CB probably wanted to transfer anyway! Then he hears McD is going to be a coach and he probably fainted from yesterday excitement!
Great get, especially if he can stay at 125 for 3 years. He did well for a true freshman last year. Hope he can make a big jump in his 2nd year in a college room.
With him added, we really do not have a weak weight next year, assuming Reinhardt can make 184.
Does he have to sit out a season?

Anybody heard the plan? Is he redshirting or starting right away.
Side note I saw Bono and Reader had a picture with Hunter Lewis who could be a potential 4 year 125er.

If he was granted a full release then he can start right away if the coaching staff wants him to. The only time that comes into question is if a transfer goes to another school in the same conference, or if the transfer wasn't granted a full release (ie Metcalf)
Considering our other options at 125 and the effort to try to create excitement around the program right away, I would assume the plan would be to wrestle Brown next year, assuming he is granted a full release. I would think he will be with the coaching change.
That is awesome!

I think you're right. Schools are pretty good about that as long it's not within the conference.
So why does wrestling have different rules than say football or basketball? Unless you're a grad transfer, I think it's mandatory you sit a year.

I thought you only have to sit a year if you transfer to the same conference, in football and basketball too.

Th only times that I'm aware of where you don't have to sit, is if you're a grad transfer or go to a lower division. There might be another situation, but I'm not sure.
Here is a link to transfer rules I found. If I read it correctly based on Brown's full release from SD he would be eligible right away.

I think it has to do with the type of release the school give that athlete (conditional vs non-conditional). You look at the mess a few years ago when Bo R had all kind of restrictions on Jarrod Uthoff and that became a mess and a black eye for the UW.
I am assuming based on other transfers recently(Suriano) that he will be able to go right away.

What I found strange about the media attention surrounding Uthoff is that same situation is very common at a lot, if not most schools. It's very rare where you see a BIG10 athlete transfer to another BIG10 school in football or basketball, but for some reason Bo was the whipping boy. So the sports that aren't typically considered revenue producing are exempt from having to sit out, whereas football, basketball, hockey and baseball it appears you must sit out except for some extenuating circumstances. I know some have been able to transfer and not sit if a family member is very ill.
