Is This the Premier College Wrestling Forum?

[Elevator]

I do not even go anywhere else, but a few years back I would duck into the blue and white illustrated because they had some info on recruits and expected/suggexsted recruiting strategies that seemed informative.  I appreciate the many informed and thoughful posters here but is there somewhere else that is valuable for the collegiate wrestling fan?  I expect not particularly, but interested in the wisdom of the board.

Is he still around? I thought someone posted an obit on the old board but maybe I'm thinking of a different person

BIG passed away a while ago. He was one of the OGs on themat and TWT.

How many Active College forums are out there?

I know the Hawkeye Report, Penn State Wrestling forum and ScarletNation forum are all pretty active throughout the year but are there other ones that stay active?

HR? The best? At what? Being a bunch whiny little crybabies? Sure. Knowing a goddamn thing about wrestling? Nope.

Ohio State has 3..one specific to Ohio State but the other 2 are a mix of Ohio HS Wrestling and Ohio State.

Most major programs have one. I know OkSt, IASt, VTech, Minny, Cornell are all ones I have bookmarked.

I appreciate this forum I only use Ohio forums because I feel confident any news or insight from Iowa, PSU, etc. board will be shared on here.

Like Doc said, 3 major Ohio wrestling forums:

Ohiowrestling.net- A lot of old school, mature talk mostly around college. I just read

Yappi- A free for all, mainly high school. I post occasionally.

247sports/Bucknuts- Good insiders, Ohio St and some national talk. I just read.

The answer is YES but can you image what it would be like on a Rivals platform without the pop-ups ... but Bob says no - that scoundrel.

Yeah, I think so.  I lurk some of the aforementioned Rivals forms, and they are just too cringe to consider making an account for.  Only good if you want area-specific gossip on the given school.
