What good is making the team when he would have to give up the spot immediately anyway bc he needs surgery then months of rehab

I usually root for him he’s a pretty incredible story but I have a hard time seeing him medal at a world level like I could see Paris doing and Gwiz already has done 2x

I was literally just explaining this to the wife and why it’s such an emotional and awesome moment

Hats off to J’Den Cox on an amazing career , USA upper weights definitely weaker now without him

Na I made this point about JB a few weeks back when the silliness with Starocci and Bo was going on and got attacked for “not respecting the goat” and told to just shut up and show respect and it’s stupid ..I’ve literally rooted for the guy since he wrestled molinaro in the state finals in like 2005 but the cult levels of JB worship are wild to me.. you defended JB as a person , yet your name is the poor wrestler, ironic and JB is the only wrestler I’ve heard of who was charging downright offensive amount of money to do camps while at his peak ,maybe it’s gone down since he started losing to Dake a few years back but the prices were through the ceiling I will point again before being labeled “a hater” or “PSU fan” I'm rooting for JB against Nolf and Dake and hope he wins a gold medal at the Olympics just really triggered by people demanding everyone respect the man

He’s an awesome wrestler but he’s known to be disliked by his peers, that’s always been the case because he’s an arrogant guy and loves himself more then the average person …how am I hater I stated I’ve rooting for him and always have. My point being he’s not that likable of a person and fans can boo all they want and have 0 obligation to respect him …this whole referring to people as “king” is corny as hell , this is America we got rid of that whole king nonsense about 248 years ago

King? What the hell is with the wrestling community and this weird ass JB worship? Like the man is above i’m from nj and been watching and rooting for JB since we were in high school but damn atleast 50 percent of the wrestling community demands everyone respect and bow down to this guy and it’s ridiculous. Yes he is a great wrestler but he is also an A-hole if people wanna criticize or boo him I don’t see a problem. But all this “King” talk or the show some respect stuff is such nonsense

King of our sport? Wtf does that even mean ? JB has had beef with DT, Bo , Starocci and others from penn state and he does some middle school shove to the back of MM head and PSU fans are supposed to cheer ? 3 weeks ago you were probably one of the people laughing and cheering on Ragusin comments about John Smith.. this whole JB can’t do wrong and everyone must respect and cheer him is so weird

Chance got a takedown with 4 seconds left

I made a comment a few months back about if yianni is the most over hyped freestyle prospect in the last decade( flo made it like he was the US freestyle savior and a lot on here justified him suing Zain for a rematch “bc he is the future of weight “) , my point being he loses to alot of other Americans and most of you were ready to crucify me , yet here we are again , yianni losing to another American and not even making the semis of trials

He didn’t need to throw him off the stage but Bradley has always been a D-bag so not shocking

Anyone else find it crazy Max Dean 197 ncaa champ is wrestling Evan wick a 3x placer at 165 ..these 2 had 30 pounds in between them just 2 seasons ago

That’s wild that I don’t remember that , I always liked watching duca wrestle from his paulsboro days , just figured he peaked in high school like most paulsboro wrestlers I didn’t realize all these shenanigans went on…random but he just got inducted in the south Jersey hall of fame the end of last year

Wrong rini , Touché sir

Indiana has definitely had success with Jersey guys in the past , Fongaro had a great year , I really thought he could beat Vombaur and push to AA , and you can’t forget about the legend Taylor Walsh and his wild style

I think it goes beyond that , seems to be something personal with that beef. I saw a post where Corby said none of Stutz best guys like him or speak to him (which might be true I have no idea) but I know that Mike Dessino (RIP) loved the guy so I’m not sure who Corby is referring too. Maybe Matt Moley ? Rich Perry? Some buffalo guys? I haven’t seen any athlete talk negative about stutzman before but who really knows

Rune Lawerence will probably start right away at 197 for West Virginia, 4x Pa state champ 145-7 career record and should be an upgrade right off the bat 197 for WV

100 percent agree

This article came out this morning about the terrible state of Buffalo wrestling with multiple wrestlers coming out and saying the administration is purposely doing it to ditch the program , guys training on water logged moldy mats , just shady and terrible if this stuff is true https://www.ubspectrum.com/article/2024/04/wrestling-team-complaints-2024?fbclid=IwAR2BA9HFm_UcsYDtjAxWa2hl8x8eN1YWUMF2BEOBEPcS3k22vvd05NkLwH8_aem_Afxh_8FeTSc6O-Tjqw7TxTGaUYR9onYzGKtyObxNo8wcs0UcbA9ntEqAhlS92pe0OLk

Gilman completely changed it up once he got to happy valley , watch his flo film he did after he got there, he was walking around in flip flops going to the coffee shops

Not disagreeing with your take on Gilman I just meant he might stop wrestling and start climbing mountains or end up a hippie living in the desert or something else wild and unexpected bc he is just a different kind of cat then most of your average high level guys

They announced the coaching staff and that they are all good to move ahead and start competing yesterday , that’s why I decided to make a post about it

Fills a pretty big hole in the line up for them

I feel like I read or heard an interview where McKenna said he was going to the Wharton school of business when he started training at penn RTC so he probably has a big $$ job waiting I don’t think he goes into college coaching in any full time capacity, Gilman is a weird dude idk if he goes into coaching

Felician University In Bergen County is starting Men and Womens programs this upcoming season , they will be the only D2 program in the state A one time teammate of mine Dale Fava who spent some time at lock haven before becoming a multi time D3 qualifier for Del Val has been named head coach this week. Fava was the real deal back in the day and lost to Jordan Burroughs in OT in the state semifinals Burroughs senior yr , I also watched him pin Pat Mineo in under a minute once lol Fred Santaite a NJ state champ and multiple time NQ for Boston ( you may remember when he knocked off Nickerson the first night of ncaa many years ago ) has been named the assistant coach all and all great news, located in a very talent rich area and coached by local guys I would expect them to hit the ground running and am excited to see what the future holds.
