Least likely to ever make a Heel Team

[CHROMEBIRD]

Who's got 125, Anthony Robles or Ben Kjar?

Royce Alger

I have to put cenzo as my 165, dude was always so positive and smiley around wrestling.

Plus, decking Imar his freshman year was just epic.

Troy Nickerson @125

Jordan Burroughs

Vito for last year at NCAAs

Nino deserves to be mentioned. 

[Broomstick]

Bo Nickal would always lend a hand to help an opponent up after the pin.  Most accepted it.

[Konquest]

Ben Kjar,  and currrent NCAA wrestlers Peyton Robb, David Carr and Parker Keckeisen.  Everyone loves these guys regardless of what team they support.

Michael Kemerer. Few hawks that I’ve ever actually found it in me to root for and he was one.

Agree with Robb and meant to say Carr, and O’Toole seems to fit, also.

Have to add my man Mike Macchiavello to the list.

On FRL they referred to him as the nicest man in wrestling.

That he once gave my wife and I credit for his NCAA title doesn't hurt his case either.

I totally mis-interpreted the title of this thread.  I thought it was a listing of wrestlers/recruits who definitely would never wrestle for the University of N. Carolina.  Imagine my surprise when it proceeded to a 2 page thread.  I had to open it to see what all the buzz was about and realized the real topic.

I often keep myself humble via stupidity.

Encouraging folks to read "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is beyond heel behavior.

I think Alger is pretty popular in retirement, but he was brutal as a competitor.  Amazing for a Hawk, he is pretty tight with the Smiths of Oklahoma State.  Not so sure about his relationship with Kevin Jackson, though...

That's what is known as a "heel turn" in sports-entertainment circles.

Seems to be a pretty popular book with some Ivy leaguers these days,

Not saying I am on one side or the other, but Nashon has been pretty polarizing.

[CHROMEBIRD]

Max Murin? Ian Miller? DSJ?

Politically he is (or at least was) but he's actually quite the pleasant personality to what I have seen.

[CHROMEBIRD]

Nahshon's stock was way up after his title interview and people learned about his tough upbringing. But that was before the political and antivax stuff. 

[11986]

current Virginia Tech assistant coach and Oklahoma NCAA champ Cody Brewer, (Dr.) Jim Martin, the Banach brothers, Coach Strobel from Lehigh (RIP), just a few that come to mind

he has a lot of the tendencies people hate about Iowa, difference being he's sort of funny so it comes off way better.

Besides being a brutal competitor he never did much to make people hate him. He has always had a sense of humor, so he isn't truly an awful person. Maybe if you didn't like Iowa back then or now you might not like him. But he wasn't a dirty competitor or anything.
