THis would be a huge turn of events. I will not believe it until I see it.

Chief....it is only fair...you all have Tyrone Lewis. It is a hard thing to see, your guy wearing Cremsin and Cream instead of Orange and Black.

Tough luck....I am a TL fan, but we need a 165lbr more than we need an assistant coach. I think Bailey and I shot the same about of takedowns this year...0.

My understanding is John Smith was at CK FS practice with Caldwell.
Also saw where Dakota Leach got to bang with Smith's son.
How cool.

There is high chance that there is going to be a pretty legit 165 headed to OU as well. I am a huge Caldwell fan and these two know each other well. wink

Two decorated members of the University of Wisconsin wrestling team have made plans to transfer, capping one of the most demoralizing seasons in program history.
Andrew Howe, a 2010 NCAA champion and three-time All-American at 165 pounds, and Travis Rutt, an All-American at 184 pounds in 2011, will take their talents to Oklahoma.
“They thought there would be a better fit for them somewhere else,” UW coach Barry Davis said Thursday.
Howe and Rutt took redshirts in 2011‑12 in order to train for the U.S. Olympic Team that will compete in London. Neither wrestler qualified at the trials, which were held last month in Iowa City, Iowa.
Howe lost in the best-of-three freestyle finals by injury default to Jordan Burroughs when he suffered a knee injury that required surgery, according to his mother, Debbie.
Davis said both wrestlers contacted him last week seeking to be released from their scholarships to join the Sooners. He said permission was granted “because if they don’t want to be here, it’s best that they go where they want.”
For months, rumors have flown that Howe, from Cedar Lake, Ind., would leave UW and follow one-time Badgers assistant Donny Pritzlaff to Michigan. Pritzlaff helped train Howe, who finished in the top three in the NCAA meet all three years at UW.
“This has been brewing for a while, especially with Andrew,” Davis acknowledged.
Asked if he could have done anything different to keep Howe and/or Rutt, Davis said, “I don’t think I could have.”
Howe didn’t return a phone message left for him at his parents’ home Thursday. Rutt, from New Prague, Minn., didn’t return a message left on his cell phone.
The transfer requests cap a forgettable year that Davis called “one of the toughest” he’s dealt with since becoming UW coach in 1994. With three highly regarded veterans taking Olympic redshirts — Tyler Graff finished third at the trials at 132 pounds — the Badgers lost all eight Big Ten Conference dual meets, including two by shutout.
UW finished last in the Big Ten meet and 41st at the NCAA championships, this after placing in the top 10 at the national tournament the three previous years.
Losing two proven performers is a difficult climax, Davis said, “but you want kids that want to be here.”
In the next breath, Davis said he’s determined to view the turmoil in an upbeat way.
“There are a lot of positives going on,” he said, rattling off the return of Graff and a quality collection of recruits led by Jesse Thielke of Germantown, who won four WIAA state titles before taking off a year to make a bid for the Olympics in the Greco-Roman style at 132 pounds.
“I’m taking it all as a positive and looking ahead,” Davis said.

STILLWATER, Okla. – Coach John Smith and the Oklahoma State wrestling program have added another star to the Cowboy roster, announcing the addition of two-time All-American Tyler Caldwell.

Caldwell wrestled at 165 pounds as a freshman and sophomore at Oklahoma and put together impressive performances both seasons.

He was the 2011 NCAA runner-up after beating the defending NCAA champion, Andrew Howe of Wisconsin, in the semifinals and he finished fifth at the 2010 NCAA Championships as an unseeded freshman. He holds a career collegiate record of 63-20, including a 32-6 mark as a sophomore and a 31-14 record as a freshman.

The Wichita, Kan., native will seek immediate eligibility after taking an Olympic redshirt year in 2011-12 and has potentially two years remaining to compete at the collegiate level.

At the 2012 U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials in April, Caldwell reached the semifinals of the 74 kg bracket.

He put together a 150-4 overall record while lettering four years at Goddard High School in Kansas. He was a two-time Greco All-American and four-time Kansas state champion and holds the state record for most falls in a career with 125.
