Brock Kehler signed this morning (sigh of relief)

It never made it on ESPN+ that I could find, I watched it on my laptop from the Rider web site 125 Schaffer won a 1-0 decision 133 Jett Strickenberger won by fall in the 2nd 141 Jordan Titus won by fall in the 3rd 149 Ty Watters won by tech fall 16-1 157 Caleb Dowling lost a 7-3 decision 165 Peyton ...

Kind of Big news with Brock Kehler announcing his commitment to WVU wrestling

I don't want to argue with wrestlestat but Anthony was not on the team this past season with 0 matches

I'll ask a friend from Moundsville who knows him.

I believe Anthony Carmen is clear out of wrestling now. He went to the military last year and hung up his wrestling shoes last I heard. Unless he decided to return to wrestling room and I have not heard about it.

Tommy Maddox ( a name that may make Steelers fans cringe ) 133 from buffalo has transferred to West Virginia , seems that If Jett goes 125 again then Maddox with be the 133, he is a 6th year guy with a losing record every season and got crushed by every high level opponent he’s faced and wrestlesta...

Hopefully they enforce the center of the circle aspect now in the rules, it has been frustrating over the years watching wrestlers from some schools who have been taught to "wrestle the edge" with a lead in a match. The technique was permitted within the rules and perhaps smart wrestling t...

Will RL be there?

Basically they have moved to the college rules with the exception of adding a riding time point

Great job SSAC, 45 returning placers in 2 regions combined, the other 2 have 20 combined

So the already unbalanced AAA regions are going to become even more unbalanced. I realize that because of geography that it is difficult to move schools to balance them but it would seem that there was no effort to do so at all. I don't follow A/AA much but it looks like no effort was made there to ...

I just learned yesterday that WVU added Mason Kernan who was named outstanding wrestler yesterday at the Pittsburgh Classic

I have been hearing some numbers for NIL that just seem ridiculous, I would love to know if these numbers are for real. Is there anyone who knows a wrestler personally or their family that can confirm some of these numbers? No need for names etc just confirmed NIL in dollars.

Conventional wisdom says he had to take down but I think you may be correct, he sure benefited being on top for the 3rd against Parco

A same season solution should have been being used all along, basing qualification off of a previous season is asinine.

We all worry about a solid lineup from top to bottom, myself included, Duals are fun and help a school get ranked etc. But the truth is a program is judged by their point total at the end of the NCAA tourney. WVU finished 17th but all of those points except for 1/2 of a point were scored by 2 guys. ...

Consistent top 15 is realistic, consistent top 10 is a big jump but doable with the lots of right kind of support,

Speaking of Sanderson I wonder if he showed Rune any interest and if not, why not

Gavin Teasdale was the last 4 timer graduating in 2018, he never made it at Penn State or Iowa and is now a MMA fighter. There have only been 14 four timers in PA so I would guess Rune is the first

Titus gets the at large as expected but he is the only Mountaineer to do so. Robins is the 1st alternate which is a crock of you know what. Can't understand how Hopkins or Anderson gets in over Robin's. My only guess is that they wanted to let some in from smaller schools. Robin is higher ranked an...

There are only 5 at large bids at 141, I have not looked closely at the other conference tournaments but it is doubtful that there were that many top 10 wrestlers who did not qualify in their conference tourneys. I would guess he is safe for an at large but the concern is the nature of his injury

Lawrence has a Finals match today that some are calling one of the biggest matches ever in PIAA championships history where he will take on a returning state champion, Johnson from Muncy. Anyone want to share their Flo login in for a day?
