Why go for Arnold? Let's get Angelo Ferrari. He'd probably come back.
Next Years Lineup
- Thread starter Cowboy1989
- Start date
From what I hear, Gabe's an Iowa guy and loves it there.
Angelo has lots of folks in Stilly he still keeps in touch with. Including guys on our wrestling team.
That would be interesting for sure. I feel like that would put him at odds with the rest of his family if he were to come here tho lol.
If we could get Angelo, I have said for the last 3 years you should jump at the chance. I have never seen or heard that he is trouble. He appears to be a dominant 184. He could help us get to 35. He should not be judged by his brothers or family. I don't expect of course that he would want to come here, though. One other thing is he came to wrestle despite taking on a 4 time National Champ in that Champs gym. Impressive.
Angelo isn't going anywhere. Would shock me if Gabe left Iowa his family moved there. Gabe isn't a 86kg guy so I would think he's 79kg this summer and 174 next year. And Penn st fans were all over him so they got him off of the bench. Gabe knew he wasn't wrestling he didn't even weigh in
Were the fans all over Gabe or all over the Brands? Guys who were there said that Gabe thought they were harassing him but that they were really harassing Brands for his decision. I'm sure a few fans targeted Gabe out of 17,000, but the feedback is that it was originally directed at Brands.
Edit to add that you will forever more be known as Clorby on the PSU board. Someone misspelled your name.
So if the info from mizzou thread is true, we will not have Carter and Doucet from next years line up. How will it shake up things if at all?
Guys walking at senior day doesn’t mean they’re not coming back. Think it just means they earned their degree this semester and are being honored for it. I THINK.
Carter still has another year. So unless he's retiring, he's competing next year. Haven't heard anything about him doing that or entering the portal.
They're talking about the above quote from the Mizzou Dual thread on this forum
IF true, not sure this affects anything. I see Jamison at 149 and Travis back at 157. If Young could get his finish rate to 33% I may think differently but I’ve been feeling that way all season.
Doucet can stall his way to an AA with all the guys graduating at heavy this year but I think if DT wants to find someone else it will probably be similar level again just due to how many Seniors there are at heavy. So really doesn’t affect much.

I can't imagine a scenario where DT rolls out Doucet. That will only happen if there's an injury. Heavy will definitely be a portal pickup.
People act like there are a dozen stud HWT ready to hit the portal. If there’s one and we can get him I’ll take it but I just don’t know that there’s will be. I dislike Doucet style same as everyone else but he was a blood round guy going into this season with that style and now the weight clears out. My point being 1) I don’t know that there’s going to be a better option and 2) if he stalls his way to AA and we have to take it for a year it is what it is. Take the points.
I am with you in that we hit it real big this last year in the portal (Hendrickson, Hamiti unbelievably great, and Amine, Fish, real good). If we hit this big next year I would say wow.
True but both of ours just went through Senior Day ceremonies. Not sure why you do that if you’re coming back. Wyatt is out of eligibility so he was a given. Doucet isn’t out of eligibility but was honored as a senior.
You’d be surprised.
Plus. There’s a guy you’re the current favorite for. That you guys are gonna be happy about. And you’re not gonna have to worry about watching doucet do nothing for 7 minutes and PRAY he just AAs
Redshirting. He took an Olympic redshirt last year so it will have been 2 seasons since he wrestled.
What weight has he most recently competed at and is he staying at Wisco or are consecutive RS a sign of discontent?
He got legitimately hurt at Trials. Shoulder injury.
Hope he's smart enough to leave Bono.
He hasn’t wrestled this year at all but wrestlestat has him at 285.
Also, he should have two years eligibility? 2021 Covid year or his redshirt season? Wrestled 22/23. Then Olympic shirt 24, medical shirt 25?
Sorry I should’ve asked a better question. I remember he was going HWT but wasn’t sure what he walked around at since he was at least previously a 197. Looks like he wrestled the team trials at 97kg, so 215ish. Wonder what his current weight is. Sounds like he’d be comparable in size to bulked Surber
I think more comparable to bulked Derek White. His body stature probably better built to go heavy than Surber was. I bet Amos could easily be 230+ as a heavy weight.
With everything DT has said publicly I don't see him putting out a wrestler that actively defies his philosophy of creating action and scoring points. Like, he'd take the forfeit rather than compromise his vision. Which is pretty bad@$$
Looks like Carter Young decided to come back next year, after all.
Honestly not sure where he fits unless Jamison stays at 141 which is possible but a little surprising.
Just because he's staying doesn't mean he's going to be starting. I don't think he will be in the lineup next year. Had several years to develop into this wrestler we all thought he could be after that team trials run. He's just not that guy. Good but not really good and definitely not great.
Next year I think we should move Jamison to 149, Cael Hughes at 141 and likely McCallum at 133. Hughes is not going to be a star at 133 and needs to look right now at 141 next year. This would be his 3rd year at Oklahoma State and if he doesn't become a star it is likely he will be passed over the next year at 141 by Vega possibly who would be a redshirt freshman. I will be disappointed and feel like John Smith led us wrong on how good Sakamoto would be if he is not challenging for 125 or 133. I would really like to see Sakamoto wrestling folkstyle or even hear how he is doing in the room. I don't know if he is redshirting this year or would be eligible for a redshirt next year. I just checked on the roster and see he is on our roster now so probably redshirting this year. I wish he would have gone to some opens and gained some more experience.
He puts shots on target but doesn’t finish well, he can fix that.
Would think so but it’s been like that for two years now. Still rooting for him though!
That’s fair. I really like Young and I do think he has potential to be great. Just also feels like he isn’t going to get there either. Not trying to bash him and he has earned his spot at 149. Just wish we could see him hit his full potential because I think we all see it’s there.
He needs to hang some muscle. From what I hear that’s on him to do. The regular team work outs aren’t going to involve a ton of weight lifting. So while the S&C guys would help him in anyway they can, it’ll be on his time if he wants to get that done.
Muscle would help. Hiding his feet when he gets in deep would help too haha
He really does a great job getting to his offense, but his conversion has been poor.
It’s a combination of muscle and position. I think they get him there on the positions.
And Daton said it - it can't be that every shot he takes ends up with his nose in the dirt. Has to develop shot where he goes through people or around them.
This is very true. I was just talking to a coach about Iowa landing Bo and his exact quote was “that’s fine because I will just go to the portal and grab an All-American that can beat him.” So @west2east is right, coaches need to recruit out of high school to build the talent and then go to the portal to supplement where needed. It’s what PSU did with Dean and Nagao and what Iowa and OSU did this year. And, watch what ISU is trying to do next year. I think once the playing field levels out, coaches will rely more on their own grown talent because none of them like this money game.
If ISU pulls off what they are trying to do, they will be very hard to beat next year.
