I consider JB our greatest ambassador right now.....articulate, great role model, has his "stuff" together and can express it so well..... Great to listen to!! I don't think I would put him with those two. He's special!!! Another great announcer from past .....Keith Jackson, also I liked Jim McKay.
Wow, I forgot about Charlie Heller....tough dude and then, as I look at it, Joe Gormally (Northern Iowa) placed 4th in Div. 2 in '78, 2nd Div. /4th Div. 1 in '79, and 7th in Div. 1 in '82.......TOUGH WT. CLASS!!!! Thanks for the help!!!
I just did some Googling and found an excerpt from the old mat.com forum which is now closed.....In an article I read, this was the reason Fujita came to OSU....Uetake alerted Roderick of him.

Jul 23, 2021 — And Uetake did lose a match in an Olympic trials to another Cowboy great....Yoshiro Fujita...... GoldenAggie.
I know you're going to say because he never lost, but really???? Over John Smith 6 time world and Olympic champion (consecutively) If I remember correctly, Uetake did lose a match in the Olympic Trials (Japan) to Yoshiro Fujita.....Fujita then competed for OSU NCAA Champion and most likely 2 timer if he isn't seriously injured first round of the 1972 NCAA's and has to default out.
Now that you mention it, how about 1982 177 pound bracket ....one of the most epic matches of all time Mark Schultz.....3 time NCAA Champion Olympic Champion and 2 time World Champion vs. Ed Banach ......3 time NCAA Champion as well as Olympic Champion.
Also in the weight...Jim Scherr Nebraska NCAA Champion and 2 time world silver medalist, Perry Hummel ISU NCAA 4-4-4 and Ed Potokar Ohio State NCAA 8-3 with 151 wins

I breezed through most of the above comments, and maybe it's getting to late.....but and assembly with a demonstration is great......announcements ....if you've already started, you could still make an announcement for weight classes you need to fill. I you could get into the physical education classes and talk to the class....posters can help...even announcements during the lunch hours. Fadz
I was just pointing out what they accomplished in their careers....prior to 08 you had Lang 2nd, Churella 2nd, Palmer 4th, and D. Schlatter 3rd/1st It was an awesome weight class.
