Transfer Portal in wrestling
- Thread starter buf87
- Start date
Michigan was 5th this year. Yes it was an underperformance, but that just shows how good they are. ISU can only dream of a performance as good a Michigan’s bad tournament.
Tell me how great Stencil is again. Oh, and do it on another board please.
Michigan is definitely a great program and a good school. I can see the draw.
They've been sitting in the top 10 for the last several years and they keep building and pushing for the top.
That said, I think we're currently on a similar trajectory since Dresser came in.
2010, Michigan finished 38th. They brought in Sean Bormet and Donny Pritzlaff 2011 and it's been nothing but up since then. Pritzlaff left for Rutgers, but their staff is filled with solid Michigan guys who seem pretty dedicated to the program in Bormet, Churella, Russell, and Bolyard (former East Michigan HC)
To me, it seems like ISU could be a perennial top 10 school in the very near future. We've got some great guys in the room now and with guys like Knoppick, Paniro, Schon, Swiderski and Rojas coming in things look pretty dang good to me. The staff will definitely need to keep the recruits flowing though.
Not sure he would ever be cleared by the Iowa State medical staff to compete again. With his concussion history, I'm guessing it is pretty dangerous for him to keep wrestling..
He’s not going back to 33, unlikely to beat Ian, he’s already sat for pretty much two years and the ISU staff won’t clear him to wrestle because of concussions.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't going to be cleared by ISU to wrestle again because of his concussions. Hopefully he is smart about this.
I feel like this isn't talked about enough. B12 vs B10 wrestling is no comparison.
That what happens when one conference requires the sports and the other conference makes it optional. Not much to talk about unless the Big 12 makes wrestling a requirement to be in the conference which isn’t happening anytime soon.
My take on Gomez is quite simple: He's out grown 133. Can't beat Parker (and probably doesn't want to take his spot). Can't afford to lose another year. This all equals transferring. I wish him the best and hope he finishes 2nd next year behind Ian. Best of luck Austin and I'll be rooting for your health & success.

As I stated above I agree with everything except getting cleared. IF one school doesn't clear someone and another does that just seams like a recipe for disaster for the school that turns a blind eye. For those that think he want's to go Big 10 just because the conference is better I think that's silly too. It's not like in a normal year that we won't be wrestling the top Big 10 & Big 12 schools in wrestling. Plus the tourneys like CKLV, Southern Scuffle, Midlands, etc also give every wrestler the chance at top competition..

Illinois, Wisconsin, UNI, Wyoming, Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma have reached out to Austin Gomez since he has entered the transfer portal. Gomez provided that info to one of the Flo guys.
Traub might have the bigger name here, but McNally would fit in really nice also. 174, 2021 R12, 3xNQ. Let him, Broderson and Colbray fight it out for 174/184.
