That would be awesome. Delucca would feel like he just won the lottery training with Lee, Desanto, Ayala, Larkin.

Morans like you , Whejoe, Nashville, and psu trolls will never leave.
Wainamina… Did you forget about me?
Yes, a guy with poor conditioning will benefit significantly from cutting 8 more points to a weight he left behind years earlier. It’s a great recipe for success.
I was hoping that poor conditioning mid season was due to illness.

There's some freshman studs entering the ring next year like Ross (from Iowa going to Okie State) that could make an immediate impact.
Niko Sahakian will likely be pretty tough coming off redshirt for Meatchicken.

I think Jax, Seidel, and Davino all bump up to 141. Vega to 149. Blaze redshirts and might be a career 133

A name to watch for is Kody Routledge out of Oklahoma state. He is stuck behind Dee and Rabidou. He is tough. Fargo Champ, Wrestle stat currently has him at #8 with the seniors in their at 165. Plus he's a true freshman who just redshirted. We'd get him for 4 years!

I’d take Cael Hughes out of that room as well.

Any truth that the Frost brothers are possibly looking? Could make a lot of sense lineup wise. One thing to remember is Bailey has a redshirt still and people said he was wanting to use it this past year so there is flexibility.

He was another guy that was on my initial list at 165 before I scrubbed it. His family is all in the OKC area and while there is a log jam at 157/165, 174 is going to be wide open after next season. Routledge is an inch or two taller than Lockett and can probably hold the extra weight on his frame better.

If he jumps in the portal, I would love to get him in the room though. The dude took Nicco Ruiz down to the wire this year and he's got a ton of potential.

Bailey might benefit from a redshirt

He was quick twitch with a great double. Can that be taught to anyone? Was JB top game in folkstyle something that people were impressed by?
When Ed Ruth became a coach everyone was so excited and what he was able to do was because of his body type and athletic abilities those things aren't things that are teachable to others.
You can't teach the way Bael or his protege wrestled either, but they seem to have had some success at coaching, unfortunately.
Is the kid that transferred from Minny still on their roster? I don’t see him breaking into the lineup
Medically retired.
My thoughts

We don’t have quality backups at a lot of weights.
We constantly have injuries
We rarely get pins.
We rarely get back points. We ride just for the sake of riding and not to try and turn guys.
We seem to get out scrambled a lot.
We seem to rely on the portal as opposed to recruiting of late. I know we have a nice class coming in 27 but that could change. I hope not.
We seem to wrestle not to lose instead of wrestling to win in tournaments.

I just don’t see the current staff, as is, getting things turned around.
I can't really argue this...
No. He bumped from 174 to 197 exactly like Gabe Arnold.
Over a year or two, eating Kasak beef, not in a month and a half. Apples and oranges.
So really, we peaked in December when we were essentially predicted to tie for 2nd and score 108.. MSU will not be happy to know this.
A lot of crap happened after December to lower that score.
Let me SIR IRON HAWK help you out, cause as ALWAYS, I am here to learn ya and help!!!!

1st, what is with the handle there? We joe, he joe, you joe???? I don't get it!?!??!

ANYWAY- Bringing in foreigners I guess under "foreign exchange" students, is something I never liked BUTTs, OK maybe their can be some good with ALL the F-in BAD!!!! That being said, here we have a wrestler who comes over from Japan. Now wrestling is different do to OUR Folkstyle rules in college.

Sports like soccer, basketball, baseball, Lacrosse volleyball, gymnastics etc.... brings in a whole new "problem" in my opinion(which by the way is almost 100% correct and WAY ahead of most others!!!) With POS ncaa having NO idea what in hell they are doing!!! Soooo much so that the damn government is now getting involved!!!!

You can have ANY person with B1G $$$$ BUY championships(may sound familiar TWOOO F*** st wanna be bandwagon jack wad fans!?!?) What is to stop someone from offering $$$$ to athletes from other countries to come here and play college sports?

NOW I know this is hard for you so....... READ^^^^^ PRO in college sports!!!! READ^^^^ NOT good for AMERICAN kids trying to live the dream!!!!! TRY to UNDERSTAND it ALREADY happens to AMERICAN kids academically where they(USA kid) can't get admission because it was given to a F-in Foreigner!!!

So right now, "we are" POS U<<<< that is you!!! F***st!!! With B1G POS krailure, MAY have OhNo in the line up take a spot from???? I do NOT see how this is a good thing in ANY way!!!!

PART TWOOOO- F*** st, for whatever reason, just continues to have controversy hover over LowLyingSwamp!!!! Why would krailure, the cheating POS, come out and accuse others of cheating!?!?!? AMAZING!!!!

Why would past wrestlers, decide it is a good idea, to make stupid comments??? Have you heard of ANY other past champion calling for a match against a kid who just won a title? Do you see SUPERMAN LEE saying to the 125 champ, " I will wrestle you punk!!"

I am still NOT sure what StarFish was trying to say, BUTTs- according to another former wrestler at F*** st. He should not only be out of wrestling, but should be in jail!!!

It is ALL posted on various Wrestling sites, YOU go check it out and tell me what in hell is going on!?!?!?
I meant to remove this from my multi-quote. I really can't respond right now.
This is even more unhinged that normal for you. Ono is not a pro, unless he was a sumo wrestler.
Olympic athletes are all pros these days. It used to just be the Soviet bloc and other communists, now everyone is getting paid somehow to do their sports, including college (and some HS) kids.

When I saved this, I thought you were talking about Bailey, but now not as sure. If you were, I believe this was his first year at 141, where he was small and underpowered.

I had planned on doing a long post on one of two subjects for my 100th post on the new board but the multi-quote was piling up, and I wanted to comment about Nyla leaving on that thread, so instead you get this mis-mash. I'll probably still do the other posts in the next few days, though. One is a post-season, keep the board alive post that could be interesting or frustrating. We'll see.

You thought that was his problem? He could barely move though the 2nd half of his matches, much of the time.

Any truth that the Frost brothers are possibly looking? Could make a lot of sense lineup wise. One thing to remember is Bailey has a redshirt still and people said he was wanting to use it this past year so there is flexibility.

Doesn’t do anything for us at 133, just to be clear. Neither of them can compete there.

I’m not going to ask you to say anymore, but this post tells me they got something in the works, and for what’s its worth, I like your contributions to the board.
Of course they have something in the works — every progam does.
