all of the above play a part. Sometimes, two people (coach and wrestler, in this instance) don't mesh for a myriad of reasons.

Or is it because they get older and they have a years experience under their belt he will improve he had 14 matches, one pointer or overtime losses. He will turn some of them around if he makes there team
Teammates better keep an eye on their sisters and girlfriends.
Seems like it’d be the opposite. VV has a whole season of competition under his belt, plus working out and training in our room. If he does well I think OSU gets some credit rather than looking bad. He came here, did okay, his losses were all close, and now he’s taking all of his experience to Iowa where he’ll grow or not. He would grow in his second year wherever he is.
Personally I don’t buy the “OSU can’t develop wrestlers” narrative that some folks constantly speculate on. Do some wrestlers come to OSU and not develop as much as we fans would like, sure. That happens to athletes in every sport at every level. Have a little faith y'all.
Damn I’m just excited for the season haha. This off-season “let’s speculate!” gets old lol

Agree 100% not only vastly improved the athletes but multiple new coaches and senior athletes in the room.
We missed out on one of the best Ks kids Owen Eck, choose OU, would have been around 157 or 165. He majored the collinsville kid going to Wyoming 2 weeks after winning a state championship in football, would like to have seen him in orange… best d1 prospect out of Ks for awhile
Good high school wrestler not Oklahoma State type of kid
yeah, we would hate to have another 4 time KS champ, with a high bonus rate. Reminds me of another that ended up pretty good. What was his name? ended up a 4 time AA (for us and OU), a U23 (University) world champ, and a great recruiter. Can someone help me with that name? I am hitting a blank...
McComas & Sommer took official visits to Wyoming last week.
Been kinda quiet on the recruiting front lately. We apparently haven't chased some of these local guys very hard. Feels like maybe we are going after some big fish. Hopefully something breaks soon.

Delaware. Three time state champ. Would have been a four but transferred up to Easton, PA and was not able to compete. Ended up coming back to Caesar Rodney to finish up his high school career.
FLO has a article on LaDarion Lockett's recruiting and his top 7 schools. They are in no specific order...
OSU
ISU
Iowa
ASU
Cornell
MINN
Little Rock
The article talks about how OSU is the obvious choice for him growing up in Stillwater but he isn't sold on anywhere yet and wants to take all his visits and see which schools he feels like are going to be best fit for him. Basically what any smart kid would do who has his pick of the crop. Personally I don't see him keeping MINN, Little Rock and Iowa on the list.

All kids want attention during this process we will be fine
Bryce Dauphin from Wyoming entered the portal on June 20th. He’s a 157 LB and he’s from Tuttle. He’s a career 30-8 unattached in two years. Do we think OSU might have some interest here? Just curious.
Only 13 DI matches out of the 38 he wrestled going 10-3 in those, but those were mostly against backups from N. Colorado, Air Force and Northern Iowa. No notable wins or close matches against any quality guys.
Hopefully something will come out soon. Flo did a Early line-up look at OSU and they have Manibog/Cutter Sheets as our options at 157.
Looking down the road to '24-'25 season my ideal line-up would look something like this...
125) Spratley
133) Hughes
141) Young
149) Tagan Jaminson (bumping up after a year at 141)
157) Williams (bumping up after a year at 149)
165) Nobody
174) Plott
184) Thompson (Hopefully)
197) Surber
285) Carroll
Unfortunately after this coming year when Olejnik graduates we don't have anyone to hold down 165. So if Jaminson and Williams don't work bumping up weights then we will have to get creative in the portal at 157 & 165
Jamison and Williams 41-49 sheets and mani bog will not be the starter at 57 and we do have 65 held down after next year flo is just out there guessing they have no idea what the lineup is
Blair
would love to have you predict our lineups for 2023-24 season and 2024-25 season
I do agree the 2024 class is lacking right now. Is Beric Jordan the only one locked in? Hoping for Roller too. I mean considering how young this years lineup could be it makes sense. Maybe grab some portal seniors next year to fill gaps and let guys mature. Would hope Roller is a future option at 157 or 165 and obviously Lockett as well shortly after.
Roller wrestles 138 is likely 141 possibly 149. He would have to have a big growth spurt for 157 much less 165.
Y'all need to stop using hedge language on Thompson. He's going to be part of the lineup for 4 of the next 5 years. There's no issue there.
Roller is at 138 right now how do you get 157-165 we all wish but probably unrealistic
Thank you exactly
Yes, that’s much closer Giddens, but not roller roller hopefully 49
blair2000.... was Giddens ever being looked at heavily by OSU? If so, will OSU continue to go after him.
Yes, but he felt like he was being used as a back up option.
He took a few trips to Cornell, Air Force, and OU.
He wants to stay close, and felt like he could wrestle Sooner at OU.
Weird, because they still have some contact with him even after he committed to OU.
You mean osu let’s him come to the rtc practice and train they let Kiser come also, and he’s committed to Michigan.we wish these boys good luck But not to much lol lol
I wish them all the best of luck. Especially the OG Oklahoma boys that grew up in the system. Unfortunately OSU can’t take every good kid that comes out of the state and it only makes the OK look better production wise. It’s a love/hate when an Okie kid has success elsewhere but it’s still a good thing.
This is the problem Oklahoma kids aren’t having success elsewhere name one in the last 10 years
