For those on here (not all) kissing Koll’s ***?
Are you still going to feel that way if he nabs TJ Stewart? (Only a rumor)

Vincenzo joseph is the big draw for TJ
Can't disagree with his decision. Wish TJ the best. We definitely need an upgrade from our current upper weight coach.

Cenzo lost to Mekhi
Great win for Mekhi. We celebrate every Tuesday. Vincenco is nasty though.

We will get our wrestlers and they will get theirs.
Wouldn't both me 1 bit if TJ goes there.

College is purely transactional at this point.
No reason to be hurt by coaches or athletes moving around. If someone’s sensitive to that stuff they’ll be shedding a lot of tears over college sports.

TJ
Can go wherever he wishes. I told you guys a couple of weeks ago he was gone.

Just wish he would go out of conference.

Congrats. You’ve earned the honesty badge.

Wouldn’t impact my opinion of Koll, but I would
hate seeing TJ in that shade of blue.

I don't like him
But if I did, this wouldn't change my opinion. It would suck to see him go to an ACC school as a VT fan, but unless there was behind the scenes tampering, I don't see how that would reflect poorly on Koll.

Brother, there is ALWAYS tampering of some sort with portal guys..
I have zero proof of this , but feel like Pop and Robbie have a mutual respect of each other where they would never go after each others kids. ** Edited by WolfpackPins at 4/4/2025, 7:42:50 PM

Sure there is
I'm not worried about it here. He's leaving VT to leave VT, not because Koll convinced him to. Once you're in the portal, you're fair game. And while things change, I'm pretty sure TJ's dad has mentioned not wanting to be on a team with a Ferrari kid.

He sure did.

Wonder why he posts with a 3rd person pronoun?

It wasn’t intended as a gotcha moment.

Aj Ferrari at UNC per Wrestlestat...maybe just their algo grabbing rumours?

They still have sources at WrestleStat even though it's mostly data driven

Maybe
I’m not a social media type of guy at all other than this board.

Things do change
He also stated a couple of weeks ago that TJ leaving was a rumor. Wherever TJ lands, I hope he has a successful two years.

I know Ferrari is presenting this image of a “changed man”.
Maybe he is. But he and his family have been pretty consistent over the years with their behavior. So while I hope he’s a better man I’m looking for some more evidence of the change. They’ve burned a lot of bridges from NJ to Texas and other places along the way. But I do hope they find some redemption.

I don't think he has changed at all...just a little more careful not to
completely go off the rails. He made a spectacle of his commitment to UNC by faking he was going to PSU as a heavy, and then saying he was going to Iowa to be with his brother, before finally announcing he was going to UNC. EVERYTHING with that guy is about bringing as much attention to himself as possible (no matter how he gets it) and he has successfully alienated most of the wrestling public (myself included). He does not represent the character of the wrestling community as a whole (unless you count WWE). He may be a very good wrestler, but he will ultimately fail in his endevors as the kind of negative karma he creates will ultimately come back to bite him in the ass. The only roar louder at nationals than when he lost to Buchannon was when Gable was upset. The reaction for Wyatt was a positive one while the reaction for AJ loosing was more about him loosing, than SB winning. That should tell you how much he is disliked... ** Edited by VPIGUY at 4/7/2025, 3:31:23 PM

To play devil’s advocate, Ferrari would be a formidable training partner.
AJ (ask any OkSU former teammate, Orange or Cody Chittum) is not a great locker room guy, but the ability to train with a 197 teammate like Ferrari would be very tempting especially if you felt your previous room was lacking. ** Edited by VTDante at 4/4/2025, 8:30:04 PM

I think training with him would absolutely suck and be miserable.
part of being a good training partner is having to work with a guy day in and day out. Dealing with his hyper-alpha ego, attitude, and antics wouldn't be any fun at all. Running his mouth all the time, screaming like he's rick flair all the time, taunting, etc. Nope. I think he'd be a lousy training partner

Fair enough.
Always liked the banter here. Enjoy the weekend.
