Who is even getting paid these days with Chittum and Casey gone? Our 2 best guys can't even get NIL deals since they are foreign athletes. Aside from Frost boys, nobody else has really earned much of anything.

Foreign athletes can earn NIL now. That rule changed

Bastida and Ech get NIL deals

I wasn’t in favor of adding AJ but at least that would have garnered some program excitement momentarily (and been a huge topic of discussion, even if some negative).

And, he would be a massive addition at a need weight.

We’ve got quite the hole at 197 (and 184 really with Bartelt recovering). Seems like by far the two highest need weights.

Well at Mineos tweets it looks like AJ coming to Ames is a no go…….. I hope I’m wrong. Damn

I thought the rule was they could only receive NIL deals through organizations and companies in their own country? Not US deals?

Nope, they’re free to earn NIL deals from US companies.

My understanding is it depends on the type of visa the student is on . F1 visa students can't earn NIL is the way I believe it is

That was my understanding, I know there was a bill introduced to change this but don't know if it ever came to a vote

It’s unc I’m pretty sure

I’m pretty disappointed. Would’ve been a national championship contender at 97 and hwt.

Going to be a huge kick in the nuts when he goes heavyweight and beats Yonger.

 

[BCClone]

If Angelo goes, does that affect Dr Dan Gabrielsons nephews? He might be too busy recruiting for Clarion HS to realize what is going on with them.

I think he ends up going hwt, but Yonger has too much power speed and technique to be shut out offensively. Yonger is a different beast than the 197 guys.

 

[jkbuff98]

Yonger is not the same wrestler AJ beat in the past

 

[crablegs]

Yonger is not the same wrestler AJ beat in the past

Of course not. Now he’s at AJ’s level. This will be a real match. Not saying it will happen, but Anyone who thinks AJ can’t beat Yonger is out of their mind.

 

[jkbuff98]

Of course not. Now he’s at AJ’s level. This will be a real match. Not saying it will happen, but Anyone who thinks AJ can’t beat Yonger is out of their mind.

Obviously can happen , but I’m betting on Yonger if he is healthy .

 

[ISU22CY]

Of course not. Now he’s at AJ’s level. This will be a real match. Not saying it will happen, but Anyone who thinks AJ can’t beat Yonger is out of their mind.

Actually you did say it was going to happen. Those were your exact words.

 

[GMackey32]

There's definitely no love lost between Yonger and AJ. I'd bet on Yonger if they face off at HWT next year.

“Excitement”? You have an interesting definition of that term. The survey done here sure showed the opposite of that.

If Angelo goes, does that affect Dr Dan Gabrielsons nephews? He might be too busy recruiting for Clarion HS to realize what is going on with them.

What in the heck are you talking about?

Of course not. Now he’s at AJ’s level. This will be a real match. Not saying it will happen, but Anyone who thinks AJ can’t beat Yonger is out of their mind.

The difference between the two is that neither have been an AA at HWT.

It’s wild to me that Yonger hasn’t been on the podium for 3 years. Time flies.
