Aaron Nagao in the Portal

165? Lol. Between your confusion about assistant coaches and this post, it isn’t your day. Maybe take the rest of the weekend off.
Kerkvliet's history is like a soap opera.
While in high school he committed to Minny. After that and before graduating high school, he changed, or daddy did, his mind and committed to Okie State. Subsequently, and I believe it could have been the summer after he graduated high school...he changed allegiance to tOSU.
Then there were some changes in the wrestling room at Columbus and he ended up at PSU.
I believe his old man is a wackadoodle or at least a constant voice in his ear.
Lol! Take advice from you? Sorry keyboard warrior but I’ll pass. PK would be the last out of the 5 weights I listed to worry about, but no AA this year and its 50/50 if he will make the stand next year.
That is definitely true, but it isn’t that hard of a sell for businesses to give to non-profits like RTCs given the tax benefits.. Give them a little inside access to the program, they give money to you instead of the IRS, everybody wins. I get it’s extra work for coaches, but if there are businesses in your college town it isn’t that hard of a sell. They should still be better off than most schools in the NIL space, even if it’s a pro sports town
Regarding Nagao...if this is 100% NIL, from Minny's standpoint, they need to hit up someone like Brock Lesnar to get some $$$ momentum.
I can't envision much corporate help coming from business interests in the TCs.
There isn't much talent left to poach from the Gophers roster, but they do have a relatively highly rated 125 in the pipeline.

Rumor has it he wants to transfer some place that enhances his chances of winning individual championships. That would be Penn State, certainly not Iowa. Just saying.
That's a little ridiculous. The biggest reason that Kennedy didn't AA this year is because of how insanely tough 165 was. The list of non-AAs includes Ramirez, Kharchla, Facundo, Olguin, etc. The best 165 in the portal is Olejnik, who was 8th. He is not an upgrade over Kennedy.
I doubt very many of these things come down to just who is offering the most NIL. These guys want NIL $ obviously, but as long as they are getting enough to not be scraping pennies together, I think most are looking for the best opportunity in both wrestling and education.
You might reconsider.
Yes, because it’s a mixmaster of a weight where about 3-4 guys who are highly likely to make the stand next year, perhaps one ends up in the portal, and he may not even end up at 165. Putting the 6th seed freshman on the list is silly.
Who exactly do you "magic" into the lineup that is not only clearly better, but more proven and likely to AA in a field that deep? It's not like PK didn't AA because he choked or isn't very good. He lost to Amine(3x AA 7t,4th,4th) and Ramirez(2x R12).
Now, do I want and even expect him to be beating a guy like Ramirez? Sure. But, his being a 2x R12er in his first 2 tries shows you the talent level that doesn't even AA at that weight. I mean, you have a guy like Griffith who was a 2x Finalist his 1st 2 seasons take 5th. Alex Facundo went 0-2. Hell, Hamiti took 6th both times so far and he runs through the regular season WRECKING everybody.
You can want results, but at the same time, they need to be grounded in REALISM...
At risk of sounding overly cynical, I suspect quality of education is pretty low on most transfers’ lists.
Fair point. Terry hasn't coached any individual lightweight champions.
He also coached that Cejudo guy to a Gold Medal.
If I remember the story, he was going to be the 197 at Minny with GS at Hwt.
Then he outgrew 197...
Rumor has it.....
UH wait a minute.....
What was that????
You don't say!
Correction, NOT a rumor anymore! It has been confirmed that YOU are a NITWIT!!!
Be very careful as a STORM is brewing!!!!
Not only does his post not hint that he makes a secret, he’s also never known anything.
This is the guy at the top of my wish list. He can ride like a banshee, and he’s a good scramblerz I think he and woods would make great workout partners. Whatever it takes Iowa. This covers a big hole.
Looks like he took a grey shirt and red shirt, so not as young as I thought. How high was he ranked coming out of high school??
The way he rode RBY at NCAAs was impressive. Woods and Spencer could teach him some tilts and he could be a monster on top. Needs to improve his neutral game though. Drake at 125, Aaron at 133, and Real at 141. Sign me up for that. Add Cody at 149/157. Yes sir.
They way he rides, Eierman would be the better training partner
Not sure that’s a thing when the other team pulls in top 10 pfp recruits consistently
True, when you do a great with high school recruiting there is no need for the portal, so it’s nothing to brag about beating PSU in this area.
Cool interview, both men did a great job! Aaron seems like a really great kid who has a very strong faith in God. I can not help but think that that might help IOWA, but maybe I am just reaching with my HAWK shades on here?
Out of the 3 schools, Cornell might seem to be the least likely with Vito having another year? He may very well take an Olympic year, but still would be back. Not sure either would move up, but again what do I know?
The Interview guy being a F*** st fan and giving that program a little "shout out" if you will. Kinda made me wanna choke him just a little! He was like "you could train with RBY.... blah blah blah....."
Get out of town with that crap!!!
TRY Spencer Lee, Real Woods, Terri, DeSanto etc.....

RBY is going MMA sooner rather then later so I don’t think he would get to train with him as much as people would think
Are we really going to do this again? You ran away from the last thread when called out. Just stop.
No. I have seen you on other boards. You aren't normal. Who are your contacts? Mine are pretty tight.
Think he has in reversed. Better light weight track record at Iowa, but better chance of team title next year at PSU. Unless we get our dream transfers for next year that is.
Interesting Top 3. Cornell - returning national champ. Iowa - two guys at 133 who are not a slam dunk pushover for the starting spot. PSU - wide open path to starting position. Seems like a pretty easy choice unless I’m missing something.
How about blue chip recruit Robbie Howard who red shirted last year for you guys??
Who is “you guys”? I want him to choose Iowa. Just thinking from his point of view. Howard is an option at 133 but hasn’t been healthy for a couple years.
The cool thing about recruiting is we eventually find out where a kid decides to go. I really don't worry much until then.
