This is why you have to patient as top guys will continue to enter portal and even if we don’t get them there may be a downstream effect where we can still get a better option.
Maybe, I’d say it’s almost certain he’s going to Ok state. Mirasola twins will be next to leave as neither of them will be starting next year

WVU called out Iowa for tampering with its wrestlers. Not sure WVU has legal recourse.

If Ryder is Ok State bound, will be interesting to see who ends up being more successful between him and Rocco

They don’t. The NCAA has already made it clear boosters can poach. It’s why Ryder is in the portal. Iowa is doing it, Okie State is doing it, PSU has been doing it for many years, ISU is doing it, etc.

WV either has sour grapes or is behind the times. Quite frankly, their athletic department seems clueless given how their basketball coaching situation has been going.

Wrestlers, unlike a left tackle in football, could have actual, very real NIL Value. Most football players are pay-to-play, which is supposedly coming to an end with the House settlement, but legitimate NIL deals can't be stopped because courts have held that they have a right to that money.

If Boomer Esiason can make money modeling underwear, I'm sure some of the big-time wrestlers, aside from the heavyweights, could as well. I guess heavyweights could model big and tall men's clothing.

This reminds me of Paul Donahue.
