Andrew Howe and Travis Rutt to Oklahoma
Well the wait is over, we have been wondering what will happen to Andrew Howe after his Olympic redshirt year and now we finally know. It appears that he will finish his career at the University of Oklahoma where he will transfer to from Wisconsin. Following to Oklahoma along with Howe will be 184lb All-American Travis Rutt. I can see why this may have happened, Jared Frayer used to coach at Wisconsin and my guess is that Andrew Howe and Travis Rutt both like and respect him enough to want to follow him to OU, it doesn't hurt that he is an Olympian now too.

One more thing that makes this just a little more interesting is the Tyler Caldwell situation. Caldwell just left Oklahoma for Oklahoma State, and Caldwell actually upset Andrew Howe in the 2011 NCAA semifinals. Now those two wrestlers will be at Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and very well could see each other several times next year. I for one hope they are at the same weight, and from any rumors I have heard Andrew Howe might be at 174lb next year, I hope Caldwell is too. This is huge for Oklahoma and I think we will hear them start to make a little bit more noise this year, the second year for head coach Mark Cody.

Bedlam just got more exciting!
