Jimmy Cinnabon

He could easily coach another 10-15 years if he wishes to. Unless Cael takes an early retirement, meaning he retires before the age of 50, I think Penn State can't really be a viable place for guys like DT, Dake, Nolf, Zain, etc to start their coaches careers if they wish to start as a Head Coach. In all likelihood, the next head coach of Penn State is going to be a guy who hasn't even started his NCAA career yet.

So Coleman gets sloppy thirds?

Yeah, if Coleman doesn't get Ok State he can't exactly go back to UNC now either. Where can he really go?

Derek White was the "Cowboy Bulk Job" in going from 197 to 250. If Coleman ends up NOT getting the HC job at Ok State...I will deem his inducement to leave a primo HC job at UNC to leave for Ok State the "Cowboy Screw Job". I would honestly feel bad very bad for Coleman, he's also a PA boy like me.

Yes, endowments come from donors. NIL money also comes primarily from donors.

He has the same amount of coaching experience John Smith had when Ok State hired him.

Or will they just wait for Spencer to finish competing in 8 years?

That would only be true if each school’s donor pool had the same collective amount of money, which you obviously know is not the case.

Alirez to Michigan at 149?

Guess where these colleges endowments come from? Hint: the same source that funds NIL

Yes, of course I don't mean DIRECT use of endowment funds for NIL. But let's not kid ourselves that money can flow through different avenues...

I'm highlighting the university with the biggest endowments who have D-1 wrestling programs: Based on 2022 U.S. News figures: 1. Harvard University $50,877,680,000 2. Stanford University $36,338,794,000 3. Princeton University $35,126,200,000 4. University of Pennsylvania $20,724,351,000 5. University of Michigan—Ann Arbor $17,095,088,000 6. Duke University (NC) $12,692,472,000 7. University of Virginia $9,703,267,510 8. Cornell University (NY) $9,346,229,362 Of these top universities it seems only Michigan is utilizing their vast reserves to buy transfers. The rest of these players need to get in the game!

I think Michigan still has the title...but if all the rumors re: Iowa and the portal this year are true Iowa might take it.

Title threat? He has AA level defense, but is sorely lacking in offense. I would be shocked if he made AA this year.

Levi has the frame to go up to 174 for sure. Facundo supposedly has improved but I still don't think he has enough offense to AA in college.

I heard Alirez is getting $500k from Iowa.

2 Italian Stallions. One cutting from 230 to 197. One bulking from 174 to 197. One has been out of wrestling for a year. Another is coming off a major knee injury. How do you see Ferrari (Iowa) vs Starocci (PSU) playing out?

Really? LL will be a true freshman. Ayala beat #1 seed Penn Stater Braeden Davis.

* of course these transfers are not yet set in stone, so this is a hypothetical CP has stated Iowa's strategy is to focus on the portal, so 6 transfers is very realistic. 125 Ayala > Lilledahl 133 Cannon (transfer) = Nago 141 Alirez (transfer) > Bartlett 149 Parco (transfer) = SVN (since injured) 157 Teemer (transfer) < Mesenbrink 165 Caliendo (transfer) < Haines 174 Arnold > Facundo 184 Angelo Ferrari > Barr 197 A.J. Ferrari = Starocci HWT Hendrickson (transfer) / Keuter < Kerkvliet

Glad they decided to add windows to the dungeon

Is he getting more than Alirez?

Hearing $500k for 1 year in black and gold https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/portal-help-on-the-way.442899/

Alirez is better than Woods. He beat him in the NCAA finals.

One could say Iowa is currently "Transfer U". Although Michigan is nipping at Iowa's heels for the title...

To be fair, Woods improved in his first year at Iowa
