Yeah, not sure you know what you’re talking about. Hogan was a state champ and was some hype with his signing. Conley and Cooley didn’t wrestle because of injuries. Had nothing to do with their competition in the room. I was a little surprised that Robins didn’t pick up the win over Bush, but Bush d...

I did not think Hogan’s matches were going to be so lopsided

184 will be interesting. Also how well Hillegas can move after going up 2 weight classes. Tough part about wrestling off is you know each other’s moves from practices. Wrestler A might be able to beat wrestler B, but wrestler B fares better against other schools. Only the coaches get to see what rea...

I knew Rhodes didn’t do well last season but didn’t realize he went 1-11, according to wrestlestat. It shows him as unattached, which just means he isn’t rostered on some team yet. Don’t recall seeing him in the portal.

Check out coach Flynn’s facebook responses about the roster next year, NIL, etc. it’s on the WVU Wrestling Facebook page, posted 3 days ago.

Cooley has eligibility left after graduating, not sure if using it here, elsewhere, or just done competing.

Wrestlestat lists Cooley as a SR this year, and assume it’s automated and he’s done with college. I’m pretty sure he has the covid year of eligibility left, but I may be wrong.

Are you sure it’s because of money that they haven’t made coach McBride a full time coach? 184,197, and HWT didn’t qualify for NCAAs this year, whereas last year both Cooley and Wolfgram did. Maybe they aren’t getting the results that they are looking for with McBride and need a different big man co...

I think Jett’s knee injury added to him looking gassed too. Problem with Titus, is once someone scouts him and knows he’ll give up a leg, in order to hit a roll through or jonsey tilt..they are ready for it. Watters has McDougal next, who he lost too earlier in the year, so hopefully he made some ch...

RS Freshman Brody Conley is now the 174 starter

Cooley has atleast 1 more year of eligibility, if not 2 more years after this year, depending on if can get a medical rs for 21-22. He redshirted 19-20, then 20-21 was the Covid year which doesn’t count for anyone, and then missed 22-entire 21-22 for injury. Assuming what they do with Lawrence might...

Is there such a thing as an anti-home ref? I think Dowling should have won that match. The stall calls on WVU came at the beginning of matches where there was action (Hall, Cooley come to mind), but didn’t so the same on OK. Flynn was livid. While I don’t see Titus pinning Moshe, I think he would ha...

Did you go to the wrestle offs in person? How did the bigger weights look?

Can never have enough talent in the room. I think Cooley has another 2 yrs of eligibility, after this season as well.

Schedule just released: https://wvusports.com/news/2023/9/28/wr ... edule.aspx

I think they will be a good dual team. Overall, i think the upper weights (165-hwt) will carry more of the team. Not sold on Tyson at 141 because he looks small compared to his competition, but must not be able to make 133 anymore. Concerned that many of the duals will started off with 2-3 losses. H...

Arizona State won’t be in the conference this season, the realignment starts next season.

Isn’t he like 6’4”? Not sure how close he is in weight now, but still has another year of high school, I would guess he would move to heavy weight in college. Maybe a year at 197, but kids start to fill out

Unfortunately Amos suffers from not having a wt class between 197 and HWT. He’s been ranked, but don’t believe he’s won a match at NCAAs. This year was injury, but pretty sure went 0-2 last year. If only there was a 215/220 class

Humphries would have filled the need for sure. Could argue the others

I know when I was graduating high school, I wanted to get away and see the world, not stay in my home state/area. Can’t hold that against any kid wanting to get away (IMO)

Anyone know why Hall didn’t wrestle on day 2? I didn’t see any injuries occur in his semi’s match, and have to think if healthy he would have rather placed 3rd than 6th. Disappointed Joll didn’t get a bid, i would bace rather seen he get the bid over Carman. Cooley placed 7th and got a bid, but coul...

I see Cardinale, Hall, and Wolfgram qualifying for sure. Titus, Hornfeck, and Joll will be close. Carman is hard to figure out, sometimes his wrestling looks great and other times not so much. Hopefully Hillegas and Cooley are closer to being healthy again. They were both on a roll until Hillegas go...

Tough match. Moore head-butting Hillegas, and causing a medical forfeit was the deciding factor, unfortunately. Needed the win at 184 to bring it within 3 points, and think Cooley could have easily gotten a major, if was looking for that and not having to get a pin to tie the match.

Is it possible that Titus was expected and recruited to be the 133 lber, but can no longer make the weight this year?

Not sure why Rocky Elam didn’t wrestle, would have liked to see how Cooley faired against him, as I’m sure that’s who he was prepping to wrestle too. No idea why we forfeited at 184, but i thought from 157 on up, all the WV guys wrestled tough and were in their matches, even though the score wasn’t ...

I wasn’t able to be there, and only able to follow on the team’s twitter account, but unfortunately, they only posted the final scores. The scores looked good, but how did the wrestling look? For anyone that was there, what does the “eye test” tell you?

Bearhugger, are you even a fan of WVU wrestling, or just a just an internet troll?

What are you talking about?? Cooley is 197 and Joll is 174?!

Thanks for the reply..an injury is def not a good start to the season, fingers crossed
