2023-2024 Recruits & Transfers

[CyCloneRastlinG]

I keep seeing people say this. Seems like neither guy would want to redshirt. Is that something that happens in wrestling? I just think of football and basketball and I can't imagine any of them being okay redshirt sophomore year after starting freshman year. I'm genuinely curious. Didn't know if it happened more in wrestling.

Everyone’s situation is different. As an elite wrestler you want 4 years of NCAA wrestling championships. Coaches have to get creative with guys redshirts and use them when and where they can. Some guys come in more ready to go than others and might go early in their career and use a redshirt later due to many factors: growing into a new weight, Olympics/international wrestling, injuries, competition at their weight. With wrestling growing into a weight and taking a redshirt year to “bulk up” and adjust is common.

Some things at 149 will get sorted out for other reasons. Not referring to gambling necessarily

This is what I was assuming

Sometimes there are events in life that throw you a curveball.

Who’s transferring? Going to be a bummer to lose either of Paniro or Casey.

No one is transferring

Dresser did mention we might have 1 starter out due to the gambling probe for a short amount of time but pretty much left it at that yesterday. He didn't seem too worried about it. I have no inside knowledge on who it could be.

Yonger said he's enjoying full feed and not cutting weight. Says he feels like he has more energy than before, which is insane.

Broderson is going up to 197.

Chittum was wearing long sleeves yesterday and occasionally had his hood up. Seems like a crazy guy.

Academic ineligibility?

Sorry, but I can't mock the Hawkeyes for taking a Ferrari or two and turn around and get excited we are taking AE. That's hypocritical. Not a fan of it. Love our coaches and program, regardless. They aren't here to please me.

Haven’t heard that

Control the controllables and let somebody else think they are more virtuous.

Buf and Tiger can only hint so much at what’s going on and I don’t know how people aren’t picking up on it haha.

Just stop

 

[buf87]

I am assuming a couple things here.
1. It is Carr’s last year & Dresser & Staff want to go all in for a NCAA trophy

2. AE, I assume doesn’t have a redshirt available & Casey, Paniro, & Chittum do.

3. I assume Chittum will work towards being a future 165.

 

[buf87]

If someone steps up and gets a real good finish at NCAA, it would be hard to make them move

 

[GMackey32]

I want to say AE would be a Redshirt Junior this year. Could technically probably get an injury waiver one of his years in Columbus depending on how the NCAA views his freshman year injury.

 

[crablegs]

Just stop

All you have to do is say what’s going on, instead of the cryptic messages which only lead to speculation.

Enlighten us

St John told me at Humboldt that the lineup from 125-157 is very fluid. Assume redshirts, gambling, health, & probably a few other factors.

There are things (whether gambling, health or other issues) that I will not mention on a message board. Those are for the staff or wrestlers to tell, if they want to.
