So now we’re not only thinking (unrealistically) about signing guys like Alirez simply because he hits the portal — we’re extending that to out of work assistant coaches? Yeah, that’s bizarre. Coleman Scott left a terrible recruiting class when he left Carolina. Only Koll Magic has turned lemons in...

Are we 100% sure Beard is coming back?

Does Ok St need a 165 pounder? I would not rule out that this wrestler wants to go somewhere that values the student part of Student athlete.
