2064 official attendance announced by WVU

Who is going to step in for Wolfgram? Looked like his knee was pretty bad against MIZZOU

Robin didn't wrestle at 184, He is the starter and could have been the winning match.

Is Jett sticking to 133 or still trying to cut to 125? Lots of missing starters from this line up.

Anyone know what is wrong with Watters? He's not going to Vegas and didn't wrestle in the last match.

It is always great to see a home grown talent and true mountaineer succeed. It has been a joy to watch Peyton through his career at WVU and representing the mountain state!

This will be televised tonight on ESPN+ at 7pm.

Hillegas moving up to 57 to challenge Dowling.

How will the scholarship limit increase/roster limit affect WVU? WVU can now award up to 30 scholarships a year. The limit was previously 9.9. The roster will now be limited to 30 wrestlers and according to Flo WVU currently has 37 wrestlers on the roster.

Very interesting rules. I think it will be hard to follow at first for anyone who is already a wrestling fan.

I like the rule change and thought it helped speed up college matches. We will see a lot more tech falls.

Titus gets the at large as expected but he is the only Mountaineer to do so. Robins is the 1st alternate which is a crock of you know what. Can't understand how Hopkins or Anderson gets in over Robin's. My only guess is that they wanted to let some in from smaller schools. Robin is higher ranked an...

Jett takes 3rd
Titus medical forfeits to 6th
Watters in the championship tonight
Hall takes 4th
Conley takes 5th and gets the auto bid
Robin takes 7th, at large bid is probably not in the cards
Wolfgram takes 6th and will need an at large bid

Jett, Watters, Hall, and Conley are qualified. Titus and Wolgram need to win 1 more to get autos. Watters going for a championship! Conley's face is demolished

WVU still has 6 in going into Sunday!

I'm wondering if WVU reached out to Gavin to see if he had any interest in transferring. He could be a big help at 133.

Lots of close matches but a little disappointed. Without the injury default the score is worse than it appears.

Solid start to the season.

You sure this isnt a scam? I would think a WVU NIL wrestling club would at least have a picture of a current wrestler not one that last wrestled for WVU 4 years ago.

They are having money trouble on the academic side of the house not athletics. WVU athletics as a whole is in good shape funding wise.

That would be awesome but hope he is able to work it out with the NCAA. They can be terrible to deal with and arbitrary on their decisions.

Hope the wrestlers can find a landing spot this late in the year.

He got hurt in the NCAA Championship so not sure if he is all healed up yet.

I remember Ryan Diel but kind of quit following him when he went to PA. I remember his brother also had some entertaining back and forths with some characters on here. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02ic4sx3PLddv7CdY3So1qSjdMubzE42jgSg92LG8BABj6o2D1v9SuBgGAqhpVNaKTl&id=100020...

I do not know about anyone's scholarship situations or their reasons for transferring out. It is obvious though the guys transferring out of WVU are non-starters and most are guys that used to be a starter and lost their spot. Other observations in looking at everyone else in transfer portal, most ...

Great results!

Looks like a great pick up.

I cant believe Bearhugger hasnt commented about his biggest gripe, medical forfeits. The proposed rule change would make medical forfeits count against a wrestler's record. That is huge and I think would mean a lot less tournaments in the early season. If those forfeits count against the record you ...

They may say they want to help all athletes and I am sure they do, but they are always going to help revenue sports and their own interests first. Oliver Luck was QB for WVU football, Ken Kendrick owns the Arizona Diamondbacks, Huggs is a hall of fame coach and the active coach with the most wins in...
