Well he would have a solid record if this were hitting baseballs. But, not so much anything else.

If the kid gets to attend a premier university and be part of a top program I’m sure several of them know what they are getting out of that decision. And I mean the fact the tuitions likely covered by the school since dads a school employee may helps the decision a little. One less scholarship to worry about and you usually get a solid kid in the room. If you get a Blue Chip kid that’s equal to or well above their dad’s room skill level I’d say that’s a more likely scenario to get out recruited.

But I would say that almost always for students who still need some academic requirements filled before entering their service academy academic track rather than to just to get the kid an extra year to mature/lineup time.

Mark my words if the pay is right and he can find an avenue which will short run any testing cycle he will be back for one last run.

I believe i saw Lee was also participating in Poland event coming up. I must have missed the other IU connection that joined the coaching staff. Who was it? But good move for them to help with Central Indiana recruiting.

If you only make it to Nolf’s first match and then decide to stop watching, you may want to continue on through Episode 7. Some paths aren’t always set in stone.

Nolf will have his first round match on tommorows (Fridays) episode. You can find it posted at noon on the UFC Youtube Channel.

Looking at the bracket if Nolf wins his opening bout he will have the #1 seed in the semi-finals.

Jump on over to the MMA forum.

UFC has launched a BJJ Reality show on Youtube to showcase their new BJJ league. I can’t tell for sure but it seems like they maybe pumping out 30min episodes daily for the next week and a half. Finalists of each weight class will be compete for the first championship. Jason got picked to be on Mike Musumeci team. Mike is considered by many the top no-gi BBJ guy in the world, so definitely can help Nolf out with his wrestling-hybrid BJJ strategy. While Nolf is considers a long shot to win the competition it will still be interesting to see how a world class wrestler can adapt to competing against some top BJJ guys.

I see that Indiana is on a none existent Tier someplace.

Habibi has to be up there.

A pick up for the Ohio State I see.

I agree “dirty Greco” (foot sweeps and trips) would be worth considering to create action, but the Olympic issue is that basically turned Greco into a Judo hybrid. And the IOC likes to have distinct differences between the combat sports. We don’t need a reason to dump one of those sports from the Olympic sports.

Well they NIL’ed him because he was going to get TV exposure for a large demographic of men every time McNease was on. Plus, the social media clips that would come from it. Cheaper and more replayed than paying for a single TV ads during March Madness.

Something tells me if this ended up waking the kid up and he’s on a more consistent path then Taylor is fine with how the decision turned out. Hard lessons and fresh starts are sometimes necessary.

Doesn’t Virginia have like 6 classes? Obviously with that wide of a spread a lot of people are getting in.

Brownsburg in Indiana hair completely “Smashed” the single class state tournament with 7 state champions. In doing so their finals results basically would have won them a dual title championship vs the entire state too. Gotta give them some national credit.

Been thinking for awhile a higher value should be put on winning matches, especially against high quality opponents, during the last half of the season compared to the starting half. Doesn’t fix everything but seems like it could bring the rating of wrestlers down who are dodging competition later in the season.

“llegal fist to the back”

Based on the current state of college sports he still have a few years to evaluate/reevaluate that.

Yes but most college kids can’t afford to take that chance considering the court case will likely be tied up for a few years and they only have a limited amount of finances to graduate and move on with their lives.

Most cut programs at least honor their scholarships through an athletes graduation. While CSU isn’t giving out 100% scholarships the % they do give likely means something to athletes that may not be sure of their athletics future.

Be interesting to see what % of the starting line up are portal transfers for the Top 20 teams. I’m not digging into that research/math but if you want to be my guest.
