The Barn Session Sammy Cokeley

Big news as two-time NCAA All-American Wyatt Hendrickson joins us on the podcast to announce his commitment for his final year of college eligibility! We discuss his decision, the factors that played into it, the future of his career, and how excited he is for the upcoming season. 

We review the performances of Spencer Lee and Zain Retherford at the Last Chance Olympic Games Qualifier and begin the long conversation of what our squad will look like at the games. We also begin to dive into the hype of David Taylor's Oklahoma State coaching staff and the lineup for the Cowboys in the 2024-25 season.

This episode was recorded mere hours before the announcement that David Taylor would be the next head coach at Oklahoma State University... So while it is kind of lacking context we believe it's still entertaining to release as we discuss what we could expect to see if the hire did happen (it did). What coaches will David Taylor bring on board, what athletes follow the hype to Stillwater? This is one of the most exciting things to happen in the sport in recent history!

We discuss the ongoing developments within the college wrestling transfer portal and how it, along with NIL, has changed the landscape of the sport forever.

Recapping the U17 and U20 Freestyle Open/WTT from this past weekend. Highlighting a few key matchups and head-scratching results. 

We look back on an exciting and earth shattering weekend of wrestling. Reflecting on watching the surge of young stars as the standard of wrestling excellence shifts in real time. Legends of the sport fall to the up-and-coming greats as we round the corner to the pinnacle of sports, the Olympics!
