Class of 2026 # 1 recruit and World Champ Bo Bassett started his recruitment “open to every team” and has been eliminating 7 schools a week…Now while I never expected him to go to WVU he has officially crossed them off the list as of today unfortunately pretty early in the process Other teams he cro...

Mesenbrink isn’t going 157. So the weight hasn’t cleared out completely. Still have Caliendo, Teemer is moving up, Ramirez, garvin and Taylor. It’ll still be tough for him to AA. I don’t think Hogan can hold 184 or Rune 197 for long. It’d be great if they could tho. Then everything lines up perfect...

A new “pro” wrestling league is starting up , first event is at independence high school is Ashburn, Virginia on June 23th. Jett and Caleb Dowling will be competing . Biggest names competing overall seems to be Daniel Lewis and former ncaa finalist (and German world team and Olympic member) Kizhan C...

I don't want to argue with wrestlestat but Anthony was not on the team this past season with 0 matches https://wvusports.com/documents/2023/11/27/WRES_-_2023-24_Season_Stats.pdf I'll ask a friend from Moundsville who knows him. Stumbled upon Anthonys social media this weekend and you were correct ,...

Wrestlestat.com is pretty up to date with rosters and it has Carmen listed on the roster at 184 with about 7 other 184s and no Cooley at all

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...

The line up next year will look very similar to last years as things stand right now .Strong possibility we ll only have 2 new starters in the line up . If Jett is planning on going 125 again then Maddox a recent transfer from buffalo will be the starter at 133 , I wouldn’t expect him to be much bet...

Tommy Maddox ( a name that may make Steelers fans cringe ) 133 from buffalo has transferred to West Virginia , seems that If Jett goes 125 again then Maddox with be the 133, he is a 6th year guy with a losing record every season and got crushed by every high level opponent he’s faced

Ethan Oakley From App state is also in the portal , he was a NQ at 133 and upset Latona from V-Tech at ncaa ..Oakley and Askey are both grad transfers I believe so if the plan is for Jett to go 125 again next year it would be nice to try and bring both guys in as a package deal , no indications they...

Obviously doesn’t affect WVU but it does affect WV’s best high school wrestler Gage Wright. With Lewis leaving Vtech I thought Wright had a very good shot at going right in and starting as a true freshman. He still might but with Wolak being an AA at 174 it looks like Wright will get a redshirt yea...

The biggest problem with the NIL system is that it is very loosely regulated and there are too many loopholes that don't protect the smaller schools from the larger schools who want to poach their athletes. The only way Ty Watters or any other rostered athlete should be allowed to be contacted by a...

I think this could be a thread to have a legitimate discussion about and to inform others of the NIL deals being offered behind closed doors. I have heard from a couple of reliable sources, with direct knowledge, of just how much money some of the top athletes in NCAA wrestling are making on their ...

Overall, I like the draws the WVU guys got for each of their weight classes. With all the parody in the 125 pound weight class, I think Jett fits right in and I like his chances to make the Round of 12. He definitely seems to wrestle better the deeper he gets into a tournament. Jordan Titus has bea...

Titus needs an at large bid now, anyone see what happened in his Edmund match? Concussion? Hopefully he gets an at large he deserves one

Word around Wisconsin is that Amos will be transferring out in the off-season after his Olympic redshirt. 2 years left , WV kid and plan is for him to wrestle heavyweight . Obviously he would fit perfectly replacing Wolfgram at heavy, but the question Is with his goal of making Greco teams would he ...

I think Watters can definitely AA this season it may be draw dependent but he’s 1 of the 12-14 guys at the weight that can make the podium this year and with over 2 months of big 12 matches coming up to build some confidence and his really high bonus rate I think he ll be R12 worst case come march 1...

I know there has been a lot of doubt with Flynn and the slow rebuild it seems like at times but you can’t help but be optimistic after midlands. Even with Strickenberger having a rough 0-2 weekend the team looked great . Titus teching an AA in the finals , Watters with 3 more bonus wins and a runner...

Nice win over Northern Colorado. Thought they wrestled way better. How did we not get a transfer at 133. They had to know this was a monster hole. It’s a good day if the other team only gets 4 points here. I wonder if Titus going 141 screwed this up but it’s no excuse since Flynn and company have k...

in the portal as a grad transfer but also fighting with the ncaa for his final year of eligibility, word is he’s looking for his new school to help him out with that ( ncaa being difficult because he was hurt preseason during the free Covid year but only has 3 ncaa tournaments) Would be a huge get t...

WVU got a commitment today from Logan Sallot, finished 3rd in Pennsylvania as a senior , should be 125 for a few years
