On the surface it makes sense for Ok State but still smells stinky

Forrest has only been in Oklahoma for about a month. If he’s that homesick already, he’s in for a long college career. In reality, it’s sorta brilliant by Taylor. By now Forrest and Figs have scrapped enough, so after AS smokes Figs, they’ll use the match for scouting purposes for the NCAA’s if they wrestle. Depending on the seeding Forrest might be a quarter match for a highly ranked guy.

Sounds like there is a reasonable chance Forrest misses the dual on Sunday.

Just saw that Willie posted on twitter OSU listed Jax or Ronnie as probable

The Messiah Open is a one-day tournament in PA on Saturday.
VTDante • 02/11/26 08:02 AM ET
Isn't there a one day limit of matches OR
wasris • 02/11/26 08:10 AM ET
The NCAA limit is 6 matches in a day.
Hokiemacho • 02/11/26 10:49 AM ET
Let me add 6 matches in a day is.....
Hokie Flyer • 02/11/26 01:09 PM ET
Jax isn't going the full 7 with many people at the Messiah Open**
donjfs3 • 02/11/26 03:35 PM ET
The dual is on Sunday so he could theoretically do both **
donjfs3 • 02/11/26 08:52 AM ET
I think he will wrestle at Messiah Open which is near his parents' house.
VTDante • 02/10/26 05:22 PM ET
Still no team registered for Jax at Messiah (No OSU or Cowboy RTC).**
TartanHokie • 02/11/26 07:34 PM ET
My first job was in the dining hall at Messiah!**
Pylons • 02/11/26 10:15 AM ET
sounds like he's home sick already. He should just transfer to Blacksburg,
goodbadugly • 02/10/26 06:45 PM ET
Idk
Hikinghokie • 02/10/26 07:01 PM ET
This post just gave me a thought...
donjfs3 • 02/10/26 07:10 PM ET
That has crossed my mind a few times
Hikinghokie • 02/10/26 07:24 PM ET
Sounds like a duck to me…
emhokie • 02/10/26 02:40 PM ET
The open he's going to is driving distance to his hometown

On the surface it makes sense for Ok State but still smells stinky ◄
emhokie • 02/10/26 05:48 PM ET
He’s been in Oklahoma a lot more than just the last month.**
TartanHokie • 02/10/26 07:58 PM ET
Seems odd since he was in high school up until December some time **
emhokie • 02/10/26 08:04 PM ET
His family had an apartment or something in Stillwater for when he was
TartanHokie • 02/10/26 08:39 PM ET
McCort is very accommodating with online classes for athletes if needed**
donjfs3 • 02/10/26 08:33 PM ET
Forrest could be a huge landmine in the bracket. Not sure how much help
donjfs3 • 02/10/26 06:26 PM ET
You are correct - Forrest will absolutely be a land mine
133966Hokie • 02/11/26 08:12 AM ET
Not only would it not be a surprise, he should be a favorite
Hikinghokie • 02/11/26 11:30 AM ET
The funny thing is, there’s a possibility he doesn’t get the 15 matches
emhokie • 02/10/26 08:12 PM ET
He will still be seeded very high. Meyer was 11-1 last year and got the 2.**
TartanHokie • 02/11/26 08:47 AM ET
He should be top 6 if he gets the win over Larkin
donjfs3 • 02/11/26 09:30 AM ET
Agreed. Which makes the push to get the rpi ranking unbelievable**
emhokie • 02/11/26 09:15 AM ET
Yeah a 17 match ceiling isn't ideal in his scenario
donjfs3 • 02/10/26 08:35 PM ET
Dude is elite. He just needs to wrestle the schedule and add an open if
emhokie • 02/10/26 09:00 PM ET
I do not think he is ducking anybody.**
dallasvt • 02/10/26 03:23 PM ET
Just curious, what would you call it??**
emhokie • 02/10/26 05:16 PM ET
Personally I think he doing what Taylor wants
texashokie1 • 02/10/26 09:08 PM ET
Agree it’s the coaches’ call. Didn’t mean him personally making the
emhokie • 02/10/26 10:15 PM ET
But he has a huge history of ducking tough competition...
NYC2000 • 02/10/26 03:46 PM ET
Ha! Great post - you get it! There is absolutely a 0% chance that Forrest
133966Hokie • 02/11/26 08:19 AM ET
And avoiding AS in what would be the match of the day in Blacksburg
emhokie • 02/10/26 05:18 PM ET
Good one. How does Seidel prepare to wrestle the bests at 133?
Hokiesplatz • 02/12/26 06:06 PM ET
Great question
