Yikes

Well the research I refer to was not about the teachers but about the kids. The importance is starting to read to them early, age 2 for example, and do things to educate them early. If you can teach a 4 year old a low single surely he/she can learn simple math of scoring, reading etc. Sports is a great way to learn discipline as well as reading, math etc. Shoot if they are playing soccer might be a great time to learn Spanish while it's easy for them just like English.

I like the old timers, especially when they beat the youngins.

Indeed. I have been keeping my thoughts on this rather quiet until a more formal article like this came out. I always have felt unnerved about Starocci for most of his Penn State career. The obsession with dominance over other people just felt like something that would bleed over off the mat. I'm just pretty shocked about the aspects that mention Cael. Wonder if his negligence will lead to anything.

You must live in a different world than I do because in my experience they deny l legitimate claims constantly.

There are some horrific and very serious allegations in that article.

or perhaps this?

And of course you’ve got club coaches like former tOSU wrestler Brakan Mead telling kids they should be held back

there isn't any fraud https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/house-budget-committee-talks-fraud-entitlement-abuse-during-hearing?utm_source=mux&utm_medium=social-media&utm_campaign=social-media-autopost not holding my breath over this 'conversation' but it is an admission of a problem

people stopping this man would be charged with a hate crime

this is what you need to know https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLWENupt1Rc/# find me the man, i will find you a crime

LOL why do you keep making this about jews?

You were certainly a late bloomer then. I am a late bloomer in almost everything except biology. I hit puberty when I was 11 years old, the summer before I went to middle school.

I think the concept is good. Nostalgia for wrestling fans and guys that have garnered an MMA fanbase. It's a good way to get more eyes until the league is a bit more established. I also think the timing of the first event probably makes it a little harder to get any international guys or even most of our world teamers because they all probably leave for camp shortly after.

This has been a thing in Ohio for a long time. I am pretty sure both Stieber's did the same thing. I think the prevalence of social media have just made it more widely known. As someone who did not hit puberty until I was going into my senior year it would have been very beneficial. Ultimately, I do not think it gives you an advantage when you get to college for most guys it probably flattens out their growth curve sooner.

I don’t really see a problem with that. Thanks for proving that Zohran doesn’t hate Jews! BTW, Nick Sortor called Zohran a “jihadist” and said in reference to him that “we must take our country back by any means necessary.” If the number 86 is a call to violence, then that certainly is as well.

Why are people so upset about someone spending an extra year in school? I really don't get how upset people are over this. People are losing their minds.

It could be interesting but I doubt it. IF (big if) they are in shape enough, it would be cool to see those guys compete again. I picked Darrion Caldwell as the best 149 of the last 25 years, but I just don’t see how he can compete with the current world team member. I mean if he was close to that level, why not make a run at the world team?

well if you have any doubt about whats coming

UWW says he will be 19 this year? Meaning before January 1st, 2026.

Just hope he recovers.

Before Gary Kurdelmeier and Dan Gable Iowa was second banana in the State. Had never won an NCAA title. Following Gable was tough. He had the touch & brought out the best in his wrestlers. Cael has it, most don't. Some are close. We'll see about Taylor. Tom is producing a good product, just not Good Enough to meet expectations. Still a good coach, just not getting the results expected. Do you get rid of the guy who consistently has you in the top echelon? You are vying for second place most years - along with a few other programs - though you are usually a bit above them. "Iowa Style" - is it holding them back? Can the Terrible Twins break out & actually challenge Penn State on a yearly basis? Oklahoma State is in the conversation but won't be more than that for a few years, if ever. Great Recruiting does not guarantee great results. New Coach, new expectations, new excitement - it wears off in the face of reality. OSU did not beat Iowa in the dual this past season. Maybe this year? Should be an interesting season.
