Lol, sure. Cael brings in a National runnerup and sits him. He chose Rocco over Ryder. That is what college sports is today. No reason to blame Cael for doing it or blame Ryder for being pissed and leaving.
Go State. Cael knows what’s best for the program.
Always professional and classy. What if Barr had wanted to go 184. What would have happened then?
Even before Rocco chose State
End of discussion.

Pound sand dude you seem to be the only one that cares about ragass opinions out there you know what they say about opinions??-- Also as if anyone on the team is concerned about your "deepthoughts" on what opinions are out there???

Because I guarantee you Cael doesn't care who has an opinion out there about his team---- and his take /opinion is the only one that counts....guess you don't get that keyboard warrior

No, those of us who can actually complete an intelligent thought care. When you have the greatest college dynasty in existence, you don’t mess with success & perception outside the program matters. Hopefully you’ll one day mature & be able to understand these things that are obviously too deep for your present thoughts, if any.

It was up to Rocco whether he sat or not. At least it was until Ryder made it a little easier. Rocco still has to win the job. Mirasola could come down or Asher come up. It's not a gimme. Eocco did not exactly overwhelm opponents on his way to silver.

What a crock of ****. You are the one making a big deal of it. Think about that for a second capt obvious . No one on the program gives a **** of your assessment. Talk about needing to apply serious thought. You don’t mess with success? Ok Cochise so basically you’re saying Cael is ******* it up. Talk about delusional.

As other have posted clearly you have no idea how Cael has handled same scenarios. And yet the program is just fine. Oh dear what we wil do when Ruth and Taylor graduate. A real perception at the time Go back to clown school.

You obviously have the inability to read and comprehend the English language. You have yet to respond to anything that was actually posted. Instead you repost your one dimensional opinion by trying to come up with new words from your limited vocabulary. Come back & try again if you obtain that GED. Or maybe AI can be of assistance to you.

Cael brought in Welsh to test Ryder's loyalty?

Sometimes people can't accept that the easiest, most straight-forward answer that also happened to be reported is the correct one, and need to find other reasons.

Occam’s Razor. Few of us here shave.

Is there a chance that Barr goes back to 184? I haven’t seen anything definitive.
The only reason for the returning 197 national finalist and highest placing returner to drop to 184, is offseason fan imagination.

We do this every offseason -- change starters' weights because reasons.

In the real world, it's not happening. Barr earned the right to pick his weight -- and he's gonna shed 15 lb of good mass AND maintain that cut for at least a full year (if not multiple years)?

I wasn’t advocating for him to move, I was curious.

He’s headed to Stillwater. DT and the OK state $$$ are all in. There were rumors of this before Figs entered the portal. This along with the accusations that DT and staff had contact with Ryder before he announced for the portal make you wonder how many “conversations” DT had with guys who weren’t yet in the portal. Who regulates this Wild West?

April 1st was earlier, but it's never too late for a joke: I think that the NCAA is who "regulates" things?? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong...🤣

You are a pathetic inferior mind, & a childish name caller on top of that. Get someone close to you to help you read & understand the posts. There was never a comment about what folks inside the program cared about - that was your brilliant commentary. No doubt based on firsthand information because you clean the toilets in the wrestling room. My point was always what spin those OUTSiDE the program would put on it. And I was correct. I never criticized Cael because I haven’t heard his side of the story. Even if I hear it & disagree, I won’t criticize him. He’s earned respect & it’s his team. Nevertheless, outsiders trying to climb the mountain are going to trade on this, and the already are. I did not predict that the sky was falling. Once again, that was your illiteracy. The real clown can be seen in your mirror. Take a look when you are done coloring.

Any inkling as to why?
Probably a combination of things. His wife is from PA, and that was no small part of why he moved to PSU the first time.

Some smoke about he and Taylor not always seeing eye to eye as coaches, not sure how reliable that is.

Ultimately it would force Taylor to hire a new assistant AND deprive his lightweights of a world champ-level training partner.

Not exactly portal related, but rumor going around that Gilman is returning to PSU. This seems to have legs.
Wow. That’s big news, but where does that leave Lee?
I was not a fan of Gilman at Iowa, but I feel like he matured and became more comfortable with himself while at PSU. If this is what he wants, then let’s go. Come on back!

IMO this is half correct. History says Cael would've accepted Welsh anyway.

Not the first time I've heard about Taylor tampering with Cael's roster.

Also not the first time I've heard of PSU people being angry at Taylor. Aaron thinks Taylor leaked the drug test results in order to back door his way into the Olympics. Bo thinks Taylor sabotaged his shot at the U23 spot one year. Carter also isn't a fan.
I have heard similar sentiment in regards to Taylor leaving State College and some feeling it was time for him to go.

Absolutely Huge for the PSU light weights. He was the one guy we needed to stay when DT left. Will help 125, 133, and 141 be National Champions along with getting the best recruits in the world.

How long before Mineo starts posting about Spencer Lee heading to Stillwater?

It would be ironic if he came back to run M2. ;)
That would be a great move. Let Zain and Gillman run M2. They could still train in the NLWC plus wrestle with the team. That would attract a Ton of Elite high school wrestlers back to M2 like it was when DT was running it. As everyone knows M2 was a great funnel for the PSU program for recruiting 🥇
