Good pickup for ISU. Bockman is pretty tough and slots in nicely for them

And as a reward he gets the pleasure of wrestling Mitchell Mesenbrink, or Levi Haines if he moves up 😂
Makes sense for the Goofers. Askey outscored his predecessor (Blockus) at nationals. Before this move, their presumed starter was career 27-33 and 4-8 in 2024.
Hey Ferrari clan, we're sorry, tomorrow is a new year.The panic in Iowa City is palpable
The Ferrari thing reminds me of that Pringles potato chip joke by Mitch Hedberg, they thought they were getting tennis balls and ended up with potatoesHey Ferrari clan, we're sorry, tomorrow is a new year.
And so it's begins again???
Let's hope so.

I don’t think he has a chance at a title, but his sister Annie has a shot.

We've had some discussion about this over in the coaching carousel thread.Ben Askren supposedly just met with the Wisconsin AD. Since he is also quitting FLO....could he be the next Head Wrestling coach? If so....how might that affect the Mirasola brothers? Askren Acadamey could be a great feeder system.
Thanks. Haven't been on for a while....as you can tellWe've had some discussion about this over in the coaching carousel thread.
He had to transfer -- this was his 4th year. Bucknell is like the Ivies, 4 years and out, no shirting and no grad students. So he was leaving anyway, just a matter of where. He did not compete in 2022, so that's his shirt year once he transfers even though Bucknell wouldn't let him use it as such.Weirdly enough, I actually had a heads up on this one back in February after talking with his dad. I was curious to see if making nationals would change his mind, but evidently it didn’t. Great get for Gannon
Bucknell recently has been able to get more athletes into dual majors making them eligible to redshirt. As far as I know that is the only way they can there. Coach Wirns said in an interview that about half of their incoming class last year was able to get into dual majors. Also they expect to be fully funded by the time that glass graduates. I still don’t think that they take transfers or grey shirts.
Fellow bucknellion. Nice. I was there 22 years ago. Hoping wrestling program continues to growI can’t speak to the wrestling team specifically, but when I was there >20 years ago transfers in were rare but possible.
Anyone is welcome to PSU and compete for a position (ala Max Dean), but I can't see any weight other the possibly heavy that any transfer will be a game changer for whether PSU wins or loses at NCAA's in 2025. Even heavy is a marginal difference for the team championship. Just my opinion...I think Foca will have plenty of suitors at 184 if he transfers. I have no interest in him coming to challenge for 184. The difference between him and Barr (if there is a difference at all) is not nearly enough to tip any scales. If he’s sick of cutting or something and wants to come and move up, OK, I guess, but I’m plenty fine with Cochran, too.
PSU has a 70+ pt lead in returning points. So barring injuries, plural, no import will affect the 2025 team title.Anyone is welcome to PSU and compete for a position (ala Max Dean), but I can't see any weight other the possibly heavy that any transfer will be a game changer for whether PSU wins or loses at NCAA's in 2025.

It’s going to take a shitload of injuries to derail the train next year. They could have Davis, Kasak, Sealey, Ryder, and both Mirasolas all redshirting and available to come out to cover injuries (along with Super Roomguys Barraclough & Evans still around as well), so they’ll have AA level backups at almost every weight, too.PSU has a 70+ pt lead in returning points.

Guess Eddie V is going to be the 125 next year. Interesting where Flynn ends up as he is from the South and there are only so many programs down there
Feel like Michigan or Iowa makes the most sense.
Fixed it up for ya!Feel like any time someone enters the portal they go to Michigan.
Iowa makes sense if either Flynn or Ayala is planning to move up to 133. As for Michigan, supposedly they brought in DeAug last year to give Horwath a year to RS (which he did). I don't think they're ready to give up on him even though his RS results weren't good. He was a pretty high rated recruit for them.Feel like Michigan or Iowa makes the most sense.
I think he may have been if he couldn't beat Ventresca. VT's lightweight coach did recently leave for Princeton so that could be part of itA day after McGonagle committed to Tech.
Was Cooper planning to go 133?
Larry Lee arranging a how is your health meeting between Slumlord Bob and young Mr. Parco?Parco in the portal? That’s surprising
And all that hard work will be for nothing when Van Ness returns. And if he doesn't? Mr. Kasak is on standby 😂Larry Lee arranging a how is your health meeting between Slumlord Bob and young Mr. Parco?
ASU has a monster waiting in the wings in Larkin. Took Yianni to the brink at OTT. This works best for both parties. Parco gets a nice payday and ASU gets their young star in the lineup without any competition fuss.Parco in the portal? That’s surprising
Any idea where Parco lands? Is Iowa an option?ASU has a monster waiting in the wings in Larkin. Took Yianni to the brink at OTT. This works best for both parties. Parco gets a nice payday and ASU gets their young star in the lineup without any competition fuss.
I'm sure they'll kick the tires at least. They recruited him the last time he transferred, but that was a much different situation. They have 3/4 younger guys who have had some success they might be willing to give another shot over paying a bag for a 6th year senior. I personally would pass on him. Track record is too shaky with those guys.Any idea where Parco lands? Is Iowa an option?
I would expect the usual suspect to take a swing. With their last rental now competing for Mexico, Michigan's next 149 is a career 7-7.Any idea where Parco lands? Is Iowa an option?
