUPaul]

@Hoosier Lion so you’re saying there’s a chance he will be 149? Lol!

Are we sure it isn’t Nick?🤔

 

[Dogwelder]

I’m not me. Pay no attention to that wrestler behind the keyboard

 

[PSUbluTX]

Are we sure it isn’t Nick?🤔

I considered that, but for all his confidence and straightforwardness, Nick still doesn't have as much swagger as Hoosier Lion.

Hoosier Lion says it, its good enough for me. Another edit to the spreadsheet.

I'm not going to say who it is, but let's just say it's Deep Throat.
