It's going well. We interviewed a few candidates last week. We'll speak to a few more this week and then look to make a decision. What do these candidates weigh? All of them so far have been bigger guys that could work with our upper weights. That is at least some good news. Glad to have ya at WVU....

Holy &*^&( I can’t believe this is really true. Hate that Sullivan could possibly leave and that it’s a done deal that Noah is done?! He has two years left with the extra hear right? I could see not using the extra year but not really sure why he wouldn’t want to hold off a year to work and ...

Had to come on here to simply say the obvious, Amos is a beast, and a freakin pleasure to listen to talk in his interviews. Someone all the young athletes in WV should look to emulate. A great representative for the United States and ol WV. WORLD Gold in FS and Bronze in Greco Now I just hope he dec...

Did WV send a team?

How does Wvrtc decide who goes to juniors and u23s? Just surprised Hall or someone like Sullivan isn’t on there. Or Adams if he’s under 23. Maybe they’re injured who knows. Just curious. Surprised to see D’Alesio up at 86kgs.

Congrats on the Silver medal. The dude he was up against looked like he was on that Russian supplement program lol.

wv wrestling is watered down enough!

Agreed. If anything I’d rather go to one true champion but it’s fine how it is now.

Brothers above Edge. Didn’t he beat him freshman year for the title? I struggled how to place Brothers, Edge, and Bentley. All being at 182 last year and finishing 1, 2 and 4 made it tough. All had dominate seasons in 2021, Brothers took a loss to Bentley this year. I didn’t see any common opponent...

Quicho or Boyers? Boyers pulled the Kyle Dake winning four different weight classes. Has that ever been done? Is there anywhere to see the records of each wrestler? I assumed that would be on the brackets but it wasn’t. A lot of guys I’d like to see walk on to Wvu Umm Gavin Quiocho won 132, 138, 14...

Congrats on being the only wrestler to win both greco and freestyle.
Hoping to see him take down the Ford Focus next year lol

It would be nice if you could see the records of each kid. Small issue tho.

I think your opinion on this completely depends on what you think the most important thing is when considering the state championships. For instance, if your highest concern is hoping to increase participation by allowing the most kids to experience what they consider as success (i.e. winning title...

Like the state of New Jersey?? It’d be much more exciting and it’s make it a lot harder to win a title. Seems to be a lot of four timers recently than there ever was. Just looking for opinions is all. Quality of wrestling may increase but I think there will be a negative impact on participation. Th...

Seeding the state tournament is discussed every year. I have been involved in the past in these discussions. However, the discussions typically happen once the pill is released and before the tournament is wrestled. More of these comments are based on "after the fact" events. Based on thi...

Definitely seed them. It’d make upsets even better. The two best kids should in theory have a chance to meet in the finals. No idea who you would have rank them tho.

Found em lol. Thanks for posting.

Thanks. No AA brackets?

Good question. Would be nice. If not it’s definitely a missed opportunity.

So does Brock Kehler not wrestle for morgantown?

Had had a great year and an incredible tournament. One win away from being an AA in the deepest weight class in college. I’ve wondered all year why he isn’t 157. I mean he’s no a tiny 165, he’s definitely gotten bigger, but it’s not like he’s huge either. And 157 isn’t anywhere near as tough as 165.

Wasn’t he 170lb last year? Lol

In BOTH Greco and Freestyle. That’s just crazy. What an accomplishment.

I hope Ferrari goes to trials and hopefully Amos can work him over. Then get up and say, “700lb deadlift babaay”. Lol

Great tournament for him. Hall one more win away from being an AA as well. Both having amazing tournaments.

I would hope Sullivan gets an at large bid. Overall I’d have to think this was a disappointing weekend for wvu. Some good performances but some not so much. Not our best outing.

Hate Ferrari tho lol but he is damn good.

https://wvusports.com/news/2021/2/14/wrestling-wvu-completes-cowboy-challenge.aspx Disappointing day for WVU that showed that while the program is progressing, it still has a ways to go I don’t know if I’d say depressing. Three made the finals. No oe is touching Fix. An undersized 165 Hall took on ...

Adams with his first loss sucks but oh well. Adding Sullivan has definitely solified 133. 149.157,184 still needs to get better but we're so young. I think I'd give Dowling a shot at 157.
Getting better tho and slowly building that depth.
