Re: 2024 Transfers
Could you give us some names? To say that these teams are getting one or two new guys from other teams is good information but without saying who the new guys are kind of makes the point mute.

Re: WVU recruiting
They brought in Tommy Maddox as a transfer from Buffalo University who may or may not be much of an improvement for Davin Rhoads. They also have several incoming freshmen that could earn the spot: Anthony and Joseph Clem, Mason Kernan, Brycen Arbogast, and Tyler Wood. This is one of only a couple of...

Re: NCAA scholarship limit increase
These changes are not supposed to take effect until next year, the 2025-2026 season. I'm not sure how much of an impact on the team it will be going from 36 or 37 down to 30, other than it will obviously eliminate some practice partners. However, I can't see the university spending money on 30 schol...

Re: 24/25 outlook
I agree with NJWVU, you put the best possible team on the mat. Flynn just got the ball rolling last year and if you regress this year that will hurt recruitment for the next year or so. You have to show future recruits that WVU is a place you can win and the only way to do that is to put the best te...

Re: 24/25 outlook
WVU keeping some of the best talent in state is good news all the way around. Gunner Andrick and Brock Kehler are very solid additions for the class of 2025. They have also recently got a commitment from Casen Roark, from Tennessee, who is another Top 120 recruit.

Re: Transfer Portal
I would assume if Cooley was transferring out he would be listed in the transfer portal, which he is not or hasn’t been. Wrestlestat still has plenty of guys who are in the transfer portal listed as being on the rosters they are transferring from. But to the point of Cooley being around for Rune’s f...

The 157 pound wrestler from Ohio University you are referring to is Peyton Kellar. I was unaware that he was in the transfer portal. This would be a surprise if it is true because he grew up about 30 from their campus and has attended their camps from a very young age. As a fan of that team, it woul...

Just seen where Tommy Askey, from App State, is in the transfer portal. He was a Round of 12 finisher this year at 157 pounds and has one more year of eligibility left. As much as I like Dowling, this would be an improvement at that spot and sandwiched in between Watters and Hall that might be enoug...

Re: WVU recruiting
Are you sure it’s because of money that they haven’t made coach McBride a full time coach? 184,197, and HWT didn’t qualify for NCAAs this year, whereas last year both Cooley and Wolfgram did. Maybe they aren’t getting the results that they are looking for with McBride and need a different big man c...

Re: NIL Money
The biggest problem with the NIL system is that it is very loosely regulated and there are too many loopholes that don't protect the smaller schools from the larger schools who want to poach their athletes. The only way Ty Watters or any other rostered athlete should be allowed to be contacted by a ...

Re: WVU recruiting
I totally agree with the sentiment. It is only realistic to have 5-6 guys in the lineup that can contend for an All American finish, and the others to be qualifiers winning a match or two at the national tournament. This kind of lineup sound a lot like what they have Va. Tech and that aint so bad.

The last time WVU has had multiple All-Americans was 2005, and as a team they should finish inside the top 20. With any luck this will help with future recruits and transfers.

Re: NCAA d1
Jett’s knee was definitely hurting him, I hate to see him go 0-2 but it is what it is. Hopefully next year he makes the jump to 133 where he can concentrate more on wrestling and not on cutting weight. Titus has a tough path back to the Round of 12 and if he gets there he will probably have Brock Ha...

I won’t say that I disagree with your idea because your premise is spot on. However, it’s just not recruiting kids that coaches have to worry about these days.

The number of guys on the roster has been an issue I've been contemplating on for a while.

As it is the coaches job to put the best team on the mat,...

Definitely a disappointing round. I felt like they all had winnable matches but the three losses were to good opponents. Titus had a close match victory over his guy very early in the year and Conley had already lost to his opponent early in the year as well. Let's hope they can come back through on...

Overall, I like the draws the WVU guys got for each of their weight classes. With all the parody in the 125 pound weight class, I think Jett fits right in and I like his chances to make the Round of 12. He definitely seems to wrestle better the deeper he gets into a tournament. Jordan Titus has beat...
