This looks promising...

This seems good I'll let the wresting people tell us tomorrow.

Good trade for Audi. I approve.

I think this is very good. #3 pound for pound ranking coming out of high school who hasn't proven it yet. High upside without the high price tag. Metcalf, St John and Perry will bring out the best in him.

Thanks, Jacqueline! He's a good addition. Talented kid.

Two questions:

What was he doing last season? He wasn't at Okie State. Where was he?

It is universally mentioned he has 3 years left. As far as I can tell, he's wrestled, redshirted, and was doing whatever it was he was doing last year. That translates to two years left unless he was on a Mormon mission or something. lol

He was injured last year, so I believe the staff is hoping to get him a medical redshirt (depending on what happens with the 5 year proposal the NCAA is reviewing)

Echo this! If I learn differently I shall let ya know but this is what I had went off of.

Eli from The Register said two years. So without official confirmation around last season then yes it would be more formally two seasons!
