125-Gill - Should be top 20 wrestler and NCAA qualifier 133-Strickenberger - Should be top 10 and NCAA qualifier 141-Titus - Top 30 and end of last year was better but has to bounce back. Maybe a NCAA qualifier 149-McD - Top 20/25 wrestler and should qualify 157-Watters - Top 5/10 wrestler and NCAA...

Good news for the Mountaineers, Willie McDougal announced on social media that he was committing to WVU. That gives them two very respectable transfers for next years lineup. That’s great news , we could put out a lineup with realistically 8 qualifers next season, not sure what the plan for 165 ( m...

No luck for West Virginia …we were selected as an alternate if another team drops out.disappointing to see Wyoming and Arizona state in over us

Peyton Keller in the transfer portal. He ll probably end up at a Michigan or Iowa but man what an absolute perfect fit Keller would be for us at 157, give Ty an AA to train with everyday 149 lb 6th place finisher redshirt freshman Ethan styles of Oregon state and 125/133 Tyler wells from Minnesota ...

Does the 30 man roster limit go into effect now? I noticed about 5 or 6 wrestlers hitting the portal out of WVU, including several of our 133/141 wrestlers? Word is the ncaa isnt going to enforce an immediate to hard cap of 30 but going to do it gradually, seems need to be down to certain number th...

NIL is getting out of control. It is another case of the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Good on Kyle and the coaching staff for reporting such an aggreges violation. If the NCAA gets enough of these complaints, they will have to eventually investigate for violations. WVU is one of those p...

I heard they tried last year and mentioned it on this board but did y’all see Coach Flynn and Bratke call out Iowa for trying to recruit Watters away from WV yesterday ,they had multiple posts on twitter , apparently a booster has been repeatedly calling Ty and his father leaving voicemails about th...

We could really use a lightweight 125/133 but the options seem very limited I would love to add a guy like Rathjen but if Watters is going 149 I wouldn’t mind adding Colten Washleski at 157 , put him with Ty everyday and he’s going to jump levels I like bush a lot he wrestles so hard but I think his...

There are over 150 names in the transfer portal, and there are some heavy hitters looking for new homes. Who are some guys from the portal that everyone wants to see show up in Morgantown. There are a lot of names that would surely improve every team's lineup but there are some spots in WVU's lineu...

The regular season is over, the Transfer Portal is open, and so far there are some big names looking for a new home next year. What are some thoughts on the holes WVU should be looking to fill. I would like to see the addition of a really solid guy to slot into the 157 or 165 spot. This would give ...

I like Jett’s path , Ventresca lost to spratley 10-1 this year and even if he loses that quarter his blood round would most likely be against the 8 or 9 seed , his path is currently Daugherty from NDSU then Rivera from Wisconsin who is real tough , Ventresca and would have Ayala in the semis Titus h...

The At-Large bids just came out and the Mountaineers add one more qualifier to the tournament. Dennis Robin got one of the wildcard spots after a disappointing Big 12 tournament. This gives them a total of 5 qualifiers to send to Philadelphia in two weeks. Unfortunately, Brody Conley ended up havin...

That's very good insight on Brody Conley and his chances of getting an at-large bid. I hate to see him end the season like this because his knee injury looked like it was due to dirty wrestling and just not a freak accident. In the end the team had two champions for the first time and a total of si...

I understand your disappointment, but I have a mixed reaction to yesterday's results of the BIG 12 tournament. To me the only disappointments was Conley and Robin. Conley is obviously injured so that is understandable even though I really like watching him compete. Hopefully he gets one of the at l...

Real disappointing tournament Jett Titus and Hall are the only guys to earn autobids day 1 Dowling will wrestle for an auto bid against Conway from Missouri tomorrow in the 7th place match if he loses a wildcard is unlikely Bush is still alive and looks great won back to back wrestlebacks 15-0 but n...

Not a great day, Robin looked awful , idk if he gets a wildcard, conley will need a wildcard as well no guarantee he gets one. Bush doesn’t have enough matches at 197 to qualify for a wildcard so he needs to win his next 3 the last being the #2 Novak/#3 Voelker semi to get a bid ..133 and 285 0-2 an...

