There have been whispers of a falling out between his step-dad and smith. I remember when some were talking of a big possible transfer last spring, his name was one that came up.
Eierman in the Transfer Portal
- Thread starter JohnBasedow
- Start date
There is a massive difference between someone like Eierman transferring compared to a Kerkvliet, who has let to wrestle a colligate match. Eierman has already spent 4 years at Mizzou and has one more opportunity to win a team title and probably more importantly to him, an individual national title.
We quickly forget that these are kids/ young adults that are competing for a SCHOOL. There are rules and guidelines he has to follow to even make the transfer successful, though I have no doubt he'll fine. But many of you doubters seem to think it's just a walk in the park for a kid to pack up and transfer to a different location, like a free agent hitting the open market. This couldn't be further from the truth.
Remember, at this point they aren't wrestling for money, they're wrestling for their future. A one-time transfer isn't an unfair thing, especially at this level. I sincerely hope he considers Iowa, but if he doesn't, then best of luck to him and I hope he finds what he's looking for. Unless he's competing against Iowa... then I hope he finds it later.

The easy transfer portal is so new yet that no one can be sure, one way or the other, what the true impact(s) will be on the sport. All of us can only speculate at this time.
In a given season, yes, it usually is down to a small number of teams with the potential to win that year. Over time though, the number of potential players is a little larger, but still small.
If we relax the rules to such a point though that every "hole" can, PRESTO, be filled with a high quality transfer...that small number may be reduced even further...perhaps down to one.
Hypothetical question, for those that favor the relaxed transfer rules?
If it is all about the athlete, why not let them transfer in mid-season if they want to?
The transfer portal is great. It helps the kids. There's little downside.
This has been the case forever, the transfer portal isn't changing the landscape of college wrestling. Only 12 teams have won titles in 90 years. Of those 12, 5 teams (Okla. St, Iowa, IA State, PSU, and Oklahoma) have won 81 of 90 titles. This argument is lazy.
Ohio State has Pletcher at 141 for next season. I don't think they make sense.
I'm not sure if we're a fit personality wise, since it seems like Mike Eierman is not a fan, but maybe Jaydin himself is?
I think Okie State is a great fit.
Exactly. Little of nothing changed for wresting. You have always been able able to transfer once (in wrestling and some other Olympic sports) without sitting. The only thing that changed is coaches can no longer deny your transfer or block specific schools. In wrestling, I personally know of only one instance where a transfer was blocked resulting in loss of eligibility and that was VTech and we all know that story. The portal simply lets all coaches know of the intent to transfer and they can then begin contacting. Nothing new here except every coach in the the nation knows within 48 hours of the potential intent to transfer.
Fair, but don't ignore the opposite happening a lot too. I.e. Suriano to Rutgers. Former low AA loses his spot at PSU, Iowa, Ohio State etc. and transfers to fill a hole at Minnesota, ISU, etc.
We don't have enough info to say if this will be good or bad for the sport, all we know is that it will be good for the wrestlers.
He is. I would guess the plan is for Kinner to slide back up to 141 and Decatur moves into 133, but Kinner losing 1 year seems like a fair price to pay for a guy like Eierman. You could also have Sasso slide up to 157 and Eierman go 149 and nobody loses a year.
Bader had an interview with him. JE said his mind is already made up on where he wants to go. Said that he wanted to go to this school all of his life, was recruited a little bit by them, but committed to Mizzou right out of the gate so the school no longer recruited him.

I like different teams having champs and placers. Heck, I loved it that VT got champ last year. I do not want OSU, tOSU, Iowa, and PSU to be the only team with champs etc and having them be almost guaranteed the 1,2,3, and 4 spots at the NCAA tournament. This really seems like it will take away a big part of the charm of the NCAA tourney to me. When guys like Meredith from Wyoming were fighting for a title, it was fun to watch and pull for the kid. Kyle Conel is another example. I would have pulled for h I'm a lot more if he were still at Kent State than at PSU. Now they can just say, ah heck, I am going to transfer somewhere else and leave the team hanging.
I do not know what is best for the kid, but for me, I like loyalty and watching the kids from smaller schools do well.
Yeah, but it is nice to see a NC State get a trophy and a UM get one. It would be nice to see a UNC get one. It was great to see Cornell get one. It is starting to look like it will be 1 of 4 teams fighting for a trophy every year. Kind of boring to me.
Maybe this is overly optimistic, but I really feel like he's going to end up here.
Except after the first year the NLI is no longer in effect. There are no more guarantees of scholarships and said scholarships can be pulled away at any time for any reason.
They are young adults, but when it comes to wrestling I'm pretty sure they know what's best for them.
We can't judge Eierman while we sit back and ride the accolades of Desanto, Lugo and eventually Teasdale. We can't have it both ways.
Yeesh. My bad. Most guys I feel like have been wrestling forever. Pletcher the rare guy whose career has gone by very quickly.
Well, that rules out PSU and tOSU
HawkeyeMass from the top rope!
I would love that personality in Carver, but all the smoke about how much his dad dislikes Iowa....man, this would be great.
So would you take Eierman for 1 year or Echemendia for 4. I know, the correct answer is both but if you could take one?
Personally I would take Eierman. Just speculating but Echemendia seems like a risk to me. I could see him just going the freestyle route at some point. Again, that is just uneducated speculation.
My guess is Nebraska. Family ties. Good club team. They recruited him out of high school.
I don’t see Iowa but he does follow us on Twitter. Flo did an interview and he mentioned this school recruited him out of HS... PSU, NEB and MIZ were main suitors.

AA Degen at 49 and Ian Parker at 41 who is a solid qualifier/AA contender. He has some really nice wins (Demas, Brock, Desanto, Murin).
141 is no issue unless Gomez can't make 133 next year, 149 is AA Degen who is a Jr. He is tall enough to go 157 but Carr would have to go 165 for that to work. I thought Carr Sr. was running the club.
But they don't really have the dominate RTC that he's craving, right?
If I were a betting man, which I'm not, but if I was, I'd say Nebraska.
With Green at 70kg and Burroughs at 74kg...you can't get better than the two best middle weights in the country in the same room. Unfortunately it makes sense.
I think maybe you were a bit
that’s ok we are all here in good fun. I’m not sure where he will end up but he is going to be a great addition and if JDen is part of that equation lookout. I think JDen is staying at the OTC with Jackson at least till after the Olympics

Nebby makes sense at ISU he has a couple of Hawkeyes to roll with and if I remember correctly they both were umm not Bad.
Would that be like a friendly wager or would you be all in just curious...
Degen’s advantaged has alway being a lanky light weight and using length and his leg ride. Going up would put his leg defense at risk and negate his advantage. He needs to stay 49. My kid was 6’ 2” wrestling at 120 as a sophomore last year. We watch a lot of Degen.

If they go to PSU, I hate the transfer portal and imagine that Carl is playing dirty.
If they go anywhere else, I'm all for it.
