Jason Tsirtsis on the move??? Hager has some inside info -> Listen -> http://bit.ly/takedownradio pic.twitter.com/hFn4reRRH6

Sounds like Iowa State or UNI. Visited this past week. Rumored to not be eligible till 2nd semester for some reason.

It is the 1st thing discussed on Takedown radio

If you keep listening to Takedown wrestling, Travis Wittlake also mentions KJ as his Cadet World team coach. I would love to have Travis Wittlake Jr at Iowa State as a 174/184 pounder

Obviously you always take a guy like Tsirtsis, but where does he slot in? 157? Or does he force Gabe to bump up?

Not sure, I guess wherever he wants to go. Not till 2nd semester it sounds like

Gabe was already serious thinking about going to 141 so either way I think they can work it out.

Wherever he wants to go

Woah. This could be huge. I think he would definitely stay at 149. Gabe would have to move.

Jason still has all the talent to be a top 3 guy at the weight. A change of scenery would probably be good for him.

 

[HitItHard58]

Nice. Very nice.

 

[LindenCy]

Could this happen? *Excited

 

[Judoka]

That would be a great get. Hope he decides to come to Ames!

Thought Marcus was a junior this year.

He'll be a RS freshman.

 

[BCClone]

He'll be a RS freshman.

He wrestled last year though.

Sorry, thought you meant Simmons, but that's Markus. My bad. But still, Harrington will be a RS sophomore.

Video interview with Jason on Flo (warning audio is very rough)

Sounds like he didn't meet Northwestern academic standards. He says his three are ISU, UNI, and Arizona St. and that he hopes to decide soon. Eligibility sounds questionable

 

[NYWRESTLER94]

You'd think that given his situation last year they would've been more lenient

Well that's a letdown...
