Wrestling Portal News

Tom Crook and Gage Wright in the transfer portal. Guess Wright couldn't fix his academic issues. Crook likely odd man out in the group around 141 with Bassett etc coming in.

I was steeling myself for some really bad news opening this thread. Thank goodness, it doesn't sound that bad.

Nc state loses Zepada. That's a big blow to them (I love it) And there's rumors that Vincent Robinson will be in a Nebraska singlet next season

Reading NC State also losing Luca Felix, Latrell Schafer, and Troy Hohman

UNC Jake Dailey entering with 3 years left at 184.

Tough to sift through the April Fools bullshit and what's real.

Don't know how much I believe this guy after how his stint at Princeton ended and everything else in the news points to these guys being in the portal was because they couldn't get into Stanfords graduate programs.

What is the backstory on him leaving Princeton?

Seen alot of talk about towards the end he wasnt nearly as invested in his athletes or doing what was best for them and more about what was best for him. Apparently the last few classes at Princeton had very little nice to say about him. Could just be sour grapes since he left to take the Stanford job but seemed a bit more than that.

Who is V ROB ?

2 time all American and 2025 national champion at NC State. Acts like a jackass. Glad I don't have to see him during the regular season again

Willie confirmed today on the Baschamania podcast that Jared Haught is leaving and the replacement is already a done deal. He wouldn't say who the new addition to the coaching staff is. While it's tough to see Tech move on from one of the program's best, I think we all agree that it was time to shake things up for the upper weights and find someone that can help them take the next step. Sasso and Mullen have shown flashes and have all the athleticism, just need to be consistent. Best wishes to Haught in the future.

Agreed. It was time

Alot of people think Seidel isn't making 133 again next season. So if that happens. Garcia will come in and start right away. If Seidel can make it to 133 again. He'll redshirt

Is Seidel going to 141? How does that effect the Bassett/Henson mix? I have to think if Henson wants 149 next year, its his.

Then Bo or Seidel redshirts. I think if that's the situation. Seidel Redshirts. Then Bo moves up to 149 his Sophomore season

I think this is correct. You don't redshirt Henson this year to then redshirt Bo the next. They'll be dialing in Seidel's nutrition all summer to help make the pull as easy as possible (going to be hard regardless).

Hearing TJ Stewart is back but not sure if thats just at SERTC or both

Will be a redshirt-freshman if that's even a thing based on 5 to play 5. He went 9-4 in three tournaments. Finished 5th at the Tournament of Champions after going 5-1 and 4th at the Soldier Salute Tournament. Also is a Virginia kid returning home.

High school he was a 3x state champ and finished 2nd in the other. Won a National Prep Championship as well.
