One of my daughters is dealing with some body-image issues, and this post got me thinking: Wrestlers are pretty ruthless when it comes to judging the size and shape of each other, e.g. we just called the 285s "fatties," the 118s "midgets," that one tall, skinny kid "stick," etc. But, it seems like we just shrugged it off. I don't know of any teammates who were/are haunted by the taunts. What are your experiences? Are there a bunch of kids hurting in silence? Or, are wrestlers generally more calloused? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One million percent. We sound like those old people yelling at me in the 90s for listening to rap music. times move on, the young people of every generation are going to have their own thing, lets try to be better than previous older generation and just recognize IT' S NOT FOR US, we don't have to scream that the Devil is in Elvis' gyrating hips or whatever. That's ok, lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldenanimal Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 On 6/20/2024 at 7:20 PM, flyingcement said: Next seven? Pitt Johnstown Wisconsin Parkside Millersville West Liberty Gardner-Webb Bloomsburg Cal State Bakersfield Also certain schools like the military academies will not just accept him because he's a great wrestler. he will need to stoop to the level of obtaining congressional support for his nomination, as well as academic, and character-based attributes. Other schools like Harvard, Stanford, Princeton probably don't care as much about his wrestling and would be unlikely to admit him on that basis only unless his academics are truly outstanding. So the notion of having it all be up to him is also incorrect, but could still be a fun exercise to play out. I would be willing to bet that Pitt-Johnstown is closer to the top-10 than eliminated in the next round. One, he lives there; two, his father is the head coach of Bishop McCort located in, you guessed it, Johnstown; and three, his longtime club coach at Young Guns, Jody Strittmatter, is an assistant coach at Pitt-Johnstown. Young Guns, btw, is HQ’d in Ebensburg, less than 30 minutes from Bassett’s front door in Johnstown. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenwave Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 This media grab is just embarrassing for himself and all schools he never really considered. I would hope one of his parents or advisers would have given him more guidance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, rap still sucks and Elvis is a thief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Energy Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Yes, I’m old … thus minimize my opinion. Here it is … seems like I’ve seen examples of folks that preen so much and love themselves so much that the ‘look at how cool I am’ approach all the time results in a bit of a backlash / fade. We will see if it happens here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say I didn't care not. He might be the #1 overall recruit, so I think his ultimate choice is significant news. I don't care for the long drawn out process. The 7 or 14 schools he's eliminated are not news. It's a total snooze. Stringing everyone along to just to eliminate schools in the most predictable way ever is just bad entertainment and the more people invested will just lead to more people disappointed. If he's going to this nonsense at least spice it up somehow. If he's going ultimately pick the most predicable school then drop some other big name early on and as often as possible. Next week kick out Ohio State or Iowa or both. That would at least be news. Bassett eliminates Iowa. Big news. More to discuss. Bassett eliminates Bloomberg - not so much.
