All Activity

Someone on here said that @Tripnsweep is actually a teacher in AZ. (I personally don’t buy it as he’s a punk a$$ clown). If that is in fact true the post/gif he made in here about Charlie Kirk’s death would most likely be enough to break the code of conduct he signed. Conduct Unbecoming is “behavior that is inappropriate, unprofessional, or violates expected standards of integrity for a particular role or group”. Rules are signed off on for a reason.

I can't remember the last time another wrestler received as much scrutiny and criticism as Lee has since starting college. Every single time he has had a bad match, let alone a loss, the comments would swarm in about how he's cooked, Iowa is cooked, the Brands have failed him/cudgled him/abused him, Dan Dennis should be fired, and all his practice partners over the years - Ayala, DeSanto, Real Woods, Jaydin and others - have been absolute bums. Perhaps he should seek out some sort of change. Based on certain comments he has made in interviews the last couple years and how ridiculously self critical he can be after close matches or losses I think seeking out a sports psychologist or paying a visit to Carl's secret California witch doctor (the one that magically fixed Gilman's broken foot) is not a crazy thing. But aside from that, the rhetoric around Lee has always surprised me. I'm an obviously biased Iowa fan but I really don't think other wrestlers get close to the same treatment

Speaking for myself, if I were trying to go from #5 in the world to #1, I would try to get into a room with other world-class wrestlers.

AWA kid so he will probably end up at 157/165 and win a hodge as they seem to do. Kinda joking but I think the kid has incredible potential and while I did not think he had a spot year 1 or likely year 2 I was really excited to see what that room could do for him and see if he could find a way into that lineup. Great get for Michigan hope he does awesome.

He and Raney had a wild finals match at this year's Fargo. A must watch!

The more I see the more I want him fired. This is not how a coach talks to a wrestler who just lost a big match https://www.instagram.com/share/_m5c1LJvE

thank you

2x Wisconsin state champ, Fargo Champ. Top 40 recruit in the class of ‘26. AWA kid who has had some fantastic matches with one of the Raineys bros.

If there's no link to their federal position, job, etc then i'd say no. Might depend a bit on specifically what was said.

Last name is in the title of the thread skippy

I'm not sure they were all at the peak of the their powers while on the same team by the same comparison as the mccort guys but I would put that up there with Bosco. St eds had Heil Abounader walz mark martin all at one time thats a pretty nasty squad 2011 st parish graham 3 jordan brothers ryan taylor Nick Brascetta

For the idiots in the back (me) - can you shine some light on who this young man is

That’s true. Get him on Ghasempour’s strength training program or get him in with the Russian State Lab and he will be fine ha

How has his improvement been lately while wrestling with high schoolers? Has he been benefitting or has he been hurt by his lack of training partners?

Let's assume not.

Never heard of the guy. Was he famous?

I believe ed ruth had to sit out the lock haven dual because he was dusting some sugar the day prior however that could be all hearsay.

He is kinda skinny but has a big back and really long limbs, certainly a better frame than chamizo to make that jump although I think Chamizo is more of an outlier in all regards than someone to base anything off of. Not sure of anyone else that has done it effectively.

I don't have a take. Takes are opinions. I don't have one here. Saying the score was the score is not a take. Saying the score wasn't the actual score isn't a take. You can value offense more than counter offense. That's a take. You can't say the actual score was 20-3. That's not a take. It's simply wrong and has been the whole time.

That’s a good thought… not sure if it’s the weight cut or just cardio, but it sure seems like the weight cut probably has something to do with it. At 70, I think he’d be a beast! Problem is it’s not an Olympic weight and I’m not sure he could fill out to be a full sized 74 any time soon. We all know 74 is LOADED, so I just can’t quite see him having the horsepower to compete them in the next year or two. But 2028 is still a long way off, so if he starts right now maybe that will be his best shot?

depends

Can’t you read?

Sorry you had to cut the vacation short ... maybe next year.

Charlie who?

It's not Stillwater but Bassett as a primary training partner is not just some high schooler. He can also clearly spend time in Stillwater as necessary.
