So would Bono have anything to do with signing this supposed release? Or the AD? Because Wisconsin’s statement only referred to the Athletics department, not the wrestling team. Is it possible the AD wanted to sign it but Bono didn’t?

C’mon man, it seems like you’re being purposely obtuse here.

This is the author of the article:

Nevills was absolutely recruited over for Kerk. Although technically it seems like his fellow world team members were the ones that did the actual recruiting. Yes, some guys like Dean may not have actually been “recruited” if they chose to go there on their own, but they still replaced other guys. Not that there’s really anything wrong with that, especially at Penn State everyone should be expecting to have to compete for the starting spot.

The Wisconsin statement doesn’t say anything about signing the release/waiver or whatever. As @npope said, it appears to be carefully worded with just vague statements that they’ve “supported” him and “worked with” Nebraska. It seems the decision technically is in the hands of the NCAA, but that they could influence/possibly confirm the decision by signing the release/waiver

Anyone bet against Downey? Not sure how he got to be such a big favorite

Ah, thanks

Agree on 1 & 2. I do think #3 may be possible. Honestly hate to say it but I’d probably say Minnow is more relevant than Basch (the # of twitter followers would back this up). Basch is pretty much just a PSU homer that has some inside access. Brands may have been referring to Willie though as I believe he had also thought Kem was done for the year.

Yeah I’m sure potential recruits will see this and think Bono could give them a hard time if they end up entering the portal

I think it’s fair to say Seth Nevills was recruited over for Kerk. Taylor probably still qualifies too regardless of the motivations. Don’t think Beard/Hoffman qualifies. The transfer portal has certainly increased the frequency of this. Lamont/Burwick of course probably the most recent example. Maybe before the transfer portal but I think Suriano to Rutgers basically resulted in both Alex Mackall and Brandon Paetzell transferring out. Then can probably say Suriano over Medley at Michigan too. Maybe Real Woods over Wyatt Henson (although now Henson wrestling 133) Tate Orndorff over Gas Tank Gary

Well if Iowa’s last 2 matches have taught us anything, it’s that probables don’t mean much

Michael Beard says hi. Nonetheless, I’d probably take Lamont to score more at NCAA’s this year. But Burwick for 3 years will probably outscore Lamont’s 1. Although to be fair we really need to also use whoever Wisconsin’s 133 ends up being next year and the year after

That is crazy, especially since I’d guess a lot of those were 1 seeds and you have to win it in order to not perform worse

Apparently they won’t

I’d say maybe 60% of his threads can spur good discussion. This is not one of those

So if Kraisser and Gaitan avoided getting majored, and Carr got one, who would’ve had the tiebreaker? (I realize if he needed it Cassioppi would’ve tried harder for bonus)

So the call was also challenged and reviewed, correct? Does appear to be a TD based on the current rule, but I could see them changing the wording in the future.

So Lewan was down 10-0 in the 3rd place match before injury defaulting? Will Flo not count that in their rankings?

Minnow did. It was a photo saying “there’s something wrong with your character if ‘opportunity’ controls your loyalty”

Was at Lock Haven too…aren’t they not even D1 in other sports or something?

Looks like wrestlestat “only” shows 7 years for Moore

50% price increase coming?

This is my thought as well

Yeah I didn’t see any home cooking there. Murin’s TD in SV may have been a tad quick but he would have gotten it. That had to be the closest 26-11 dual I’ve ever seen.

Nice job by Murin with the clutch win. Now just needs more of that at NCAA’s so he doesn’t finish R12 for the 4th time… What’s you guys think of Marinelli and Young as announcers? I thought they (particularly Marinelli) were OK, just a little homerish of course. It was kinda annoying that all the Iowa guys were on a first name basis and the Penn guys were always “this guy.”
