BuckyBadger Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Not much chatter about him. Freshman NCAA champ who I think was the 50th rated recruit. Most freshman champs would betting their own āPotential 4 timerā threads. I donāt know much about him. Iām sure he was good and maybe a bit under the radar coming in, but surprised there isnāt more discussion about him. Maybe one of those guys that just made leaps once he got to a good college room. 3 2
Jimmy Cinnabon Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Clutch beyond his years. Should be a multi-time champ.
creek chub Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Heās a stud. Props to him and this is coming from a VT fan. I think he was never a state champ either but was a high placer. Coach Pops deserves credit for scouting and developing. He and Eddie had a couple battles this year and I look forward to seeing them scrap next year. Robinson won when it mattered most
Ched64 Posted March 25 Posted March 25 He did win powerade and ironman his junior year but certainly not the resume of other freshman champs. Also remember Jakob Camacho had another year of eligibility this year. Not sure if he got hurt or lost a wrestle-off but Vince was ranked quite high all season putting up a bunch of ranked wins.

Expand Camacho got hurt - if they give him a medical for last year, he could be back for season number 8 next year.
Konquest Posted March 26 Posted March 26 He never won state in Illinois. I think he got beat by Lemley in the finals a couple times if I'm not mistaken. He grew up wrestling for the Harvey Twisters. If you know, you know. 1 1

Expand He also got beat out, the match he got hurt in was during his attempt to move up to 133 after Robinson dominated Journeyman and Camacho floundered
Fletcher Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Illinois people knew his potential. Had some unfortunately bracketing and refereeing in high school, so I could see how he flew under the radar.
pawrestler Posted March 26 Posted March 26 This vid of him with Pat Pop that Pyles posted is awesome https://www.instagram.com/share/_jJPNHaky
flyingcement Posted April 4 Posted April 4 https://www.flowrestling.org/collections/6752213-the-bader-show-clips/video?playing=14040846 He comes across really personable and relatable. I had a similar but far less sever story and I'm sure many other former weight cutters do as well. For me it wasn't t-bone steaks though - I ate a few slices of pizza (I know - very dumb) 1

Fletcher Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Didn't even win ACC wrestler of the year. How good could he be?

GreatDane67 Posted April 6 Posted April 6 (edited) Serious question. Does he go back and say he needs more $$? He would break the bank by entering the portal... Edited April 6 by GreatDane67 1

Expand I'm sure the NCSU staff know in this day and age you've gotta get some scratch together and make him whole. Trusting the personal relationship is enough to keep a freshman national champion for all years of eligibility would be a fool's folly. Most kid's aren't like a Parker Keckeisen or a Keegan O'Toole. If they don't put something together they'll be playing a risky game.
Hammerlock3 Posted April 6 Posted April 6 I think he doesn't get talked about much yet because Ventresca, whose reputation never really solidified, had his number. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
Leg rider Posted April 6 Posted April 6 It probably also has to due with the fact that 125 has been choas the past few years and it just seems a little more presumptuous to assume anything at that weight recently
