Hilton Head Joe

Rumors are Sealey in going to Portal? I watched that kid beat Mesenbrink twice in High School. I know he must not beat him now but someone is gonna get a high AA pick at 165. Who is most in need there?

Agree wasn't looking at it as if Dan grew up now with all the modern training advantages these kids have now

Also I had my son watch some of Dan Gable's matches. He said he looks like a solid mid level state champ in high school. Kind of like the 72 Dolphins....would get blanked 65-0 by the Eagles, Bills or Chiefs and I am being nice.

Dan Gable would struggle to All American. These kids are waaaay better now.

Isn't a monopoly illegal? Really where does he fit? They have world champs like Sealey as backups. Some of these guys have to transfer right? If so who? I was a PSU fan but no more now. This is not good.

10-4 saw them last night. Thank you!

What has happened? I have got a couple of coaches not going to make trip now. I get it. They don't want to waste their time and money without a list. We subscribed to mat scouts and that only has top seeds. This is the biggest event for high school but is a major travel problem for a lot of people. We are asking other coaches.

World champ/ who's #1 champ Joe Sealey still at PSU? If so could he challenge Haines at 174? He had wins over Haines and Mesenbrink pre-college.

Tournament starts in 3 days. Was going to take some coaches to watch and recruit. Is there a wrestlers list anywhere? Just making sure I am not missing anything. Been coming to this event a long time and the list was always out way before now. I subscribed but it only has the seeded wrestlers.

Sorry I wasn't around for the themat.com. What happened to that forum?

Are they still thinking about adding weights or a weight?

Yea I would take Gwiz over Varner. Gwiz over Taylor?

Varner still beats the PSU 197. So the finals would be Taylor vs Varner. Taylor wins cause he just won a world bronze.

IS Correa going 197 or heavy in college. I see Cornell has a blue chip full size heavy in next years class. He looks like he could go either! Very Kyle Snyder like!

My gosh that is confusing! Thanks for explanation!

Thanks so it's opt-in by school or by conference. Cornell could opt-in but Princeton not?

Will the Ivy league and other smaller D1 conferences be affected by this. Like the 30-man roster limits being proposed?

I think Blaze is better than anyone is HS and wherever he goes it will be an earthquake. He could be our next Gable, Cael type if he continues to get better. Please for the love of everything that is good anywhere but PSU.

Like why would Harvard have it and not Yale?

Really there is rumblings that they are looking at it. But my gosh they surely could afford it and this year is the launch of the new ivy league conference! So it is just 100% political?

I was thinking them as well. With all these conferences changing like the Ivy League it is a ripe time to add a program or two to make the conferences even.

With the new Ivy league conference will Yale and Dartmouth add wrestling?

How? He was the poster child for clean living!

Not saying some top guys don't ever choose elite schools but the atmosphere is surely noticeably different. I it honestly felt like a middle school dual at this Ivy. Some like Knox are thinking beyond their wrestling careers. But as we are hitting all these schools that really stood out to me.

Question for these boards. Me and my son have traveled to 17 schools so far for visits. Kinda references the Bo Bassett stuff and him eliminating Stanford kinda early. That only leaves three Elite schools. AF, Princeton, Cornell. I see why top guys or even guys who want a normal college experience don't go to schools like Stanford. I went to a match at an Ivy we were looking at and it felt like we were at a middle school match. Then we went across the river to Rutgers and attended a match there-felt like an event at Olympics. Is this why top guys or even decent guys don't chose elite schools?
