Show Notes
The Boilermakers welcomed a special guest to the Always Aggressive Podcast as they prep for this weekend’s Big Ten Championships. Willie Saylor of MatScouts joined to talk all things Purdue wrestling and conference tournament as Purdue sets sail for Penn State and the Bryce Jordan Center.
A former employee of The Open Mat and FloWrestling, Saylor currently runs his own site through Rokfin.com, and offers content that varies from high school wrestling to NCAA predictions to his own podcast show, “The First Word.”

The conversation digressed into a variety of topics, including a new signee for the Boilermakers, the concepts of “busts” and “surprises” as kinds progress from high school to college and some potential upsets this weekend in State College.
