4. RBY - pinned by Austin Gomez in a dual
5. IMar - pinned by Nolf and Joseph
6. Metcalf - pinned by Caldwell

3. Dan Gable
4. John Smith
5. Ed Ruth
6. Nolf

How did Myles Martin make a GOAT list?  Great wrestler/ 1x NCAA champs that were pinned might be a better headline?

Hendricks was pinned by Churella

No one says good morning to me. I did an experiment for two weeks straight by not uttering a single word to any of you first. My hypothesis was proven correct. I am not spoken to unless I speak first. This is not a cry for help nor an…”Oh please, Mother! Your ignorance has driven me to my breaking point!” No. This was simply a scientific study. It’s fascinating how my own family managed to ignore my existence for fourteen days. I wasn’t asked to do any chores, or finish my homework, and I didn’t have to attend Uncle Wyatt’s funeral. RIP Uncle Wyatt: if only you had seen that bird headed straight for your jugular. Anywho, being invisible actually benefited me. I’m so glad none of you care for me because then I would actually have to care for you guys, too. And that’s a lot of work on my part. But, good morning! Have a good day at work! Don’t think about me too much!

Free Monologues for Kids? Interesting choice.

Reminds me of Sixteen Candles when Molly Ringwald's family forget her sixteenth birthday. But she did land Jake.

Hopefully Jimmy finds his Jake.

November 11, 2013, at the Kaloust Bearcat Open (Binghamton), in 1:24. Sorry, don't know what time of day it was.

First day of official Cornell competition for him.  He also beat Nathanial Brown that day for the first of his six victories over Brown.

Zain was never pinned in college (or high school) but he was caught and pinned in freestyle at Pan Ams when he was running either a leg lace or a gut wrench.

RBY was pinned at the Southern Scuffle, not in a dual. He was ahead at that time by 8-2

same NCAA finals Lou Banach pinned Bruce Baumgartner.

Zahid two time champ, would have been 3 if not for poor decisions. I believe he got pinned in a dual his junior year and came back and beat the same guy at NCAAs'

[Ragu]

Kaden Gfeller pinned nick lee in scuffle finals in their freshman years i believe

I don’t mean to be mr grumpy gills, but GOAT is a pretty straightforward moniker.  

I have never heard anyone refer to any of these people, or make a well-defended argument, about how any of them are the greatest of all time in college wrestling.  That conversation really starts and ends with one dude.

But then when we get to international wrestling, all bets are off.  Hard to account for some crazy guy out of the mountains who is juiced to the gills.

Dan Russell pinned Pat Smith .... Is Pat the only 4x to get pinned?  If so that would qualify as the greatest pin of a GOAT.... Therefor Dan Russell is the greatest GOAT trainer???
