Some kids just want a better chance to wrestle and not be a room guy. Psu had some good people not just wrestlers leave.

Interesting saga.
He redshirts as a true freshman
As a redshirt freshman, wrestling 141, he qualified for Nationals, where he went 0-2
As a redshirt sophomore, wrestling 141, he qualified for Nationals, where he went 0-2
As a redshirt junior, wrestling 133, he only lost 2 times in the regular season (Daton Fix and Michael McGee), and looked to be in good shape to place at Nationals. Alas, he got got hurt at the EIWA Championships, and couldn't continue in them, or go to NCAAs
As a redshirt senior, he looked to be one of the top guys in the country @ 133. He wrestled in the NWCA All-Star Classic, and defeated Sam Latona of VT. However, he lost in a wrestle-off at Lehigh to Ryan Crookham, 6-3, SV-1, so he was replaced by Crookham in the Lehigh lineup (Crookham finished 3rd at NCAAs).
So with Crookham blocking his path at Lehigh, McGonagle elected to transfer. And he picked VT, where I believe Sam Latona still has a year of eligibility left (rumors that he's moving up to 141)
No. I say what I want. If we all had the same opinions and uses of free speech, everything would come down to looks, and, thusly, not end well for you. #RunningFromAFightAGibson
I'll take Things You Would Never Say to His Face for $1000, Alex.
He’s like 5’3, I’m a foot plus taller than him. I’d have to squat way over.
How are you at fighting from flat on your back, cause that's where you'll be.
Isn’t this the kid Cochran man handled while being grossly undersized? Title contender? That’s some major optimism there from RU.
Does Michigan recruit HS anymore or just the portal?
I think it's somewhat fair despite that outcome yes. He is a returning All-American, after all. Kerkvliet and Hendrickson are the class of the weight (assuming the former comes back) but if you were listing off the five title contenders at 285 Slavikouski is probably on it.
So, it appears that service academy graduates can delay their military obligation.
That's right. It is allowed as part of a bill that was passed in 2023. This is talking football, not continued college competition, but some details here:
Kind of saw it coming when Iowa offered him 500k well before he “entered the portal”…
Man, I knew this was coming but I just don’t like it. Football. Yep. Basketball. I guess. Wrestling. Sheesh. Color me as ‘old man’. I hope that the NIL thing gets cleaned up, I will miss the days of amateur athletics.

An Amine is leaving Michigan - can’t be. The ‘ultimate’ and most annoying MI wrestling fambly
Hmmm...what schools are looking for wrestlers who are averse to shooting & scoring points??
Until there is a post sunkist funding plan I would not be surprised by any ASU guys jumping in.
Glad it worked out for him there. Was always a very nice kid.
