Vince Robinson

[BuckyBadger]

Not much chatter about him. Freshman NCAA champ who I think was the 50th rated recruit.

Most freshman champs would betting their own “Potential 4 timer” threads.

I don’t know much about him. I’m sure he was good and maybe a bit under the radar coming in, but surprised there isn’t more discussion about him.  Maybe one of those guys that just made leaps once he got to a good college room.

Clutch beyond his years.  Should be a multi-time champ.

He’s 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

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.

Camacho got hurt - if they give him a medical for last year, he could be back for season number 8 next year.

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.

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

Illinois people knew his potential. Had some unfortunately bracketing and refereeing in high school, so I could see how he flew under the radar.

This vid of him with Pat Pop that Pyles posted is awesome
