What Weights Do We Target and Who Do We Target in Transfer Portal?

[Bobbynieds]

Weird.
Boone taking visits makes me think the staff has someone lined up for heavyweight.
Boone is a top 33 Heavyweight.
We don't currently have anyone better on the roster.
I don't see him progressing from a NCAA qualifier to an AA, but I have been wrong many times before.

Exactly. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out and possibly why it went in this direction.

Gotta give Boone props for improving this year.. it’s not easy to do in d1.. wonder why he is transferring.. perhaps getting better offers elsewhere? He’s a solid HWT, Either way, with so many names in the portal I’m curious how many actually find a new home out of all of them..

Boone Mcdermott visited Lockhaven.

What would he be accomplishing?

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

I hope the Harvard guy isn't "who they had in mind"; we aren't getting him. The NW heavy would be even better, but I don't see him coming either.

 

[njsportsphan]

Def bummed to see Boone go.

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Me too. He was solid, and now we're in big trouble again at that weight.

If we don’t get any transfer I’m curious how Casale would do at hwt.. he was a good prospect out of hs.. 40-50 big board ranking… he’s more of a 215 tweener weight tho..

I’m not sure what his thinking is.

What little we saw of him, he didn’t look even close to stepping in to be a starter in the B1G. I really hope the staff has a better plan than elevating someone on the current roster.

Damn that’s disappointing.. he looked like he had real potential coming out of h.s… d1 is hard..

 

[SCNJ]

I think Lock Haven or somewhere similar is a good move for Boone. He’d be towards the top of a conference like that while he’s middle of the road in the big 10. Not sure off the top of my head which NQs are retuning but I would assume he’d have a decent chance at a conference championship, top 3 for sure, and a NQ bid. Wish him well.

Huh? Casale wrestled 4 matches last year at the Princeton open. He faced 3 lesser wrestlers and pinned them all and in his lone D1 match he only lost 4-2 to a 6th year senior and 3x national qualifier.

Are you thinking of Odonnell who was an auto pin/tech fall?

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Casale is probably too small to be a big ten heavy.

 

[UnderHooks]

Casale is probably too small to be a big ten heavy.

Maybe they put him on that Boone workout program

 

[LETSGORU91]

Casale is probably too small to be a big ten heavy.

Gotta pack some lbs on. Cassar wasn't B1G enough but he did right. Snyder undersized heavy and understood he was a special talent. Boone on the move for something. What's the reason? Casale took over? Incoming transfer?

 

[CollegeFBfan]

Mineo saying the portal is about to get another boost. Hmmm wonder who now.

It would be disappointing if he goes to PSU. He looked good at Min

Lucas Davidson to Michigan. That may open the door for the Harvard guy.

Let’s hope or else Boone leaving is a very curious decision

 

[Peteras9144]

Why is nagao leaving.

Why is nagao leaving.

$$$

Boone is looking to see what his $ value is. Testing the NIL market.

 

[mikemessner]

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Nagao going to state penn I think. Hopefully we manage to land some guys..

Mytych had a “Rutgers on the move” tweet earlier. Not sure what it means but hopefully some good news coming.

Based on pats post thinking the Harvard heavy.. just a guess

My God, thank the lord if true.

2x AA @ 125, DeAugustino bout to hit the portal soon too.. that’s 3 AA northwestern loses.. what’s going on over there..

Bringing him on board has been a huge addition. Good job by Goodale in recognizing that.

I can’t imagine Northwestern is in a great place in terms of geographic location and athletic history to be big players in the NIL world

Sigh. What once consisted of loyalty and pride has turned into:

Unless these kids have graduated, instead of realizing the value of a NW education, they might be sacrificing it for dollars. Sigh. What once consisted of loyalty and pride has turned into:

In 99% of jobs no one cares what school you went to. These guys are going to where they can get money now and get the best wrestling opportunities

You are probably right...I fixed it.

Only 24 wrestlers are allowed on the team. I don't think they keep any grad students.

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Yup, he was 2nd fiddle at Michigan.
