  1. Good point. The stuff a guy like Gross or Askren does is much more duplicatable for the average Joe.
  2. And here you see my reading comprehension skills lacking LOL. I will now divert to say that Rhonna Gross is an ideal candidate because she brings Seth with her!
  3. Yes Gross is from Minnesota. The question was not who do you think that grew up in your state would elevate the youth wrestling scene in the state though but rather who would be the ideal candidate. Since Gross was the only national champion that SDSU has had I think he would be a great candidate to grow the youth wrestling scene in SD. On top of that, his wife is a very accomplished wrestler herself and grew up in SD.
  4. In South Dakota the answer is probably either Logan Storely (4xAA, 6x SD state champ, Belator interim champ) or Seth Gross (only national champion for South Dakota State). Gross is currently in ND running the Matpac wrestling program and I would love to see him move down into SD! Storely is still fighting and living in FL so that seems like a pipe dream at this point.
  5. I think you have Melvin Miller mixed up with someone else. He is a sophomore and has not committed anywhere.
  6. Probably thought he had a chance to win at 92kg seniors.
  7. I’m pretty sure they are very close in age. Hamiti came to college young and went 4 straight years
  8. Thank you sir
  9. What time does the senior men’s finals start at? CST
  10. Add in Aden Valencia and Aedon Sinclair to young semi finalists.
  11. I think Endene is going to fair better at 197 lb than at 213lb. Laird was 6th a couple years ago with a 23-4 record..
  12. Welsh has elite hand fighting but needs to add another attack or two. He has that outside step swim hi-c but not a whole lot else.
  13. 61kg, right? and then 57 has LL
  14. A lot of action in that match!
  15. Yianni has filled into 70kg nicely
  16. Assuming he is what you just described, that is not a black hole for Rutgers but moreso a serviceable starter.
  17. Gibson could surprise some people at 125. He had a solid redshirt year at 133 losing close matches to Leete and Berginc at 133. He was a high recruit that fell due to injuries in high school.
  18. Good analogy and correct. Typically D2/3 guys are gonna struggle against D1. Endene did make the U23 team last year (albeit there were not any top D1 guys in the field) so he is not your typical D2 champ.
  19. Big downgrade for Iowa to go from Angelo to Anthony.
  20. Correct. Gunderson was our U23 world team rep last year. Here is the placements at U23 world team trials. 86 Kilograms 1: John Gunderson (Panther Wrestling Club RTC) 2: Lucas Cochran (Nittany Lion Wrestling Club) 3: Reece Heller (Pittsburgh Wrestling Club) 4: Dylan Fishback (Wolfpack Wrestling Club) 5: Maximus Hale (Pennsylvania RTC) 6: Brayden Thompson (Cowboy RTC) 7: Donnell Washington (Indiana RTC) 8: Leonard Pinto (Nebraska Wrestling Training Center)
  21. I think that most people had Mirasola or Merrill as the U20 97kg reps for the USA last year and then it ends up being Rademacher vs McDanel in the finals with Rademacher winning and representing the USA very well at worlds. I expect him to take a leap forward next year.
  22. Strickenberger was 4-4 at 133 last season and none of the the losses were to 2025 NQ's. He did beat Fuggit, albeit Fuggit at the end of the year was a much different guy than the beginning. Will be interesting to see how 133 goes this year.
