Otto Black

[WrestlingRasta]

Junior World Finals.  If you don’t know, you better get familiar. 

[MPhillips]

He's also enrolled at Iowa...

[Truzzcat]

he is incredible at greco but he lost to Thomas Verrette at junior nats and Thomas is like a 15-25 type guy in the nation I would not expect huge things from him in folk at least not right away.

Iowa is a good room to make the right improvements.  As much as they get shit on they are 2nd only to Penn State the last 15 years.

I would argue Nc state and Northern Iowa but for sure really strong room between the RTC and college team around that weight too.

For Northern Iowa, they have coaches and coaches who have kids who focus on MGR around that weight.

NC State was perplexing for me.  I would have said tOSU before them.

I thought you meant develop kids in regards to folk I guess I was not looking at this in the context of greco which I should have been considering hes in the u20 finals.

Ah, fair.  Yeah it would have been way off if comparing to Folkstyle, for sure.

he seems to have departed the Indiana Mat forums in dramatic fashion 

My guess is that he resurfaces on the Hawkeye forum now that his son is there

Kid wrestles with some fire.  Same with Cortez.  Both had tough finals matches but did their country proud.

Probably deserves it's own thread but check out Attao's last two matches on Flo if you can.

He has already been there

I liked LJB and his banter on the boards. Congratulations to his son, U20 world silver medalist!

lol, classic LJB.   Claims Micic cheated and didn’t have to actually make weight for worlds, shortly after says “I never bashed anyone…”

Entertaining but predictable.  90% of his posts were either complaining about the stallfest/“women’s style” or about how American Greco refs suck.
