We're hosting somebody today per TLP
My guess would be Desiante, maybe he can bump to 184?

Any updates or intel on the recent visitor?

Desiante coming in this weekend
Another potential target just jumped in portal at 84, hopefully Jaden wants to come back home!

New name in the portal means somebody took his spot most likely
TJ or Fishback to UM?

Fishback to UM
H
HokieMole
He is 1-0 against Fishback
According to wrestlestat… and TJ isn’t going to UM

Would be a nice grad transfer to give a redshirt year to one of the young
guns coming in... ** Edited by AirborneHokie96 at 5/2/2025, 7:55:34 AM

Middle weight
The article said it's a middle weight visitor before cutting off. The market is limited so I think the UTC kid is an educated guess.

Yeah no inside info, educated guess but conference champ middleweight
limits the pool and his name has been mentioned here & on intermat with VT speculation

No idea. I am not even sure what is still rumor or confirmed at this point
Catka to Rutgers is only move confirmed so far? TJ still in portal? Fishback still in portal? I think I saw a few other names coming and going bandied about, but have not been tracking confirmed moves.

Both 184's are still in.
Sergio Desiante from UTC entered at 174. He's former teammates with Crook, the only recent entry that's worth monitoring from the VT side. Not transfer related but some have mentioned Adam Waters was maybe reopening his recruitment

Not sure if getting TJ back is still possible or not.

Not sure if this analogy will fly with the faithful here but
Everyone preaches how VT Wrestling(and most other teams) are a "Family." Ok, fair enough. Not sure how many times(if any at all) I would allow my wife to "shop the market" before I kicked that @$$ to the curb.

I think it's a tired conversation tbh
Everyone with an opinion has made it known at this point. If he does come back, I would hope and think nobody would be vindictive enough to root against him. If he doesn't, it doesn't really matter.

Agreed,
Perhaps your post would be better suited for the guy who started the "tj" post because I sure as **** didn't.
H
Hikinghokie
That's fair
I guess I showed my own bias with who I responded to, but the point goes all around. I get that it's a message board and people can talk about what they want, but this **** has been going in circles every time the name comes up. With no new actual information.

I am tired of the "tired conversation" folks

I see you, but at this point I'd take a good mail order bride at 184

Nothing wrong with meat on the bone!
I'd bet that bride cooks! Can't argue too much there!

I’d rather take a forfeit
