I’m aware based on what I’ve read here and other forums. Folks move/transfer for several reasons, I’ll leave it at that. But the article stated he’s moving with his family and personal coach, so I’m sure he moved for academics

To me it just makes sense. The kid gets acclimated to the area he will spend the next 5 yrs, and the school saves on scholly money. Possibly using the saved money to use on an out of state recruit that didn’t want to move.

My apologies, like I stated I couldn’t think of a good topic so I just went with it.

Disclaimer I couldn’t think of a good title to this post, however I will get to the point. I was reading the Flo article on Brayden Thompson transferring to Stillwater High to finish off his senior season. Huge news, a top recruit gets DQ’d and then leaves for whatever reason. It happens, we all know it. Big recruits join new schools all the time. However in the comments there was a comment that made 1 million % sense. It got me to thinking why it doesn’t happen way more often. We all know he’s committed to Okie State for college. However the comment which stated the move is helping Okie State. How, after 1 year as an Oklahoma resident, he will now be a resident thus allowing/being cheaper on scholarship money as an in instate tuition. Makes sense. I don’t know all the ins and outs or even if it’s true but it does make sense. He’s not the first and probably won’t be the last Okie State wrestler to move-in as a high schooler prior to joining OSU. I mean Teague Travis, the Ferraris, Beric jones have all moved after committing. Iowa, has had this happen also, Franklin and Gabe Arnold. If it works out for the school, I’m surprised more schools don’t have this happen. Now I’m not affiliated to either school nor any of the wrestlers and I could be way off base. But it does make sense for the 9.9. If a family can afford to make the move, helping the school they might give more in money or however scholarships work, which I’m not familiar with. So if a kid commits and isn’t gonna waver it makes way to much sense for both. Come as a SR get the year under your belt, meet in state criteria and it’s helps everyone. Maybe the criteria is different state to state, but my opinion Okie state found a way, to make it work.

Yes. They are from Park Hill Mo. They were committed to Mizzou first, but followed Clemson to Maryland.

That’s a formidable lineup. Possibly second best on paper after Penn St. hope he finds his way to CoMo.

If Keegan were to move up, it would most likely be once Mocco graduates. Steed could possibly take over 165. Who knows what could happen. Maybe Keegan is a lifer at 165.

You guess is as good as mine. Wish I knew myself. Whatever it is, I’m hoping he’s back soon. Not just him, all the starters.

Tigers win 24-12. Big Elam wins in SV 3-1 to avoid an upset. Hopefully soon the whole lineup will be healthy.

Forgot about Steeds injury, was wondering why he didn’t go over Conway. Hawks held his own, losing 7-2 against Keckeison

Mizzou up 11-6 at the intermission. No Jacques, O’Toole or Brown for MO. Started at 125.

If the season ended today, who would be the top 4 seeds at each weight? Conversation starter, obviously a lot of wrestling and factors still available.

Ness over Dennis in the final seconds gets my vote.

Cal Poly I think

Man, he needs to come on over asap. Don’t know much about Mitch, but I doubt he’s afraid to shoot like Jacques. Maybe he can win those SV matches he keep losing.

I, as a Mizzou fan would love that. What weight is he?

Then in Jacques fashion, another SV loss. At some point he has to win a SV match versus a decent opponent right? Bad showing from several Mizzou guys.

Flo has them

Surtain has been out for awhile glad he’s back. Really would’ve liked all the guys to compete, but I guess I’ll settle watching the 184 bracket as this is probably the battle for the spot with Harman and Hawks.

No Mauller, O’Toole or Rocky Elam for Mizzou in the official brackets. Was hoping for a full lineup but apparently it not happening. Anyone know why those guys aren’t wrestling?

Schultz losses in the QF to Pitt 4-0?

Anyone know why Surtin has been MIA the last couple duals?

Zeke is at 133, doubtful Mack grows, but I could be wrong. Luke and Mack both lifers at 125 it seems. Maybe Zeke to 141 at some point and one of them to 133. It could work, I’m hopeful he stays home, but the opportunity to go to say Penn State would be hard to pass up.

I agree, I would love to have both of them. I’m sure Smith could find a way to get both of them into the lineup.

Hopefully he comes back home to Mizzou. I would guess Luke and Mack Mauger are all around the same weight. Could be a sign.
