Wow, that really blows. Hopefully the program can scratch some NIL money together to get the Harvard kid. Otherwise with no upperweight coach or SKWC member to workout with, I see it being a real tough pull. I highly doubt Jimmy Larson showing up once in a while will be enough.

Not really.. maybe pre college but he didn’t look too good at Rider.. not sure if he would win the starting job here. But yeah if we are looking for more depth/doesn’t cost too much/ build a pipeline possibly? Then sure why not …
Need Sea Bass to put in a good word here. He'd be just what the doctor ordered.
After an unimpressive start, would he even be expecting money? Was he getting scholarship at Rider?
I'll take Cannon for 133 please
Hope so lol.. but would have to imagine Shawver transfers out if he came?? Unless CC 41 Joey O 49 and someone mentioned white to 65? Lol
Would be a massive pickup and makes sense given he's graduated, from NJ, and at a weight of potential need.
If Cannon can go 141, that'd be ideal as it would allow Peterson to stay at 125 and Shawver to go 133. Olivieri can move up to 149, and I heard White is trying to bulk up to 165. Might need some serious work all around in the weight room, but if the team can pull it off, things will look much better next season.
Cannon has two years of eligibility(of course if he wants to use both). If he wants to go 133, so be it. If he wants to go 141, that would allow Olivieri to redshirt. Olivieri struggled at 141, IMHO he is not ready for 149 next season. We also have not seen Shawver at 133 yet. Sometimes guys who bump up it works, sometimes it does not work.
Almost too similar to Seabass transfer 🤔🤔.. both woulda been 2x AA Grad student w/ 2 more year eligibility prior to coming to RU, both attended Northwestern prior to transfer, both prior from NJ, and both wrestled at 133… very eerily similar coincidences 🤔🤔
Some coincidental similarities but not quite Rivera level. And he went 1-2 in this year's NCAA tournament. Are you sure he has two more years of eligibility?
They both from same home state, wrestled same weight, both 2xAA, both from NW, if CC goes to RU(I like how we r all talking bout it like it’s likely) I mean has that ever happened in history of transfer? I think CC has 2 eligible years if he chooses to use it.. not 100%(kinda like how Cstar can be 5x champ n wrestle 5 seasons if he wants bc Covid year)…
Wow everyone hitting the portal, college wrestling is becoming more like professional sports free agency
What about Trevor? I don’t think it was clear whether he left the team or was injured.
I don't think he gave a moment of thought to Rutgers the first time around. He selected a storied program and will likely do it again while attracting big money. He'd be on a collision course here with Harer, potentially.
Sorry I was thinking of Trevor. He wouldn’t really fit here with Peterson and shawyver
Probably wasn't paying a dime at Rider ( one of the highest ranked recruits in Rider History? or close to it ) . Hunter was a 2x NJ Champ and ranked pretty high Nationally . I wouldn't call his True Freshman year too unimpressive because he did win starting spot, won 16 bouts and started season 10-2 against a good schedule. Beat our NCAA Qualifier O'Neil 12-5... The D1 grind/injuries caught up to him as a True Frosh and he struggled late...Would love to add him to roster with a RS year and 3 years of eligibility left. No Big $ yet but that can change
Maybe he would, personally I don’t think he would beat Peterson but a lot on the board are in favor of having weights 3 deep with quality depth.. in case if starter goes down, we got a NQ to back up to win the dual, and if the backup goes down we got a backup to the backup.. no weights shall be forfeited! And w/ 3 guys that can all start in a weight it would create iron sharpens…..Iron where the starter will be pushed to the moon.
Can’t imagine anyone would transfer in to play 2nd or 3rd fiddle. And while I agree on the iron/iron, there’s only so much money to go around. This is why the portal has been lighting up like a Christmas tree more recently
Pretty sure that was some sarcasm from Kiddagger
Cannon would fit in perfectly wit the timeline over there.. don’t think PSU had anyone good backing up RBY to take his spot at 33… have a feeling they will recruit over Howard too at 125.
