Re: Waynesburg HS wrestlers commit to Ohio State and Va Tech
This was going to be my next point. Morgantown, WV is not exactly a resort destination. It is not even in the top 5 prettiest and scenic places in WV. Most everyone from WV likes WVU because they have passion for their home state and they have an emotional connection to the university. People from O...

Re: Waynesburg HS wrestlers commit to Ohio State and Va Tech
Cary Kolat would have been a great choice and is a great choice for any program looking to hire a new coach. It is unfortunate for him and others that the AD didn't interview all interested candidates for the job. I will not speak of his hiring abilities because that is a job I would not ever want t...

Re: Ohio State pulls off recruiting trifecta
I am pretty sure that they just built a new weight room, the equipment they were selling off could have been to make room for new equipment.

Re: Ohio State pulls off recruiting trifecta
Those articles are from 2017 and those numbers are from 2015, just imagine what those budgets are like now. And those are non-profit organizations so the majority, if not all, of that money is coming in the form of donations. Now lets get back to the question, how does WVU compete with Ohio State ge...

Hey Paul Bunyan if you are going to grind your axe don't bring my name into it. I never said that this was "The Best WVU Team Ever" and you know I never said that. Do not get on here and purposely take my words out of context and twist them up to make it sound like I said things that I nev...

Re: WVU in Big 12. Opportunity or Oh $h!t??
I will not say that you are wrong about the number of national qualifiers showing improvement but I don't think that is the only sign of improvement. For instance, say we have 4 qualifiers or even 3 qualifiers. At first glance one would say they didn't improve. But lets say those that did qualify al...

Re: WVU in Big 12. Opportunity or Oh $h!t??
After watching their wrestle offs this past weekend I totally agree. It may take a few weeks or even more to get the full team put together, as some of the guys were out due to illness or injuries, but once everyone is healthy I think they are going to do just fine. Caleb Rae looked good at 141 poun...

Re: Intermat NCAA Tournament Projections
I would predict the front runner for the 133 spot would be Jordan Titus. He is a True Freshmen out of New York. He is 2 time state champion and an Ironman Champion. He competed in Flo's Who's Number 1 event and had all american finishes at serval large tournaments across the country. You can find al...

Re: Intermat NCAA Tournament Projections
I kind of agree with Bearhugger, except the part of it being a "show up and lets see what happens" season. This team is better than that even without Adams and Sullivan. The loss of Noah will not be filled for a few years, but there is 133 pounder on the team this year that will be able to...

Re: WIN ranks WVU 41 of 53 teams
Everyone needs to remember that last year at the NCAA tournament Killian Cardinale was seeded 17th and Peyton Hall was seeded 21st. They both wrestled way above their seed with Killian being an All-American and Peyton making the round of 12. Noah was suppose to contend for an All-American finish but...

Re: Intermat NCAA Tournament Projections
I never said I was a long time fan of WVU, I did not follow them under the supervision of Turnbull. I did not like his style. I am very aware of where both Tyler Caldwell and Dom Bradley came from. Sammy recruited Caldwell when he was coaching at Oklahoma and when he left for Missouri Tyler left for...

Re: Intermat NCAA Tournament Projections
Not making any noteworthy progress in 7 years is kind of what I thought this whole thing was about. It has been much longer than 7 years since they have made any noteworthy progress, but at least now I think the program is going the right direction. Is the team going to make a huge splash at the nat...

Re: Intermat NCAA Tournament Projections
At face value it looks like Sammy's numbers are pretty good. In his four years he had two All-American finishes by the same wrestler, Zeke Moisey. Does that count as two AA's or just one? The sounds like a different thread. The one person that made it to the round of 12 was Dylan Cottrell, yeah he w...

Re: WV College Wrestling Schedules
Thanks you Kyle for clearing that up for everyone. I wasn't completely sure as to why the schedule came out later than most others but I knew it was more complex than the coaches not wanting to release it. And once again the basketball team getting in way of the way of the wrestling team, it's like ...

Re: Intermat NCAA Tournament Projections
I certainly appreciate the enthusiasm that I have created. I never meant to ruffle feathers. The impression that I get from reading some of these posts is that when a WV kid does not end up wrestling for WVU or if they leave it is automatically the coaches fault. I guess I am on the other side of th...

Luke Martin was there during Tim Flynn's first year. There was obviously an issue between Luke and the coaching staff or he would still be there. Head coaches on the NCAA D-1 level are more like CEO's of a large companies, they have certain ways of doing things and they are not going to coddle anyon...

Re: Intermat NCAA Tournament Projections
Fortunately what you were looking at was only "Projections". Even though the people at Intermat are very at rankings what they didn't figure into the equation was injuries, illnesses, bad weight cuts, burn out, true freshmen's, and just plain upsets. There are lots of things that can happe...

Re: WV College Wrestling Schedules
I am not sure of all the schools mentioned but I am fairly sure that the Athletic Director for WVU is the one that releases the schedules for each team. And no, he does not get in a hurry to release the wrestling schedule. Usually WVU is one of the last teams to release their schedule as it typicall...

I think this is a good pick up for the Mountaineers. A young man who can connect well with the athletes, he has coaching experience, and he is someone who is still competing himself. Everyone needs to show some support and buy a tee shirt and/or a raffle ticket so the RTC can keep these men on the m...
