Not that easy or simple anymore. Power 4 teams (and some others) have a 30 man roster cap and each athlete must be on a full scholarship. Most of the one's who are worth something (or have proven they are worth something) will already be picked up. The ones who have limited resumes (haven't proven their worth) will not be able to walk-on to a power 4 school, period because walk-ons no longer exist at the power 4 teams. And for the schools not opted into revenue sharing, they're still battling with the 9.9 scholarship thing. So it's not as easy as just showing up and proving your worth anymore. Coaches literally can't afford to 'take a chance on a kid'.

Is Dake’s head coaching announcement eminent?

To be fair, Dake's an eminent wrestler and would-be coach. -

Tough Day For Uncle Bernard

1. That is not what you said... 2. It is Wikipedia anyway, Bro! Seriously: Is your solution to keep sending foreign aid to Gaza so that Hamas can continue to steal it? -
It sounds like you think conservatives need safe spaces, no? Education requires learning about the world, and that includes viewpoints different than yours. What conservatives want now is what the overzealous "Social Justice Warriors" of the past wanted - to sanitize the world so they don't have to feel icky when they see something they don't agree with. It was wrong then and it's wrong now. You can't complain about entitlement and weakness in the youth while kicking and screaming about how they should be protected from every belief and opinion you disagree with. That is exactly what breeds entitlement and weakness.

BigRedFan replied to headshuck's topic in College Wrestling
Not fair: there's no evidence Dake is not intelligent, and plenty to indicate he is intelligent. What he appears to lack is a good sense of critical thinking when it comes to science, especially when the evidence goes counter to his pre-conceptions and world view. -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Hamas "Another alternative to the PLO encouraged by Israeli officials was Islamist politician Ahmed Yassin, a Muslim Brotherhood member who ran a network of mosques, clubs, and schools in Gaza. During the 1970s and 1980s, Israel granted licences and support to Yassin so that he could build and expand his network.[2][18] American research Jonathan Schanzer wrote that "by the late 1970s, the Israelis believed that they had found Fatah’s Achilles’ heel ... Fatah had become anxious over the growing influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza," saying that the Israelis subsequently "made the ill-fated decision to permit the Brotherhood to operate with relatively little oversight" so that it would undermine the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).[19] In the late 1980s, Yassin's network would evolve into the armed Islamist and nationalist group Hamas."[20] @Husker_Du

I would have PSU #1. At the highest level, the name of the game isn't recruiting guys who are going to AA. It's recruiting guys who are going to win multiple NCAA titles. That's how you win a team title. PSU has two here: Blaze and Duke. I don't like predicting college success as I've been wrong before, but man, I'll eat my shorts if these guys don't win at least a couple titles each. I'm not sure OSU has any. Are Lockett, Robideau and Vega good enough to win a NCAA title? Yeah, probably. But I dunno. I guess Lockett, but his forte is freestyle. I wouldn't be surprised to see him come up a bit short in folk. Robideau is amazing but not going to beat Duke. Vega may end up being the best folkstyler of the bunch, but I'm not ready to say he's a likely titlist. Possible, yes, but not likely. Bottom line is I see 2 sure-thing national champs in PSU's class, and a possibility in Henkel/Asher, and 3 possibles in OSU's. Or maybe 1 "likely" in Lockett and 2 possibles. But I still see more PSU titles over 4 years. You'll notice I'm not talking so much about the other guys, and there's a reason for that: it isn't 2010 anymore. Yes, there's other potential AAs there: Desmond for PSU, and about 3-4 guys for OSU. But the thing is, a school like PSU or OSU can bring in an AA through the portal at the drop of a hat. Look at Iowa: a month hadn't passed before they had 4 AA-type guys filling out their lineup holes. In today's "age of the portal" and NIL, I'm just not that impressed by bringing in a guy who has AA potential, as it's not really adding in a significant way to what they were probably already going to get without those recruits. The depth reflected in OSU's class would be worth far more if it were, say, Lehigh -- in which case this recruiting class would be utterly transformational. But at OSU, half those guys will be gone in 2 years when they can't pierce the lineup. For schools vying for a NCAA title, the best class is going to be the one that brings in the most future champs, as that's where team titles come from -- and team titles attract future AA-level transfers. OSU has some hammers and I may be underselling the number of future titlists they have there, but I see more in PSU's class, so they get my vote for #1.

Thank you brother, certainly gives some perspective at the very least. I appreciate the wrestling community and especially this one here. Take care and God bless! -
It started out innocently enough. He smiled at her and she smiled back behind donald's back at a conference in Canada. Of course he was enraged but Justin is fit and handsome and for Melania it was love at first sight. They speak to each other in French

Which Is The #1 Recruiting Class
RandolphTJones replied to Husker_Du's topic in High School Wrestling
100% @Husker_Du PJ Duke is the best high school recruit since.............? - Today

What makes you say that? Not too long ago he shrunk his body to 74kg. With his frame, I don’t see him getting over 180-185 unless he got really out of shape. Even if he’s 185, a 12 pound cut is going to seem easy for him.

Coolest Names of Competitors at the US Open
jross replied to Wrasslin's topic in International Wrestling
https://www.cracked.com/article_14982_the-9-manliest-names-in-world.html #1 Staff Sgt. Max Fightmaster The Name: Holy ! Just ... holy . Fightmaster is the kind of name we all wish we were born with. And, the irony is that it's the one name that will prevent you from ever having to actually fight anybody. If you ever get into a scuffle at a bar, before the fists start swinging, people would pull the other guy back shouting, "No you fool! He's Max Fightmaster! Think about this for a second!" Max Fightmaster. Holy . The Man: Look, we know you probably don't believe us but we promise you there is a real, actual guy called Max Fightmaster. He was mentioned on CBS News in an article about the Iraq war. We know, it blew our damn minds, as well. You think, sure, he's talking to the news and he just makes up a fake name, like the e-mail Bill O'Reilly read on the air from "Jack Mehoffer." But no, we looked him up and he's a real guy. He also has a MySpace, although it's set to private, denying casual browsers the insight into what Fightmaster gets up to day-to-day. However, we like to think it's probably something completely f*king awesome. Does He Live Up to It? Max Fightmaster is also in the army, or at least he was in 2003. The awesome part? His rank: Staff Sergeant. This means Max's full name and title is STAFF SGT. MAX FIGHTMASTER. That is the manliest name on the planet. Hands down, bar none. Just saying that name will put hair on your chest. Even if you're a woman. Girls, please don't say Max's name out loud. The Only Way It Could Have Been Manlier: Where do you go when your name is already Staff Sgt. Max F*cking Fightmaster? Oh, wait, there you go. Just make "F*cking" an official part of the name. We think it's almost impossible to say the name without it anyway. -
