Worth a listen: Really interesting insight from #Mizzou wrestling coach Brian Smith on how this transfer portal/NIL era has changed things in the wrestling world. Smith is a MASSIVE culture person & loves seeing young men grow up in his program. That's a reason why 'Tiger Style' is such a recognizable brand. He has embraced & also benefitted from the portal era like other schools, but also wants to prioritize what he believes is one of the most important things in all of this: relationships. "We had 10 seniors this year, graduate and speak at our banquet, and I was like, man, is this going to be like the last time something like this happens?...the good thing is we don't have a lot of people leaving."
