Is this supposed clearing house going to have to approve all deals? Or just ones that are from collectives that are outside of the school paying the athletes?
2025-2025 Transfer Portal Needs, Wants, Updates
- Thread starter NEIACyclone
- Start date
Deals affiliated with a booster, booster group or any entity deemed to be associated with the school are the only ones subject to the clearinghouse’s more rigorous fair market value standard.
So far the top teams who have made big moves:
Penn St - Welsh - don’t know that he moves the needle for them but that’s only because they have other hammers at 74/84. Welsh would have been a massive addition for about any other team.
Okie St - Swiderski, Facundo, Steen - Facundo/Swiderski should be BR/low AA caliber at minimum. Good pick ups for them.
Iowa - Bailey, Williams - big pick ups for them at weights of need. Also rumored to be in the running for Dean Peterson who has had big victories in the past.
Minnesota - Volk - adding an AA at a weight of need is big for them. They’ll have a tough lineup.
Ohio State - not completely confirmed but Chittum will be there. Only is a big pick up for them if Cannon goes 65 or Chittum uses RS.
Nebraska - said to be in the running for both Lachlan McNeil and Dean Peterson. Both would fill needs for them as they will have a very good lineup again.
Michigan - Ghadiali - I expect Michigan to land another transfer or two (McNeil?) and they will be an improved team in 2026 with Ghadiali coming in and a few guys returning (Ragusin from injury, mantanona coming in).
We are behind the 8 ball a bit here as a lot of the big pick ups are gone, obviously a lot can change and the elephant is AJ.

This sounds like a step in the right direction of having legitimate NIL contracts
I'd like to get the Larkins....if we don't land them and/or AJ it would take the wind out of the portal enthusiasm for me.
Dean would be a decent pick up but we have not had great luck with 5th/6th year guys staying healthy. He did improve a lot from last season.
Cotton could improve a bunch as he’s young but that would be a let down of a portal haul.
That’s embarrassing
ISU is on the pathway to irrelevance. This is why it needs Ferrari.
Not sure what’s worse. Being irrelevant or Ferrari being the saving grace.
Not long ago we would all have been happy just to send 9 wrestlers to NCAA's.. never mind half the team being injured throughout the year including 3 AA's.. and Carroll walking away.. Let's take a breath maybe lol
Ya...this ain't it. Just an unfortunate year with injuries. The chamber is still loaded
