Ryan Sullivan commited to PSU. Transfer from WVU, went to PITT before that.

Is this real? Haven’t seen any twitter or mineo posts about it.

Not sure if this site is a fan site, but the graphic has a BB imprint on it and doesn’t Beau do these for people?

Here it is from Sullivan's IG acct.

That tweeter handle is a fan who shares a lot of info, but unfortunately often without attribution. I don't think he deals in rumors -- everything I've seen from him was previous announcements, though not always easily found.

Sullivan enters national rankings

Redshirt freshman Ryan Sullivan of the West Virginia University wrestling team enters the national rankings for the first time in his collegiate career, as announced by several publications on Tues…

This is a nothing burger this season. I say he targets having an outside shot at 133 next year.

In the last two years, Rutgers national champ 1A (Suriano was first because his weight class happened to wrestle before AA's) left the program to wrestle at Michigan; national champ 1B left the coaching staff and the SKWC to wrestle elsewhere; two guys who showed a lot of promise fell off tremendously; the head of the SKWC left; now Alverez leaves. But there's not a problem in Piscataway - the program is still "headed in the right direction". Cue the swirling motion.

Spoke to a RUTGERS Bud last night who is a season tix holder. The worm is turning in regard to coaching. NJ has top talent at the HS level and good ole Scott’s stick has become stale. My friend would love to see Frank the Tank come back to Jersey.

Tom Ryan hasn't yet provided an NCAA release.

I think Frank woukd be a great hire. If it turns out he is a mediocre hire that's still a huge step forward.

Is that the guy who helps Ironturd look for raccoons and elephants?

NJ has been one of the top states for HS wrestlers for a long time and yet Rutgers is still in the bottom half of the BIG. I don't see that changing any time soon although maybe Frank could turn that around.

Lmao

 

[CropDuster507]

Seems as though coaches are almost better off moving on every 3 or so years, if a person's goal was simply to win. Get some articles, rile up a fanbase, and bask in the possibilities. Leverage that to recruit heavy. Start a hashtag. If it doesn't hit on the hype/results, 5 other jobs have added that same level of a coach, with the same rollout.

Maybe a little less than say football, but the point remains, I think.

Sammy Alvarez is on the move, and it appears he has landed in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

The former Rutgers star let FloWrestling know of his intentions to compete for Oklahoma State. While his weight class is uncertain, the junior transfer will likely slot in at 141 or 149 for the 2023-24 season. He is currently enrolled at OSU and taking classes this semester.

Good idea for a kid that can’t make weight to go to a program notorious for demanding ludicrous weight cuts.

 

[RealMicah]

Good for Alvarez. John Smith will learn him up on that starvation diet and he’ll fit in nicely at 133 when Fix graduates

 

[creamery freak]

55 gallon drums of diet water being delivered to Sammy's new apartment as we speak. John says " he don't need no stinking groceries!"

Flip side is they do seem to be “the best at it” for what that’s worth. And they’re also in the bottom half of team health come March most years.

Taken fresh from a Mexican river.

 

[tullfan68]

I am surprised Alverez transfer to OK ST as much as he hates to lose weight,I am guessing Smith wants him for 125 next yr!!LOL

[mjmirv]

I wonder if Truax is looking to wrestle 197 or 184 (his weight last season)?

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Bernie in the portal.

So how will fit into Iowa's lineup, LOL.

I’m sure Ironturd has his name in Iowa’s lineup in permanent marker AND has him winning NCAAs.

"Iowa's lineup" and "winning NCAAs" in the same sentence? <snicker>

 

[Chickenman Testa]

125 and 197 are the 2 toughest weights to recruit long term when looking to fill a roster . Will a kid stay at 125 for 4 years or grow out of it. Just the opposite at 197. Does a solid big kid fill out and move up? I doubt the Cael and Co. envisioned Bo going up to 197 when he was recruited.

Bump.

 

[Random4598375]

"Iowa's lineup" and "winning NCAAs" in the same sentence? <snicker>

They had three champions (Spencer, Woods, Kennedy) and a runner up (Warner) in their minds this year, so that’s what’s important for setting expectations for next year.

Iowa can have the corrosive elder Ferrari all day if we get Truax. Ferrari would blow that room up and Bernie would fit right into ours

 

[Chickenman Testa]

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Who else thinks Truax has the ideal body type to level up working with DT and Cael

Ankle picks for days

 

[Ian]

Is this a legitimate possibility? Will PSU screw this up like they did Wick? Wow.

 

[mjmirv]

Truax graduating makes things a lot easier. Wick never graduated.

 

[James P. Whitters III]

Honestly Truax would be a great fit at PSU based on what I have seen of his personality and wrestling style. He could perhaps become an NCAA champ to end his career.
