What are the rumors? Pyles has implied that unexpected portal pick ups have something to do with it

It is an interesting situation about how the NCAA can handle prospective athletes with a situation like this(assuming he falls into the category due to gray shirt). NCAA compliance is not the same as the law. I am very curious about the time period of the criminal complaint ending on 10/31 and how he wrestled his first match on 11/5. If what Dresser is telling Willie is accurate and they expect no penalty, then my guess is he signed some sort of compliance paperwork declaring himself a college athlete before 10/31 and making him subject to NCAA regulations, however he decided to stop the gambling activities once he signed. This would mean he could dodge the NCAA compliance penalties. He never signed anything his gray shirt year.

This is my thought. His first college match was on 11/5 and he was in grey shirt the prior year. So the rules/laws may not apply given the time period.

so i have only heard part of the story because the OUPD says there were two kids... but what i heard was some kid was out getting in fights at the bars the night before a practice. he goes with one of the coaches the next day and claims he got hurt, so the kid's rich parents tried to press charges. the kid transfers out and is already at a different school. apparently the criminal investigation is over and nothing happened with it. i do not know if there is a pending civil suit. maybe that is why the coaches are not back yet.

In March, there will likely be a lot of bachelorette parties with ladies getting ready for their spring weddings. We could all walk straight out of the arena to this. It is such a walkable city. So much fun.

In my opinion, Nashville is the best location possible

No stain has been placed on Stanford for when they briefly planned to drop their wrestling program. They have been recruiting well, especially in the 2024 class. Rob Koll is top notch.

Man... we all missed out on that.

I take this back. The PAC12 has their basketball conference tournament at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Maybe the PAC12 could host and NCAAs in Las Vegas is possible.

I looked up the future venues for NCAA Championships and noticed that each City/Venue has a Host. Who could be the host out in Vegas? There are no Big12 or PAC 12 schools in Nevada. These locations for NCAAs do need support semi-locally. I will go out on a limb and say it will never happen in Las Vegas because it does not align with any possible Hosts in wrestling.

Doesn't Japan have a national team qualification process for Olympic Weights on different dates than the non-Olympic weights? Does anyone know the specific details?

I do not understand what you are saying, but the same principle applies to Spencer Lee.

It is absurd that we still do not know exactly what happened and J'den has still not posted a video, done an interview, or made a social media post. It does not feel professional. Total disregard for public relations. J'den is a super unique guy. It would benefit him, and a lot of USA wrestlers, to put their face out there more and let the fans get to know them.

thank you for the correction. i did not see anything dirty about how he wrestled. thats right. he is so large that he may be able to do that to senior level athletes, but he looked significantly better than everyone at u20s. difference in size seemed like a big deal in that match.

He struggled against the giant Iranian, who is so so good. I would expect that guy to challenge Zare for the 2024 spot. The same Iranian who beat Feldman, I believe beat who we sent out against Iran at the World Cup. Gwiz?

That is a very unique path
