I wish his wrestling was more exciting at least. His stance when he’s actually standing up is so weird, the wrestling from his knees, letting guys stand up so he can drop to a double, it’s kinda brutal to watch but I guess it works. He did actually get a turn from top in this match though…
-
I think it’s noteworthy, considering he wasn’t even wrestling an opponent that could actually challenge him, and you know people are gonna be looking for reasons to criticize him which this will give them

-
The fact that everyone knows he won’t be wrestling isn’t the issue with why he’s not ranked?

The Iowa linebackers coach confirmed Cassioppi isn’t expected to wrestle this season
-
I mean I wasn’t studying them, but he did look smaller to me in the Iowa photos than others he’s posted in the past few months
-
This you, @ILLINIWrestlingBlog? good watch
-
Yup. The other guy (uncle I presume?) in particular’s t-shirt is definitely cringe. I also got a kick out of “bag secured”
-
AJ is not on a roster.
-
He does not yet appear to be enrolled. But I don’t see why he would have just cut 20 lbs or so if he wasn’t expecting to wrestle this season

Which of Gomez and Cassioppi is an NCAA champ?
-
I don’t think they did. Gomez isn’t suspended. You bring some good discussion, but your trolling (and obsession with calling out whenever someone says Stevenson) gets annoying.

-
Outside of the obvious, he’s been on the roster and not starting. Gomez was just added.

How many of the kids were there on the boys and girls clubs scholarships, and how good were they?

He’s on the roster https://mgoblue.com/sports/wrestling/roster

Don’t they need to have an Italian grandparent or something to be eligible?
-
You’re grandstanding

Yes this was brought up earlier, I’m just skeptical wrestling teams are getting much of that scholarship money
-
Correct but haven’t football and basketball also been majority minority for awhile? I have no idea, are a high % of the players on private school football and basketball teams on scholarships and how does that compare to the % of wrestlers on scholarships on private school teams?
-
Not necessarily but I’d say odds are yes Edited: maybe not “wealthy” depending on your definition, but at least upper middle class
-
I do care what you think, but if you’re not interested in sharing your thoughts with the entire board after making declarations that certain actions are racist, no I don’t care to ask you privately
-
Agree, however it does seem that wrestling, particularly at the elite level, is becoming more and more of a "wealthy" sport. For example last year 3 of the 10 national champs (including one black one) were products of private high schools. This could be yet another barrier to minorities achieving success.

So are we expecting to see AJ wrestling at Soldier Salute?
