It’s interesting that these freestylers from Japan are wanting to come over here and compete folk style. Is this somewhat new thing or has this happened quite a bit? Rin, Ono, and Higuchi has hinted at it on Twitter (although he is 29 years old lol)

David deserves the recognition because he did have a great year but still kinda funny that Cael set the points record at Nationals two years in a row and didn't get the recognition either year. Just sayin'.
GROAN bro. You guys have the biggest budget in the sport and have been hoarding talent for over a decade, do you need all the awards too? Dang, man lol

I'll say that when I take off my orange tinted glasses Nebraska was pretty darn deserving as well. They came up to get second place with hardly any transfers or NIL or RTC support. I'm sure they look at metrics like seeds vs results, improvement over the season, things like that.

Are we sure that Penn State spends that much money? They were opportunistic and got Cael at the correct time. I think it is a lot like when we hired David Taylor. I doubt either school spends like Iowa. David Taylor is not big into spending money on NIL, but he prefers to develop talent. He brought some supporters to Stillwater last October and that is what he told us. I doubt he has reversed thoughts. All of the transfers last year were a function of what some boosters did with Coach Smith.

you groan at that? So if OSU set the points record two years running, you wouldn't post what I posted? Come on bro!

This is the Illinois radio guy so maybe we flipped Aaron Stewart? I know he visited here before he committed.
Yeah he's a big Illinois homer (nothing wrong with that!), so I wouldn't think he would tweet it out if it was something bad for Illinois, or he'd at least take on a different tone

Good point. Reason i said that is he seems to be the only one talking about it so far. No mention of it by Mineo and none of the other boards I’ve checked are hinting at anything. It’s still early tho.

I’m intrigued tho. We’ll see what happens.
