Re: 24/25 outlook
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 ...

Re: NCAA d1
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.

I think I remember seeing that Rune had chosen WVU because it was close to his home and he could commute.

Re: BIG12 Tournament
The only 141 ranked higher than Titus that did not AQ was Cornella so Titus should get in for sure. Now let’s hope he’s healthy.

Re: BIG12 Tournament
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...

Re: WVU's Upcoming Schedule
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...

Re: Midlands
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.

Re: Midlands
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.

Re: Oklahoma Dual
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...

Re: Oklahoma Dual
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.

Good to see Dowling healthy. Strickenberger looks like he can really put points up. I think this might be Flynn’s best lineup yet, time will tell.

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.

Re: WVU Early Lineup
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. ...

Re: WVU Early Lineup
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...

Re: WVU Early Lineup
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...

Re: Big 12 Results and NCAA Qualifiers
Sadly the Big 12 Tournament is a prime example of the dilution of the significance of any tournament other than the NCAA's.

Titus
Hornfeck
Hall
Wolfgram
If Carmen finishes 5th, I think he will get an at large invite.

Re: Brody Conley's Red-shirt
I think its a bad assumption to start with that every wrestler at the top tier D1 level should get measurably better and maybe crack the top 25.
