It's possible they don't need help (maybe personal & university insurance), also possible they don't really know what they are facing yet. Maybe we need to wait a bit, see how it plays out and what they need. Hopefully all goes well and great medical care.

Glad they are mixing in the Little Rocks and Lock Haven's of the world.

We’re making the trip. Had a great time at the event in New Orleans last year.

Sammy had a second surgery this morning and is still in serious condition. Someone close to the family has said he expected to have a full recovery. An 11 year old boy witnessed the shooting. No one has been arrested. Flo has an article on there page.

9lbs in either direction, and she'll have 6 months from the U23s in October until the trials in April. She's already lean, also carrying impressive muscle mass. Our depth at 76 makes me hope you're right. Also, the fact that she didn't move this year indicates that she's at least considering going down. Given her age, muscle mass, and style of controlling ties, it appears to me that bulking up would be best for her. Her leveraging techniques and superiority in lateral positions will be just fine at 68 where they're a little scrappier than 76: Tie up with her, she wins. Attack her legs, you lose.

Prayers for Sammy. Hope he is in recovery with the support he needs. Let’s catch this son of a bitch.

The Brakeman reports were always a great read and wealth of information. You can still find them online... a couple of my favorite reads were his take on Shawn Nelson, North Royalton, Ohio (now the coach at Findlay College) and Luke Fickell, now the head football coach at Wisconsin. If you are ever bored, pulled a couple of these up for your reading enjoyment....also a great learning experience. Fadz http://www.ovaecwrestling.com/2010/2008_brakeman.htm

You're not wrong. Especially for Toledo. They hosted more World Cup tourneys than anyone. Close to two decades.

Brakeman, the freaking OG of amazing HS analysts.

You are doing a great job. I applaud your efforts.Are you familiar with a gentleman from Ohio named Brian Brakeman?

I personally think that many of these aren't super well thought out, but, oh well.

Fun batch of teams going this year.

I swear I do not mean this with an intention to bring all the Iowa and PSU fanboys together to once again run their mouths at each other... I know they will all show up anyway, but here goes...

My goodness. This woman needs more discussion. She just wiped the mat with other women in her age group (U20) … not surprising since she is already world champ at U23 and the big show - seniors. Very very rarely a close match. Need some pros to give insights on her style. Also, is she going to challenge Gray for the Olympic spot?

We knew the day when the Brakemen Report was due. We would stay and practice late just waiting on the fax to come out. He's a legend in Ohio. He mentioned me once. I'm kind of a big deal.

Some thought good some thought bad..

meyer wrestled his whole life. he didn't compete a ton. and, in his first year at Fargo he DNP'd. which is why, when i said in my Cadet Trials two years ago that he was a lock, people lost their heads. he's been a prodigy since middle school.

@Fadzaev2 you gave yourself away on the old forum in the early topic discussions…

Good idea. If you find out of one please post on here. I'm sure everyone would help out.

No, but I've visited the area! Including to watch the Ironman.

No argument there....great teams at that time!

Is there any place we can go to offer financial support? A GoFundMe or anything of the sort?

Can't take his skills away from him, for sure. Among, if not the best 125 pounder I've seen.

They didn't hesitate to put Lock Haven and NC State on the same side of the bracket either. Some bad blood between Noto and his old team. Will be fun to see that one with him and Camacho.

Thanks for the update. That is really good news.

Prayers up for another PA boy. Hope he recovers and wins it all this year.

He was training in Japan for a little bit a few months ago with Yui Susaki and wrestlers at the college she graduated from. He also met up again with his ol' buddy, Otoguro and trained at another university.

scary stuff. glad to hear about the latest updates regarding his stable condition. keep fighting, Sammy!

You may take the 5th.

We're definitely veering off from the OP. But I do think that's what we do best.

No Steely Dan? I know you all just played a Steely Dan classic in your head like Josie, FM, Reeling in the years, and smiled, then said “no! studio band,”

It's interesting that she wants to compete in Junior, U23, and Senior again this year. Good for her, though. Why not travel and win more? I like watching her hands in ties. She must have incredible strength to control those ties as a teenager, but the levers she creates and cranks are fun to keep track of. I'm guessing her jiu-jitsu and judo experiences are in play here.

@MPhillips I thought it was sacrilegious for an Ohio college to drop wrestling. My buddy's dad wrestled for Toledo, when they still had a program.

What will famous wrestling-based blockers like Mineo and Pyles do? This could be an existential crisis.

The Clash The Rolling Stones The Who The Replacements The Police After reading that list I feel like I should add The The

Unfortunately, and, as you likely know, by the 30 percenters he was lumped in with Fauci, in terms of his knowledge of epidemiology and virus spreading.

Koll went to UNC and won an NCAA title there, that would be the wild card.

We should have a separate category for just bands to be fair.

Didn't they compose the pieces?

Lol Cunningham isn’t giving up training world champions to coach at UNC Kolat would be fine, probably a notch below where UNC is today to be honest. But Ramos is already there. If they do him dirty then he’s probably gone and that recruiting pipeline is going to dry up real quick. I heard he doesn’t mess with double-crossing liars.

Let me try some imagery re-scripting of Temple Owls for you... you're welcome.

Really just depends on how you want to skin that cat. From an individual success standpoint, Coleman has been awesome. O’Connor is the best thing at UNC since TJ in the 90s. We’ve also had 3 all Americans pretty much every season and McNeil shows a lot of promise. The negative is from a team perspective, UNC has gotten worse every year. The team has had the same holes in the lineup for years now (125, 165, 197, 285 haven’t been competitive weights in years and recruiting hasn’t addressed it). We’ve been passed comfortably by NC State, VT, and Pitt making us the 4th best squad in a conference with only 6 programs. I’m just not the guy that’s going to use a post about our coach leaving to poo-poo on the weaknesses he’s had over the years lol. So yeah, hate to lose him and wishing him the best.

Katie Hnida was NOT in the NFL. And is this an AI bot I just replied to?

U. Cal. Davis had the NCAA outstanding wrestler award winner (who is now the head coach at Cal Baptist) but the school dropped wrestling soon thereafter, close to 2 decades ago: https://cbulancers.com/sports/wrestling/roster/coaches/derek-moore/462 Encouragingly enough, Coach Moore is now based where wrestling shows & movies have the potential to be made more often, and where the '28 Olympics will be held. In other words, he is now well positioned to help our sport survive at the college level and hopefully gain a renewed Olympic bid after its current one otherwise expires around 2028 in Los Angeles.
