He's affilliated with ben askren's club and was not happy at Cal Baptist. Wonder if Kharchla isn't coming back?        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Jim Kessen added to this discussion on March 30, 2023 Quote from Hank Kornblut's post: "Interesting.

Hopefully it helps that Bouzakis and Feldman were teammates of his on the U20 World Team. Also a couple of tOSU coaches listed there....Logan and Jaggers. https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2022/August/08/U20-Worlds-roster-and-schedule        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Jared Ball added to this discussion on March 31, 2023 If a world teamer is available you nab them pronto. Hepner and Kharchla both have multiple years of eligibility remaining, and Welch arrives on campus this fall. It’s not a need, but again if there is mutual interest you get him. I wonder if this is more of a scenario where he just happened to list OSU as 1 of his 5 schools of interest and they are entertaining the idea. Why would he choose to go to Cal Baptist in the first place? Full ride?        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on March 31, 2023 Quote from Jared Ball's post: "If a world teamer is available you nab them pronto.

Why would he choose to go to Cal Baptist in the first place? Full ride?" When Cal Baptist recruited him, he was coming off a couple disappointing performances including a dnp in Fargo. At that time he looked like a lower end D1 recruit. Then he jumped levels (his words according to a Flo interview he did in January). He probably wants to be in a better environment. Do the Bucks need a 165? What is Kharchla's plan?        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Bob Preusse added to this discussion on March 31, 2023 Quote from Jared Ball's post: "If a world teamer is available you nab them pronto. .....

Based off that I’m surprised Brooks didn’t come to Ohio state.        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on April 8, 2023 I have not yet seen Jordan Decatur listed in the portal. Am I missing something?        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Justin Hayes added to this discussion on November 4, 2024 Quote from Justin Hayes's post: " Quote from Nick Lecklider's post: "If someone wants to bet right now who will be a better team in 2 years at ncaas I will put money on Ohio state." I'll bet you a $20.00 gift card from Pizza Hut that Penn State will place higher than Ohio State at the 2025 NCAA tournament while simultaneously hoping I lose the bet. Deal? *Niemann to arbitrate; loser mails the gift card to the winner." The 2024-2025 season is about to begin...        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Mark Niemann added to this discussion on November 4, 2024 <thumbup>        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Michael Rodriguez added to this discussion on November 4, 2024 Interesting to go back in the Time Machine and read about the demise of PSU wrestling.        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Jim Kessen added to this discussion on November 5, 2024 Sounds like Vince B. has reopened his recruitment and according to Willie is leaning towards Lehigh.        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Mark Niemann added to this discussion on November 5, 2024 Quote from Michael Rodriguez's post: "Interesting to go back in the Time Machine and read about the demise of PSU wrestling." With Cael being on the hot seat right now, I’d be shocked if “the demise” doesn’t happen soon. It’s inevitable. I just hope he lands on his feet somewhere. …not wishing ill on anyone. ;-)        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Rob Wagner added to this discussion on November 6, 2024 I think with NIL these days its tough to predict the future. A guy can leave at any time, or a team can easily reload (Iowa) specifically through the portal. Much tougher to gauge whats ahead. Do I think OSU is in a good spot, sure but I can't say "Oh Penn St or Iowa lost 5 starters next year, they may rebuild a year or two. OSU a favorite to finish top 3." No chance.        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on November 6, 2024 Quote from Jim Kessen's post: "Sounds like Vince B. has reopened his recruitment and according to Willie is leaning towards Lehigh." Ouch.        Discussion Topic: Ohio states future Nick Lecklider added to this discussion on November 7, 2024 When I made the call that this would be the year that Ohio state could overtake Penn state a few things changed. First I didn’t realize Kirkvliet, Bartlett, and Starroci all still had eligibility and would come back. Second they picked up a world class wrestler in Messenbrink from the transfer portal. That’s nearly 100 points at ncaas right there. Nil and and the transfer portal have changed college wrestling greatly since then. Ohio state should have been a clear second place finisher this year but Oklahoma state and Iowa both added many parts to their rosters in the portal. College wrestling has really changed. I still feel like they have a chance at second with probably 5th being the lowest they finish. All depends on who is wrestling and how healthy people are. As for recruits Vinny B is not that big of loss imo. He took some bad losses this summer and his stock dropped quite a bit. It may have to do with his brother. Nick may be unhappy with Davino and the heavy recruitment of Blaze. Blaze is a must get to be in any sort of contention in the future. Bo Bassett is visiting this weekend. He is down to 15 schools. I am still calling he ends up a buckeye. Just too many things that make sense for him to be in Columbus. His two biggest sponsors max muscle and Rudis are based in Columbus. His biggest strength and conditioning coach Meyer’s is here. Tom Ryan and his deep faith. Then he has mentioned he wants to be close to home. Eliminates ok state and Iowa. Ohio state just needs to come up with a little cash more than likely and it happens. ( maybe a lot). You heard it here first Bassett is a Buckeye. Next year Ohio state could make a run if they land Blaze. If Penn state lands Blaze it’s just unfair. Oklahoma state may be the team to worry about in a couple years. Taylor has already done terrific in his short time.        ► Add to the Discussion Page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7  Next
