Hamati is likely headed to Ann Arbor, and will likely be the first in several big off season portal moves. I really hope programs like Little Rock and SDSU don’t get raided.
The first question ...

Do you put Logan’s win over Jordan Oliver? Certainly the most controversial. This one is big because it represents the longest stretch in TRs coaching tenure without a champ. Now you could conten ...

Doubtful much is public since they are minors. With the way the Franklin county prosecutor has been handling juvenile crime in central Ohio I’d imagine the punishment won’t be nearly as harsh as ...

As you look at the pairings it's difficult not to see how teams that wrestled an easier schedule were rewarded with higher seeds. Kudos to those coaches for developing their guys and understanding ho ...

Minnesota and Rutgers are having really solid tournaments. In the post Gable Stevenson era the Gophers continue to develop solid guys. No champs, but solid dudes. Michigan is performing like a vete ...

Wheels are coming off boys. Rygo and Welsh go down. Big Ten wrestling is so tough. Maybe Geog pulls an upset. Bucks have a lot of conso work to do to salvage. They are losing all the toss ups, an ...

The Bousakis loss stings, but he has shown repeatedly that he is a nightmare on the backside of tournaments. I would expect nothing less here. I don’t think we will get any points out of McCrone a ...

Well..no one can say the Bousakis/ Teske match wasn’t exciting. This is going to sound stupid but it was predictable. When Nic struggles it’s when he is right off the scale. That’s been the c ...

McCrone drops his rematch against Pederson. Pretty poor match management during the last minute of the match. He loses on a riding time point in which the match was tied 2-2 with a minute left and P ...

I think I’ve been pretty consistent in stating that I’d be very surprised to see Carson back. In five collegiate and four high school seasons he was healthy for maybe two seasons. His luck and h ...

McCrone’s match was frustrating to watch. Very defensive, and resorted to the same style of match that occurred on the backside of the Michigan State open. He gets it done, with an overtime positi ...

Certainly how this post season ends will dictate a lot, but I’d be very surprised to see Karchla and certainly Sasso back. Watching Sammy’s presser prior to the dual it seems clear that he has a ...

I watched the Mich/Nebraska match and was surprised Gomez tried to throw Lovett so early in the match and put himself in a 7-0 hole. Later he got to Lovett's legs and in hindsight he would have had a ...

So here’s a question for you all. Where does Iowa finish nationally in comparison to the other Big Ten schools? No one is touching Penn State. They beat Nebraska in a dual but got beat by Michiga ...

Jared: Excellent observations. What's your take on Hepner?
To quote one of my favorite movies, wedding crashers, he’s a stage five clinger. Funky, solid scrambler but not elite, and somewhat l ...