The allocations are out for the BIG 12 conference tournament. Let's get some thoughts on the regular season and the upcoming post season. 125: Jett has had a good year and with 7 qualifying spots he should be safely in for the NCAA tournament. 133: Tommy Maddox will probably need a little help to q...

We need McAfee to spread some of that million dollar NIL money the wrestling teams way, I think this year is disappointing in the inj sense but not in results ..losing Ty was a major major blow , Cooley walking away was tough bc bush spent all that time slimming his body down to be an 184 and he’s r...

Robin got pinned in 20 seconds by Ohio state kid , was lat dropped almost immediately finishes 4-2 DNP but a solid tournament ….didnt realize they were wrestling for 7th - Robin beats the # 6 seed from Michigan bullock 4-2 another good win for Robin finishes in 7th and goes 5-2 on the weekend Hall w...

Totally agree, these are not the results anyone was hoping for. Jett is up a weight to help with the weight cut and is still showing signs of inconsistency. There was no reason for Jordan Titus to lose the match against Cael Happel. He was up 6-2 going into the 3rd period and gave up 3 takedowns. B...

I’m a pretty optimistic fan but this showing has been dreadful 125 Jace goes 2-2 DNP 133- Jett goes O-2 DNP 141 -Titus didn’t have anything for hardy and lost 10-1 , gave up early lead over Happel and lost 11-10 finishes 1-2 DNP 157- Gavronsky goes 2-2 DNP 165- Hall won a terribly officiated 1/4 fin...

Tough start to the weekend , no Watters, Lawerence or Wolfgram and no guys entered at 149 or 285 125- Jace was pinned by spratley but has won his first 2 wrestleback matches has Cornell kid next 133-Very disappointing day for Jett lost 6-1 to mauger from Utah valley then fell 9-1 to a Binghamton kid...

Mixed results tonight , Ty battled for 7 minutes but van ness is the best 149 in the country and you can’t make mistakes against the top guys and live to tell about it Peyton looked great, some great scrambles and got the score he needed in the 3rd and finished it with a pin like he has so many othe...

Anyone else having issues with ESPN plus app ? Tonight and last week I go to watch the dual on ESPN and it keeps telling the dual hasn’t started come back later when in reality it started an hour ago

Anyone know dates/times for WVU's 2024-25 schedule? So far: 11/2 WVU @ Southeast Open, VA, 9am 11/14 WVU @ Rider, 7pm 11/22 WVU @ Appalachian State, 7pm 12/15 Cal Baptist @ WVU, 4pm 12/21 WVU vs North Dakota State @ Knockout Christmas Classic in Kissimmee, FL 12/21 WVU vs Wisconsin @ Knockout Chris...

Event is Saturday Nov 16 Watters will be wrestling Penn states Shane Van ness who was 3rd at 149 in 2023 as a RSfreshman before taking a medical RS last year .. Pretty awesome West Virginia will be represented at the all star classic but Ty is in for a tough battle , if van ness is in 2023 form it c...

Class of 2026 # 1 recruit and World Champ Bo Bassett started his recruitment “open to every team” and has been eliminating 7 schools a week…Now while I never expected him to go to WVU he has officially crossed them off the list as of today unfortunately pretty early in the process Other teams he cro...

Mesenbrink isn’t going 157. So the weight hasn’t cleared out completely. Still have Caliendo, Teemer is moving up, Ramirez, garvin and Taylor. It’ll still be tough for him to AA. I don’t think Hogan can hold 184 or Rune 197 for long. It’d be great if they could tho. Then everything lines up perfect...

A new “pro” wrestling league is starting up , first event is at independence high school is Ashburn, Virginia on June 23th. Jett and Caleb Dowling will be competing . Biggest names competing overall seems to be Daniel Lewis and former ncaa finalist (and German world team and Olympic member) Kizhan C...

I don't want to argue with wrestlestat but Anthony was not on the team this past season with 0 matches https://wvusports.com/documents/2023/11/27/WRES_-_2023-24_Season_Stats.pdf I'll ask a friend from Moundsville who knows him. Stumbled upon Anthonys social media this weekend and you were correct ,...
