I honestly wouldn’t hate it if they did it Shane Sparks quadbox style with 1 mat each for the finals. But I also think the men’s tournament should be spread over 2 weekends. And for the people that won’t watch the women, it might even make it easier to follow the mens if they are on less mats. 8 is a little overwhelming TBH.

Is Bearclaw to the portal more evidence that Starocci is coming back?

Not sure if it's been discovered elsewhere but I have a guess who it is, but not going to say it yet in case I'm wrong. If I'm correct, this may sound contradictory but while he is basically a nobody, he's not exactly just some random fan. The guy I'm thinking of has been in some youtube videos from a "wrestling media" outlet which I think actually does a really good job, but the videos with him in it appear to have been scrubbed from the interwebs, and his X/twitter account (literally with NLWC in the handle) must have been deleted within the past 3 months (probably the past 2 weeks if I had to guess).

Has the guy been identified yet?

Yeah it will just be a dual meet of Cornell vs everyone else

1/10

It was just Purdue that he threw in, but yes that was kinda weird

Bump?

I agree with the beginning of your post, but it’s not necessarily a sure thing they get a coach that does as good as job as Tanelli was doing

His post said he was moving to coaching, but didn’t say where. Would he count as the “new blood” people were asking for if he joined the Iowa staff?

Commitment coming soon top 6 “Cornell, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, I don’t know, probably missing some, Iowa.” Kozak: “Purdue?” Blaze: “Yeah Purdue” Doesn’t sound too good for Iowa or Purdue.

Yes I believe so

Not all that great it seems at least compared to most of the other B10 teams

Haha I’m convinced that’s pretty much all Minnow does. I’m sure he’s got a couple sources but I think he just scours various message boards and forms of social media for nuggets that haven’t been widespread yet

I agree that he adds entertainment, but he’s more like the Pat Downey

Roselli seems to be the rumor. Looks like they haven’t had an Associate HC. No intel but my guess is Wentzel is leaving. Found a recruiting visit post from 2 weeks ago and he was the only of last year’s coaches that wasn’t tagged

@LJB would not like this post, lol. Does your wife follow D1 to know the top guys? Just curious what would make her say that doing well in Greco would be “easier”?

Was Burroughs/Marsteller considered UWW competition?

Well as a start, it would be nice to know what kind of money guys like Burroughs, Taylor, Spencer etc make in endorsement deals. Obviously it’s not $28 million, but it seems like Clark is shattering even previous women’s basketball numbers, not just wrestlers.

This and the headgear grab against Hall that was what, 6 years ago? What other “of these situations” has Zahid been in the middle of?

It’s ok. I would like to see more of the really good but not necessarily the best of the best FS/college guys try it Some guys I think could have success: Eric Barnett Matt Ramos Dylan Ragusin Ridge Lovett Bryce Andonian Lenny Pinto The Hidlays maybe even Pat Downey

(Sorry as noted earlier was just a redshirt last year)

That no takedown call wasn’t that egregious (I believe even Willie agreed), did they say it was due to that or stuff earlier in the match? I haven’t watched the rest of the match but if it was primarily due to the no takedown call, this seems like a slippery slope to be suspending refs for judgement calls. If they found out the refs took money or something shouldn’t they be banned and not suspended?
