  1. It's also hard to imagine that offer coming from Penn State.
  2. I imagine Americans would heartily welcome more Russians and Iranians coming to our colleges...
  3. Well to be fair he fell short of winning a NCAA title in his five tries.
  4. America isn’t even the best country for freestyle wrestling though. So why do we assume foreigners would rush to the U.S. to wrestle collegiately?
  5. But speaking English doesn't mean they'd actually be interested in wrestling in America...
  6. He is also extremely short for a projected 133/141 pounder. So was Luke Pletcher, but the lack of length certainly isn't boosting his upside.
  7. 1 is only your personal opinion is 2 true? 3 is true of course
  8. Freestyle, more so than folkstyle, allows a wrestler to literally win without scoring an offensive point (passivity->shot clock-> points). I feel it often leads to results where a wrestler who arguably did less than his opponent can be declared the victor. Also, matches are seldom loaded with pushout points which folkstyle haters claim will boost scoring and action. So do we still want to abolish folkstyle and switch college to exclusively freestyle?
  9. Lots of unsavory behavior by Penn State fans (and wrestlers) this weekend at the Olympic Team Trials. Several Penn State immortals fell (David Taylor). Was this the weekend that finally turned the tide on Penn State for both recruits and wrestling fans generally? Is Penn State now the evil empire?
  10. How would that tag team shake things up if they replaced the Brands at Iowa?
  11. Unless he plans on wrestling 184 or 197 next year at NCAAs?
  12. He seems to be flying under the radar a bit.
  13. Maybe OK State now that there's a new head coach there...
  14. I (and many other people) called this as the obvious move when Scott went from HC of UNC to an assistant at OK State. It made no sense unless he was promised the HC job soon.
  15. I could see him landing at Iowa or Ohio State
  16. Spencer Lee is considered the Iowa GOAT even though he "only" won 3 NCAA titles
  17. Bassett to Iowa and Jax to Ohio State
  18. Looks inviting? https://www.instagram.com/p/C5RBvVHu6ts/?igsh=MWM5MWV4OTVxM2ppMg==
  19. I mean I'm sure RBY is crying himself to sleep every night due to the shame...
  20. Even with being held back, RBY was *only* 24 when he finished his NCAA career. Relatively young compared to all 25 and 26 year old 8th year seniors we have these days.
  21. Even if true, what relevance does it have to anything now?
  22. Brooks has the most pins of the 5.
  23. There may be more points (due to pushouts) but does it lead to more takedowns, backpoints, reversals, etc?
  24. Will it though? Wrestlers who play the edge will just circle back in bounds. And wrestlers may just try to push each other to score points rather than taking shots.
  25. Does a new team rise to the top because they're better at pushing guys out? The obvious thought is Iowa moves up to the top. Does a team that likes to play the edge (Arizona State, NC State) fall down a few spots? Or does not much change?
