If DT can get Amine to shoot even once a match, he's hands down the coach of the year!!
interesting thought about the Okie State incoming portal guys (plus Plott) possibly all redshirting in 2024-25. Would allow Keck (UNI) to clear out at 184, opening a better paths for Platt. Probably makes less sense to redshirt Hendrickson, as it means Merrill would likely go as a true frosh.
285, I believe.
He wrestled at 285 his junior and senior years in HS. He wrestled 285 while redshirting in college this past season
Hendrickson can't shirt. Already had to get waiver to delay military commitment.
That’s what I thought. So, apparently he’s willing to sit a year behind Hendrickson.
@LB99, I need to update my response. All the info I supplied about where Carroll wrestled in HS and as a redshirt this past season is accurate. However, Carroll is registered at Jr. World Team Trials at 92 Kg, which is 202.8253 lbs. As such, 197 lbs. may be more within reach for him than I thought was the case.
I’m pretty sure Carroll wrestled 97 kg (213 lbs) at Olympic trials. It is possible that he is at 92 kg now which bodes well for 197 depending on how hard the cut is. Wrestling a college season at a tough cut weight is much more difficult than making an occasional cut for the freestyle circuit
if so, Christian Pyles would be wrong (see post #204). Which would be shocking.
With Merrill coming in the 2024 recruiting class, the only thing that makes sense for for Okie State is for Carroll to get to 197. Carroll is Class of 2023 and redshirted for the 2023-24 season. How effective he can be at 197 for an entire college season (or a 3 day tournament like NCAAs) remains to be seen.
According to West Point, a cadet can only redshirt if an injury forces them to miss significant class time so they can't graduate in 4 years. I am not sure of Hendrickson's case. The military for the most part want there people and really don't care about athletic careers. It is already extremely rare he was granted this exemption.
Since I had to remind myself, figured it's worth posting a reminder for all that Okie State wrestlers had more time to hit the portal because of the Coleman departure/DT hire. That 30-day window ended either yesterday at Midnight or tonight at Midnight, so he'll be eligible next year.
Not surprised at all. They took Hendrickson from the portal and another top HWT recruit. Carroll seemed to drop down their depth list rather quickly despite being a really high rated recruit.
Former Penn State wrestler Terrell Barraclough picks transfer destination; where will he compete next?
Penn State lost one wrestler to the NCAA transfer portal following the 2023-2024 season. Now, Terrell Barraclough has his next home.

Best of luck. Couldn't ask for more of him while at PSU.
Agree. Class act and smart kid. He’s going to do very well in life.
Not sure that was it. Word trickling out of Stilly that some guys did not embrace Taylor -- out of loyalty to the old coaches, or lack of desire to change, or burnout, or whatever reason. I would also expect some friction in the room after multiple guys failed to make weight at U20/U23 trials.
Anyway, some Pokes are being encouraged to look elsewhere ... and not just by the new coaches.
Heeg supposedly skipped offseason practices.
Carroll apparently wanted to be around Chris Perry, and when Perry landed at Iowa State, voila. (Perry is rumored to have talked to others about the portal before he got the ISU job.)
About a week ago, Brayden Thompson's mom put her OKST gear on sale. Interpret that as you will.
Back to Carroll: with Bastida at HWT, he'll be at 197 this year for certain. After that, we'll see how long he stays there.
