We would have the funkiest middleweight coaching staff ever
w/ Bryce, Yianni and Coach Frayer if that were to happen. Maybe Yianni could make a call to his fellow Cornell wrestler Shapiro ** Edited by VTDante at 4/11/2026, 10:32:08 AM

If it's Yianni then Shapiro would be a lock

Yianni as the 3rd coach, JO as a full time resident athlete,
and Shapiro from the portal. Let's will it into existence!

If Swaw is right...
Would taking Nebraska's best middleweight coach maybe make them a less attractive destination for Shapiro? Making VT a more attractive destination for Shapiro? He doesn't seem to be about $$$ Also I'm sure they're pushing for JO full time but I believe he is working at or opening a youth club in Jersey when he's not in Blacksburg so I don't know if he has the desire to leave that.
