Understood -- but people here expect a transfer who will supplant Mirasola. Not someone who will compete with him and/or serve as quality depth.I'm fairly certain they are looking to add a 285. They are almost always looking to add 285 AND 125, they don't like just having one guy at these weights, it leaves you with no alternatives if something goes wrong. Pretty sure they wanted the guy who went to Michigan, but NIL works a little different here than at other schools (not that we have a lack of it).
And before all the nervous Nellie's here get their panties in a wad, yes, this has been discussed with the Mirasola's. They have high confidence that they can turn Cole into a national champ, but that's part of the deal here. If you don't want to compete, you can go, but the competition is what gets you to the top of the podium.
A lot more wrestlers understand this than message board posters, both here or on GIA.
And folks here are setting themselves up for disappointment. That type of guy is unlikely to become available for any school to pick up.
A Catka type is more likely and for the board, completely unsatisfying.
That is, unless that Vake Jarner guy still has eligibility. He's supposedly pretty good.
