I don't know Storely, but Gross seems like he's got a personality that is particularly suited to work with kids and HS Wrestlers. I'm also more inclined to go with guys who just did things a bit different than guys who were just hammers and had freakish athletic ability(though Kolat is an exceptional coach). So Gross, Askren...a guy like Gomez who teaches kids to just go for it(and then they can go to a College where the College coaches teach the kids to go for it juuuust a little bit less often, particularly when you're getting in on and the legs and dominating the match)...Andronian. Those types. It's the Scoring+Fun+Hard work ideology that I think is great for kids. I see this kids...and I've seen it in my own Family(even 20+ years ago) where you have kids who are good, but a Dad is just out there SCREAMING at a kid and he loses and that kid gets all emotional and then they run off. I had a couple uncles like that. Guys who won a few JV Matches and now they're treating the Hilltopper Classic, School Boy 110 LB weight class like the 54th Olympiad. I've seen a few of them quit, a few just melt down in big matches later on, I've seen it with other kids. My Dad and Coaches...they MIGHT ask what I learned after saying good job. My Dad probably not even that, just 'what do you want to eat on the way home.' So yeah, I think a coach that does NOT emphasize results until you're in HS is the BIGGEST criteria. I feel like this should also just be a blanket statement or rule for kids at all levels and also common sense, but for some reason(parents wanting to live vicariously through their sons) it's not...

Yeah, I don't see it happening either, esp since Ryder's plan was to grow into a fullsized 184 even though I'd like to see him wrestle Haines at 174. My head will explode if he goes 174 and ends up getting squeezed out of the lineup by a PSU transfer.

Admits he was troll fake news maybe spend less time lying and trolling pre fight and training ? pre fight

What announcers even said 174 was his best weight last year? During...the U20s last year or when? Also...if the goal was just to have everyone cut down another weight, why go with David Taylor? Just keep Smith around... He looked plenty big for 184 and that was...again, last year. He handled Arnold, didn't get up any strength and was taller. Looks like a pretty healthy '84. And I'm going to assume he's been lifting and getting stronger. Wasn't he listed as a 84/97 coming in? I know he was Wrestling 182 3 years ago...so 174 seems like an aggressive cut for an entire season. Going there for a weekend or to make a world team is one thing, but doing it consistently seems...like a very bad idea.

That's a very good point. Bit of a shortsighted move by the organizers. Idk if any international wrestlers that fans care about would take the event seriously, anyway. Sounds like it may end up being a bit of a circus with Hogan at the wheel.

Possible Cronin-RBY matchup tomorrow

I noticed that the UWW will be hosting its first World Amateur MMA Championships this October. I have my doubts that it'll have much of an impact on our post-collegiate wrestlers or FS/GR teams, but it's another option to take towards going pro in MMA. https://uww.org/article/first-ever-world-amateur-mma-championships-be-held-novi-sad

In Peru?

Well...he wasn't arrested and he's young. So why are the odds so low that anyone else would pick him up? Couldn't just be a clash of personalities?

how many did you?

she was a salad shooter

Trumps going to take us to WWIII!!!! oh wait

so how can they remain here?

after the country is under foreign control and we fight to take it back, if you are still alive you will be treated like the nazi collaborators i hope

DUE PROCESS!!!

I have heard Hughes is hurt. So not sure he is in mix for spot in lineup this year.

that's an interesting question. i don't think their frames will get much bigger. but... they have gone thru their HS career without staying down at their 'national weight' consistently. it sort of seems like they are 33/41 but the every-week schedule of college might see them 41/49. i dont think they are any higher than that.
