Willie says big transfer news coming soon...

[edquinn06]

stay tuned

 

[crapman]

Any thoughts?

 

[andegre]

I'm assuming this would be McKenna, and not necessarily for the Hawks (hope I'm wrong on that last part).

 

[edquinn06]

they said yesterday on FRL McKenna would be a few more weeks... I was thinking Lugo or White.

 

[goiahawkeyes]

Manning also tweeted

"Another Big piece of Husker wrestling news coming!"

related???

 

[IAChief32]

White to Nebby

 

[edquinn06]

White to Nebby

thats why willie is excited

 

[Pennstate1985]

White to Nebby

That's my guess.

 

[IAChief32]

thats why willie is excited

Yup.

 

[IAChief32]

That's my guess.

Heard it today

 

[JohnBasedow]

It will be interesting to see how he develops with Green and Burroughs. I imagine he is going to be a beast. Does he go 157 or 165? Him or Berger have to move up I believe.

 

[edquinn06]

I could really use some IOWA HAWKEYE recruiting or incoming transfer news.

[Pennstate1985]

Wow, 25 minutes from start to finish on a transfer thread. Must be a record.

 

[lookleft goright]

Just as long as IAChief isn't transferring to the BWI board full time, all will be well.

 

[NRJ]

Damn. He's going to be a good one for them. We really need McKenna now.

 

[Pennstate1985]

To take Chief, we'd want a $126,350 dowery as fair compensation. Look at all the benefits he'd get. And all the f*** he'd have.

Heard one of Nebraska top recruits coming in might back out. He's staying instate form what I heard. This is form my dad though my uncle from the recruiters mom so you know it's got to be true

And now that it is on the internet, it definitely has to be true.

 

[Mattski]

White didn't have the academics for fosu but he does Nebby? Go figure.

White wrestled 165 this past season.

 

[NYWRESTLER94]

Super bummed about this

 

[Sandor45]

If not us, I was hoping tOsu would pick him back up. They would have been left contenders than

 

[AFHawk86]

I had the same thought. Good for White if he found a way to get over the academic hump.

 

[AngryOtter42]

And this...

 

[DonHawkeye]

This is good news. If they are using him to fill a hole it is still a hole.

 

[edquinn06]

This is good news. If they are using him to fill a hole it is still a hole.

If a three time NCAA qualifier is a whole then what does that say about our situation at 33 next year?

 

[lionlover]

We all know athletes get an admission break. But, some schools have higher minimum academic thresholds than others

Acceptance rate of OSU= 49%
Acceptance rate of Nebraska=70%
Acceptance rate of Iowa= 81%

Let's reset. Once Cortez went down last season, PSU was something like 1-22 at 133. Avoiding a fall was something of a victory. So Keener, a 3-time NCAA qualifier, is a big improvement.

As for NCAA tourney points, Keener probably projects for only a few, based on past history. Anything beyond that would be gravy.

I think his point is that if he gets hurt, it's still a hole.

 

[DonHawkeye]

my point is that he is probably not going to score meaningful points at nationals.

 

[SPOONER]

Any weight that has little or no chance to AA is a hole. This has always been true. Keener is a solid pickup for PSU.

Agreed. PSU has a better chance of an AA now at 33 next year then Iowa does IMO.

FYI - here's his profile while wrestling for Notre Dame.

(note: non-division I wrestlers will only have match results for opponents that are division I.)

Anyone going to Nebraska should have to watch a film of Manning's bs before they enroll.

 

[perryerabegins]

Nope.

 

[NYWRESTLER94]

The coaches were no longer pursuing him

 

[hawkssox1]

Nope.

Enlightening.

Somebody better make that video...they are getting another one.
