We are trying to do more of these instead weekend duals. Willing to travel to your school for a tri or quad as well. We are limited to 90 minute radius from the school.

I think you are probably pretty close. I really like how our team has not portaled and has stayed pretty steady. Continuity in the mat room could be a bonus that most teams don't enjoy. I hope Jett goes 133 and 1 of the other 125 options step up. Titus is close and I agree on developing his attacks ...
Strickenberger looked gassed in the 2nd period. I hope he is fully recovered by this evening and would guess that with the extra hours after weigh ins he will be a different wrestler. That dude needs to go 133.
Those are good picks. I think that Strick, Titus, Watters, Hall, Conley get AQ bids. I think Dowling has to beat at least 2-3 better guys to make it and he has not shown ability to win the big ones yet. I predict Conley wins a revenge match against Simma and gets an AQ at 174 Only 5 spots at 184, go...
If they keep the cut for AAA at 800, then just Point would move to AAA and Ripley to AA. If they move the cut line to 775/750 then Hoover, Nitro, Point, Fairmont, Winfield, and Shady all move to AAA. Year Dist District Schl School Type "Total Headcount" 2024 004 Berkeley 501 Hedgesville Hi...
Looks like several WVU wrestlers competed at Mat Town open this weekend, including Jett at 125. Jett wrestled 5 times and finished 3rd, with a lone loss 8-2 to high school phenom Jax Forrest who also beat the current NCAA #1. Looks like Jett is on weight and healthy as all of is wins were bonus poin...
Jett looked really good at 133. Seemed to move well and maintain his energy. For duals that seems like a better option for the team with Schafer at 125 and Jett at 133. Schafer seems stronger at 125 then Rhodes does at 133.
I hope whatever is wrong with Jett gets figured out. When he’s right he has AA potential. Poulin #8 just beat Provo #2 and Jett has beat Poulin. 125 is a wild weight class.
Conditioning seemed to an issue at 125 and HWT. McDougal had a good counter attack strategy against Watters but I think Watters figures it out and buries him at Big 12's. At 125 it looked like Strickenberger had no clue how to wrestle someone that short and then gassed out in the 2nd period. Wolgram...
I also think its going to be close. It may be decided by bonus points for sure and I think WVU may have an edge there as their bonus rate has been awesome so far.
Solid start to the season. I agree. Some guys took a few bumps, literally and figuratively, but for the most part I thought Jett, Jordan, Ty, and Caleb all had really impressive performances on the day. One other guy that really caught my eye was Mason Mills, this little dude was really good. It's ...
I saw that too, maybe he can’t beat Watters? Coach Flynn did say that Watters was looking really strong. I am also interested to see how Dolan does against Strickenbacher.
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. ...
Not that some of this isn’t interesting but what does Josh Humphreys and Killian Cardinale have to do with WVU’s current roster? The original thought of this thread was what do people think of the current roster and incoming freshmen. That’s just the way these threads go off the Yellow brick road s...
Geo where did you find that Cardinale did not qualify for the ncaa in 2020? Look again, he is in the bracket. He didn’t win any matches that year but in fairness neither did anyone else. Covid canceled the tournament. Ouch, you sir are confusing the issues with the facts. I quickly looked at Wrestl...
I think most of us want wvu to be a good competitive team. How we get to that point is the subject of debate. If the ncaa does the right thing and we get Josh then our results on the scoreboard improve and the partners around 157 likely get better too. The WVU coaches do not have to do anything spe...
If Humphreys gets another year and if he goes to WVU, he should do very well. His success will be because Josh is Josh. It will be similar to when Cardinale transferred in and placed 7th in his first season at WVU. Cardinale went from Not Qualifying at ODU in 2020 to 7th place at WVU in 2021. To no...
Sadly the Big 12 Tournament is a prime example of the dilution of the significance of any tournament other than the NCAA's. Not wrestling all of your guys or MFF your guys and relying on at large bids is becoming a normal strategy. I predict at some point, unless things change, individual tournament...
