I know this is an Ohio State wrestling forum but hell, David Taylor is incredible. I just watched the recent matches. I want Snyder to be our guy but Taylor is on another level, really could be the best in the country regardless of work.

Gary "Gas Tank Gary" Traub has decided to finish out his eligibility wrestling in Corvallis, Oregon for Oregon State. Good luck to him, he seemed like a pretty cool dude.

Kind of an interesting development. Orndorff leaves the west to come to Columbus, Gas Tank goes west. I will most definitely root for him in Corvallis and I actually love that landing spot for him.

Just sayin': Gary's 1st year at Ohio State was the 2016-2017 season and as far was wrestling went he redshirted. He's been at Ohio State 5 years and hopefully he's graduated. Wrestling is only allowed 9.9 scholarships so I guess that frees up whatever partial scholarship Gary was getting for someone else. The 2021-2022 season will be his 6th year in college. Anyway, good luck to him at the west coast OSU school.

Dylan D'Emilio was named to the All Rookie team by the Amateur Wrestling News. I think his outstanding effort in the Nationals' wrestlebacks were a big factor in his getting the accolade. He was also honored by Coach Ryan with the Buckeye's first year wrestler award. Something to build on for season 2.

FOUR-TIME NCAA CHAMPION LOGAN STIEBER JOINS OHIO STATE COACHING STAFF

One of wrestling's all-time greats is joining the Ohio State coaching staff in an official capacity, as head coach Tom Ryan named four-time NCAA and 2016 world freestyle champion Logan Stieber as an assistant coach.

“Although Logan has been involved in our Freestyle program since graduating in 2015, it is great to be able to add him to our staff in an official capacity,” Ryan said. “He is someone who loves the Buckeyes with all of his heart, and I have no doubt he will step in and be a fantastic collegiate coach”

So happy to see Bo get get spot, good for him. He is a great teacher and fundamentalist that will raise our program. Same for Loggie Bear. With this going down, I hope Mic winds up coach at Graham. We need a Jordan back in St Paris running the program.

Never was a wrestler, so I wonder how much of 'what is done' on the mat is learning technique versus instinct. The former one can learn, the latter not so much. Do very much like that tOSU former grapplers come back home to pass on what they know, as well to build their resume. That's a good way for Ryan to
'build a coaching tree' as his assistants branch out to become head coaches in their own right. Gotta be awesome to have a national champion sitting in their kitchen, pitching why they should matriculate at tOSU to continue their wrestling career. Hopefully these guys can learn to close.....go Bucks!

The graduates include All-Americans, NCAA qualifiers, all-conference selections and conference champions. Among the standouts …

  • Wrestler Kaleb Romero is a two-time NCAA qualifier. He is a team captain and a member of the program’s Black Shirts, which signifies a student-athlete is conducting themselves in the right way on and off the mat and he can now wear black inside the Jennings Wrestling Facility. Romero’s teammate Luke Pletcher was a Big Ten individual champion in 2020 and is a three-time Big Ten finalist. He is a two-time All-American and a four-time NCAA qualifier. He had a career record of 108-21 as a Buckeye, which included a 26-1 mark as a senior.

NCAA Championship contender Evan Wick (165#) has entered the portal. Wrestled two years at Wisconsin and finished top ten both years. Possibly heading to Cal Poly where his brother will wrestle next season, but over at BWI (Psu board) they feel confident they're getting him...along with Shane Griffith (Stanford) and Gabe Dean (Cornell). We'll see. They compare Cael Sanderson's recruiting and coaching to Saban's in football. If Coach Ryan wants to get back in the title picture these are the kind of moves he needs to make.

Hope Wick is headed to SLO, do not want to see him or any of Griffith or Dean end up at PSU. Any combination of those wrestlers would be tough at PSU. Agreed though, I was really hoping we could compete for Griffith at least and I think we're slowly starting to fade out of a title contender picture.

Couple names I saw on wrestling websites that would be very interesting .... Coach Borelli from Stanford no longer has a team to coach and man would it be a shot-in-the-Buckeyes arm if he brought his two All Americans (Griffith and Woods) with him! Of course that's a real longshot but closer to reality could be former Buckeye Reece Humphrey who was a great mat wrestler. Still think Logan would be the favorite though.

Just sayin': Stanford just did a 180 on eliminating 11 varsity sports.

With 'new optimism based on new circumstances,' Stanford reverses controversial decision to eliminate 11 varsity sports

Stanford has reversed a decision it made last summer and will not eliminate 11 varsity sports, the school announced Tuesday.

The decision comes after months of pressure from high-profile alumni, students and coaches, as well as a fundraising effort -- spearheaded by a group called 36 Sports Strong -- aimed at helping the sports become financially self-sustaining.

"We have new optimism based on new circumstances, including vigorous and broad-based philanthropic interest in Stanford Athletics on the part of our alumni, which have convinced us that raising the increased funds necessary to support all 36 of our varsity teams is an approach that can succeed," Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne said in a statement.

Roughly 240 athletes who participate in men's and women's fencing, field hockey, lightweight rowing, men's rowing, co-ed and women's sailing, squash, synchronized swimming, men's volleyball and wrestling were set to be impacted by decision.

Leadership from 36 Sports Strong applauded university leadership for working with the group to "find a better way forward" for the athletic department.

"We are grateful for their engagement, and we are looking forward to getting to work with them," the group said in a statement. "Champions persevere, and they find new ways to win. That's what Stanford has done here. Facing challenges, Stanford and its alumni have come together to build a solution that will cement its status as the best Athletics Department in the country."
