Interesting development. It’s been a minute; heard first hand that Fish would be the only RS among the transfers. Perhaps he’s now beating Travis consistently? This seems to be one of 4 scenarios that we are waiting to see how they play out.

Solid analysis. Gilman is going to have had a tremendous impact here. Of the athletes who have the highest chance of jumping levels, Spratley is at the top of the list. Previously he tended to be undisciplined at times (on the Mat) and inconsistent. He has the requisite level competitiveness...

I talked to Surber a few days ago. He's excited, kept a lot of things close to the vest. Said we are really going to enjoy the fan experience. No real breaking news - expecting to see a line-up close to this for the opener: 125: Spratley 133: Witcraft 141: Jamison or Hughes 149: Jamison or...

Think you hit the nail on the head. Jasper & family are entrenched in Stillwater. Would be a significant last minute change if it happened…don’t see it going that way.

Respectfully disagree. Here’s why: Biggest reason, it doesn’t seem necessary. OSU doesn’t need to horde talent. As you’ve been pointing out, the talent is solid, and there is more coming. There doesn’t seem to be a need for a scarcity mindset in terms of talent at OSU. DT & Gilman are pied...

You’ve got McComas over Hughes?

My Guess: 1. Ehrhard 2. Meola 3. Benge 4. Schubart 5. Wulfert 6. Brueggeman 7. Sylvester vs. LHP/Ritchie vs. RHP 8. Daugherty 9. Forsythe

125: Revenge Match, Spratley is rolling, D Spratley (3-0) 133: The worst possible time to face Fix, MD (7-0) 141: D Jamison (10-0) 149: Breakout Match for JW (13-0) 157: Mr. Reliable (16-0) 165: Olejnik is due, MD at worse (20-0) 174: Things start to get interesting, Devos is an animal...

It sounded like Josh said Benge will be the 3 hole

Looking at current Intermat Rankings, here is a look at each Cowboy's opponent both in the Big 12 & Non-Conference Match-Ups. Candidates for the toughest overall road ahead: Teague Travis, Konner Doucet, & Luke Surber (Olejnik & Plott are givens due to their unique Big 12 Challenges). In my...

Statement Win for the Cowboys. This answers a LOT of questions. Only 1 match to be concerned about; yet against a determined Top 3 wrestler. OSU’s guy is learning what it takes. Jamison was CLEARLY favoring his injured right arm…and could have/should have won. He was the aggressor. Teague...

NO. 9 OKLAHOMA STATE VS. WYOMING 125: No. 21 Troy Spratley (10-2) vs. No. 16 Jore Volk (10-3) *Match of the Night, Measuring Stick of the Night. This Weight Class is wide open in the Big 12 waiting for someone to jump up and claim. This Weight is one that will determine the level of OSU’s...

Here are my quick takeaways from last night… Overall, great feeling about this Team despite the final two matches. 125: Still more exciting than it has been, still having trouble getting a true feel for upside potential. Most important thing is the energy and desire to be there. 133: You gotta...

Completely agree with the Good… We know now Fix is hurt, and it sounds like it will be a while. Agree on Spratley. He’s not as far along as we would hope but should be fine long term. 149 and 174 are both highly concerning right now. Like your idea of bumping JW up. Plus, might give Alvarez a...

149 is a weak weight in the B12. Huge opening for Williams. These are good problems to have, multiple guys at multiple weights. Robb, Heeg, & others had strong showings as well.
