2008 Jake Deitchler 18-year-old from Ramsey, Minnesota, became the first high school wrestler to make the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Team in 32 years

Greco is great, just not in the US. In several countries Greco is the favorable style. Look at the goons that wrestle Greco internationally. countries like Hungary, Russia, Turkey, Romania, South Korea, Japan, Finland, Bulgaria, and Sweden have dominated the sport. We have had 4 world medals in 10 years. 1 silver (Coon) and 3 Bronze 2 of which were won by Bizak and the other by Tracy Hancock. Not much emphasis is placed on Greco in the states because we don't have the experience that other countries do, Greco is an afterthought here. We have great upper body guys here that would do great in Greco. Dake immediately comes to mind, if he came from a Greco background he would be one of the best. The US needs to seek out the likes of Artur Aleksanian or some other studs and coaches to come to the US to show us how its done. We have several Internatalional Freestyle studs living in the US like Belagozov and other but not many Greco guys that I know of.

Blocking is easy. no reason to report.

Starocci said 60-40 he would stay meaning he will be back IMO

i might have booed him after the Mesenbrink match, he smacked the kid in the head. I'm talking about the Nolf match.

Edinboro had no choice, Big Bruce was Athletic Director and had to make tough decisions. The school is failing and there were even talks of shuttering the place without a substantial reorg. Buffalo on the other hand is one of the Flagships of SUNY and has great programs and a Medical College. They are here to stay.

Fair enough, didn't see his shirt, but that is the only thing I saw in the video that was nasty. I heard him getting some praise though and could hardly hear any booing.

There were very few booing him in the crowd, and if you watch the video of his walk out and slow it down like I did I heard several people yelling we love you Jordan, two guys a couple rows up said you are the GOAT, thanks for everything. . This booing bullshit is overblown. One man accosted him in the entrance to the tunnel, the man was an idiot, but who is to say he was even a PSU fan.

Yes, Snyder beat him pretty soundly.

yes reach out to Burroughs when you have Cael, Varner, DT, Dake, Snyder and Gilman in the room.

DERP

i disagree, the chances of making a Freestyle team in the US is one in 10,000. If some of our better athletes and top folk wrestlers focused on Greco we could compete. The exposure only helps. New and casual fans don't care about either too much.

Greco is huge internationally, it would help if we were better at it, when our guys regularly get beat and don't place at Pan AM's, it hurts, the exposure can only help. Watch Asian or Eastern Europe Greco, It's a different product. WFS is growing in the world and women are joining the ranks at a huge rate, In the US it's folk and Free. Womens wrestling may turn off some but it has helped grow mens wrestling in the US, with women involved, schools are deciding to add wrestling, both men and women. Exposure can only help.

FIFY

i rewatched the Burroughs/Nolf ending and Burroughs walk out. I slowed it down, There were some boo's but he wasn't getting booed at least by the folks on camera, You can hear, thank you Jordan and you are the GOAT Jordan until he walked in/near the tunnel and one fan accosted him and he responded. A couple bad apples doesn't make a bad fan base. You people make it sound like it was a Biden rally, That's booing.
