I was trying to find the old Askren interviews and couldn't find any of the good ones.

They are the only ones in this situation. I don't understand how the parties involved didn't get a concrete determination on whether or not he could compete this season. I also find it hard to believe they would just have an athlete train all year knowing he wasn't eligible and hoping it would go unnoticed. Unless they were told by an incorrect NCAA compliance person that Tyler Brennan was granted a 5th active season, I don't understand how this situation happens. If they were not told he had eligibility, it's seems pretty cut and dry that he competed illegally and should not be allowed to wrestle. If they were incorrectly told that he could compete, then that's where I can see things getting held up, and why it's taking so long to get an answer. Obviously, this would never happen with a true AA contender, or an athlete on to trophy contending team, but I do think the matter should be handled the same as if it were. Letting him compete just because it likely won't effect team standings or the podium is not a good reason to let him compete.

What are we supposed to think about Tom Ryan?
BruceyB replied to Fletcher's topic in College Wrestling
You lost me here. This is an ignorant point of view that ignores the effects of mind-altering substances and substance abuse. I also haven't seen the clip, I have been purely commenting on the person I have seen over the last 15 years. Feel free to message me a link to what happened. I can't even find anything on the internet. -
A natural rivalry? No.. they're a rivalry now because it's pupil vs teacher. The programs have no history, no shared conference, no geographical proximity.

That's the 10 bonus points. 1st placement + advancement = 20 points. 1st with 5 pins = 20 + 10 (5x2 for bonus) that's 30 per wrestler. 60 total. In your previous post you accidentally multiplied the bonus twice to get to 40 total points instead of 20, and then 2 extra advancement points. Not trying to be the math guy here, I miscounted my own dual score prediction a little while back.
-
I could be mistaken but I believe there is no advancement point for winning in the finals. I believe 30 is the maximum amount an individual can score at NCAAs You also included both wrestlers bonus before multiplying. 16 place + 4 adv + 10 bonus = 30 x 2 = 60 points.

You get it now. You didn't get it until someone else pointed it out.

His was take me down for a bitcoin. But same concept. Georgio's high school resume: Won the Ohio state title at 152 pounds as a junior... Won each of his final 43 matches to finish the 2015-16 season 45-2… Was a 2016 Ironman champion at 160 pounds… Advanced to Ohio state championship match at 160 pounds in 2017 before losing in overtime… Finished his senior season with a 43-1 mark… Went 5-1 with two wins via fall to place third at FloNationals at 160 pounds in 2017… Also finished third at NHSCA tournament at 170 pounds in 2017… Placed at the prestigious Super 32 Challenge in 2015 at 152 pounds… Was nationally ranked by Intermat during his senior season. Pretty notable high school accolades.

I would genuinely be curious to see this study. They are going to be a very tough team next year with homegrown talent. -

I'm not even going to dignify this with looking up results to refute your point. Ohio State has done as well of a job developing their recruits as anyone outside of PSU in the last 15 years. -

BruceyB replied to Fletcher's topic in College Wrestling
FWIW I truly believe Tom Ryan is one of the most genuine and caring coaches in our sport. I've listened to enough interviews over the past 15 or so years to know that he has always been extremely consistent in the brand he preaches and his core values. He cares about his athletes, he cares about cultivating meaningful relationships with these athletes, and he cares as much about stewarding his wrestlers towards being good men after they are done wrestling as he does about the on the mat results. Maybe I am forgetting, but I can't think of any tOSU athletes being controversial on or off the mat (other than Tessari who then was removed from the program). I do think he can get animated and throw a fit, but I think that's just more of an embarrassing heat of the moment reaction than a depiction of who he is as a coach, mentor, and man. Obviously this is from the outside looking in, but I think if I were to pick a program purely for the environment that I think would most help my son develop as both a wrestler and a young man, Ohio State would be my first choice given their track record. -
I think in general, for bigger exposure events that are on regular TV, explaining more is better than assuming the fans know what is taking place. If you're tuning into a Flo stream, it's fairly obvious that most of the viewers are going to have a strong foundational understanding of the sport, otherwise they wouldn't be paying for an exclusively wrestling product. But when you are broadcasting to a broader audience, it's nice to have the broadcast explain rather than me having to explain everything to those around me know know less (usually my wife if she stays in the room while wrestling is on).

Keck should not have done the all-star classic
BruceyB replied to Fletcher's topic in College Wrestling
Because haters want to watch Starocci wrestle the most difficult path. That is the only reason. Edit: I do wonder if Keck won the all-star would he have been the #1 seed? It may have actually been more advantageous for him to take a short in an unofficial match than to rely purely on his schedule to secure the #1 seed.
