you are getting me excited at the prospect of a healthy Sasso and a real feel good comeback story. Fingers crossed!

Certainly a possibility, but as an optimist, I think Provo, Knox, Norman, Abas, Stemmet and Monteiro are all day 2 guys at NCAAs and that is points and the possibility of AA. I was more referring to them as a dual team in the sense of their best team ever. People are sleeping on Knox, but having 6 or 7 guys in the top 20 is pretty dang good for them. With Valencia and Cardenas taking redshirts, it sure changes things. A lineup with Cardenas, Garvin and Valencia is a good dual team, especially when you sprinkle in those other guys. Now, I am far less optimistic with the info that NHS67 graciously shared. Program insider?!?

His dad was a late bloomer as well. Matt Monteiro was a beast.

wow, thats big info. who might not be the #1 at that weight?

Stanford should have one of their best teams ever. 125: Provo (good chance to AA) 133: Knox (beast of east champ and 2X NHSCA champ) 141: Aden Valencia (AA threat) 149: Abas (AA a couple years ago) 157: Cardenas (returning AA) 165: Garvin (returning AA) 174: Norman (beat Shane Griffith last year) 184: Not sure 197: Stemmet (3X qualifier) 285: Not sure

thx

Idaho, I saw the Aden Valencia isn't on the stanford website for their roster. do you have any info on him?

I'd say that is a bit high, but even then it is less than 2.5% of college wrestlers.

Exactly. I would guess there are about 20 wrestlers getting more than 1-2K a year off of NIL at the D1 level.

how many college wrestlers do you think get paid? a percentage is fine.

8 AA's would be amazing. Hard to navigate the Big10 schedule with everyone staying healthy and not running in to landmines at the conference tournament. Would like to see another team in the mix with that many points.

Any time I see Keck, I think of the real Keck. RIP.

says the anti white racist who goes around calling high school kids white trash...

Totally agree. Campbell needs to get an attorney and get really aggressive with the admin. We are dealing with bureaucratic scum in the admin layer of athletic departments and they are not very smart, on average. This is the rule of thumb at athletic departments across all D1 universities. A lot of University of Phoenix online MBAs and devry grads. Get a lawyer or 5, threaten to sue for breach of contract, and you'll see a reversal of this terrible decision. For a long time, wrestling has taken the approach of begging to not be cut after a decision like this. Emails, calling campaigns and twitter posting won't get it done. NILs and major conference shake ups have left wrestling in the most endangered position we've been in the 20 years or more. Sadly, I expect to see a lot more of this.

over the last 20 years, they have averaged 3 AAs. I stand by my statement.

thats what I was wondering. I appreciate the real answer flyingcement. Thank you!!

You are one delicate snowflake!! I was wondering why they suck, not asking for your dramatic weird response. Try again little guy.

They will have their usual 2 or 3 good guys and a mediocre team overall.

Illinois used to be good. They have really sucked lately. What happened?

Do you know who Sam Calavitta is? He is the nutritionist who connected TJ Dillashaw with PEDs that got him popped. Here is a photo of him and his client David Taylor. Is it normal for a guy to go from 157 up to 203 lbs of pure muscle? Just asking. If you think Calavitta isn't running a Victor Conte Balco like operation, you are on crack.

legal proof on a message board? you realized I asked a hypothetical - what would you say if I told you.... LOL you are funny.

lol hilarious post. you are drunk on taylor. what would you say if I told you he is a steroid and PED user?

good post.

The fact that people love to hate him doesn't mean unpopular. He gets eyeballs on his name at a rate no other wrestler in the NCAAs does. That means popular, no?

Based on the number of posts about this young man, is it safe to say he is the most popular wrestler in college this year?
