Off-season 2026; Roster Needs/Portal

[NEICyFan]

Why so late to sign?

Inflated sense of value, most likely.

Why so late to sign?

I'd heard he wasn't even sure if he wanted to wrestle in college. Seems odd from a 4 timer, but heard that from a reliable source.

We need some good news from the portal after this press conference.

Good For them and bad for them. I wanted a couple!

 

[4theheckofit]

I was under the assumption he was almost a lock to come to Ames

Let’s hope that was Ruiz on the plane yesterday

A wrestler heading our way?

[BCClone]

Any team but them. I’d take PSU or stallwater even but not dumb and dumber.

Fernando was the lead guy recruiting him if that helps

I really still don’t get ech leaving, an absolutely bizarre thing to allow to happen when you are just promoting an assistant coach. Now he’s going to iowa. Overall just a weird year, don’t feel great about it.

I'm good with it

I'm good with it

Good with ech leaving?

 

[4theheckofit]

I'm good with it

The insiders here obviously know something the rest of us don't

[CyCity]

The backpedaling there would be something to watch.

 

[ISU_Cyclones]

I guess I don’t want to press the issue but I find it bizarre how people are thinking about this. Ech was almost certainly the most valuable guy on our roster heading into next year. We arguably lost the 2nd or 3rd most valuable guy in Castillo as well. Not a single portal signing, most likely options seem to be staying put at Stanford. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills here (maybe I am).

My $0.02

I like Anthony very much.

It is best for all involved to part ways.
