Ono won't be at Penn State. The Orange Peril will have ICE pick him up and deport him - since the Prez is now an OSU fan after watching the Airman beat the big bad heavyweight. All the schools with immigrant/foreign wrestlers had better watch out. OSU is lucky Amine is not eligible this year or they might find themselves with him being deported during a lung time out in a match.

Maybe they didn't recruit? If he showed interest, in the climate today they would tell him "This is the Dollar package available". Not necessarily recruiting. More like reality with NIL and paying athletes. After college most wrestlers will never get another dime for their efforts.

Here it is. Bono has lined up the dollars & we know Wisconsin is desperate. The youngest won't come(yet) but the next one will. Double Ferraris in the garage - and Bono looks like a Genius.(as long as he doesn't let AJ drive a car)

He ought to nail your azz to the wall for libel and defamation of Character. Putting crap like this in writing - you deserve it.

Is that better than referring to him as a Richard Head?

Why not, the Bible Selling charlatan and serial liar Donald Trump is playing that game.

Watching him this year was nice. He did not have the size to match some opponents but his technique and hustle won a lot of matches. Will he drop? Should he drop? Or, will he spend time bulking up a bit while trying to keep his speed and endurance? He is still a growing boy so maybe he matures into the weight? Either way he looks like a definite threat to win it all.

There isn't one. Not now. Maybe in the future? The Squawkeyes can only hope.

Will they start with Meyer Shapiro?

He has always seemed like a good coach who really cares about his kids. Works hard for them. A tireless promoter for his team and school. When it is finally time to go I hope he knows it and doesn't hang on like Bucky Maughan at NDSU.

Carlton Haselrig - 7 times.

We saw Dan Gable make history. Maybe it is time for the Squawkeyes to try it again? After all, the Iowa guys who are hired to coach look good and then go flat.

To listen to the wind sweeping down the plain. To watch the waving wheat and smell it when the wind comes right behind the rain. They will find girlfriends and sit alone and watch a hawk making lazy circles in the sky. Compared to Penn State? Who wouldn't jump at the chance to go there?

Coaches. Maybe it is the Coaches? Test Cael because it is obvious. TheTerribleTwins - maybe, but it sure isn't helping. Manning shows it with his hair and crazy sideline antics. Then we have Ryan - probably hooked on them after the Hospital stuff. The power when he throws The Brick!

If he knows who, say who. Otherwise he is tarnishing a lot of wrestlers who don't use.

So far Cael & Co aren't even half way to a tie with Dan Gable and 9 titles in a row. What he is doing puts him at the level of Gable but I don't think 9 in a row will happen for PSU.

Is Ridge Lovett a Mormon? Post Falls, Idaho has a lot of them. His team mate Hardy is and even served a two year Mormon mission.

At least five times. Maybe the Orange Peril will use the Tournament for his PR blasts inbetween getting more treatments to enhance the Orange color? Then he can claim to be a great Oklahoma State University fan - showing school colors?

Yep, God likes one and favors him and makes sure all the others lose?

Quite different from Dan Gable. Dan had a perfect record. Steveson does not. Dan did not win Olympic Gold and then punk out on wrestling at worlds later. Dan never, ever became a sport whore/rassl'n slob for dollars. There is hope for Steveson but he made his own bed.

He is on the sideline while Spratley is wrestling in the Semi Finals - and he is flossing/cleaning/picking his teeth? What, next he'll start brushing them or digging ear wax or picking his nose? Biting into a big slice of Pizza and then giving an interview while chewing? Come on coach - it is nauseating.

Mark Schultz? A few losses in the mix, but not when it was all on the line. Then add in 3 World Titles. One reason I put him up is Schultz vs Banach. Mark went up a weight to knock off Ed Banach who was being heralded as a great 4 timer - before he had won his 3rd NCAA title. From Wikipedia. Schultz was voted by his peers "College Wrestler of the decade" in the book "The Golden Era of Amateur Wrestling: 1980's" by Reginald Rowe. Schultz attended UCLA and went 18-8 at 150 & 158 lbs his freshman year. In the summer of 1979 Mark and Dave Schultz made the Junior World Team, met Oklahoma Assistant coach Jim Humphrey who convinced them to transfer to Oklahoma University. In August, 1979 Mark and Dave Schultz transferred to the University of Oklahoma & redshirted. During Mark and Dave's redshirt year Dave won every tournament he entered while Mark failed to place at every tournament. Mark was unranked among the top 20 wrestlers in the nation until November 1980 when Schultz defeated #1 ranked Mike DeAnna 8-1 in the finals of the Great Plains Tournament in Lincoln, Nebraska. Schultz went from being unranked one week to ranked 2nd the next week. In the following three years (1981–83) Mark won three NCAA titles. Schultz was the NCAA Champion his sophomore year at 167 lbs. He defeated his Great Plains opponent, Iowa Hawkeye senior Mike DeAnna 10-4 in the 1981 NCAA Finals in Princeton, NJ. Matt Reiss, 1980 NCAA Champion at 167 lbs took 8th at 167 in 1981. Schultz moved up to 177 lbs his junior year where he faced another Iowa Hawkeye in the NCAA finals, two-time NCAA Champion (1980, 1981) Ed Banach.[8] Schultz had lost to Banach 4 times before 1982. Schultz said Banach was the best conditioned wrestler he ever faced and saw him run a mile in about 5 minutes. A month before the 1982 NCAA's Schultz defeated Banach 10-9 in the Oklahoma vs. Iowa dual meet at Lloyd Noble Arena. The 2 teams ended the dual in a 19-19 tie. In 1982 the 1980 NCAA Champion at 167 lbs, Matt Reiss, moved up weight which meant there were 4 NCAA titles represented at 177 lbs.[9] Banach was exceptional defeating every opponent except one in the 1980, 1981, and 1982 NCAA's by fall or superior decision. Banach was on track to become the first 4-time NCAA champion in history; however, Schultz won 16-8 in "one of, if not the best, NCAA finals match of all time"[10] and was named Outstanding Wrestler for the tournament.[11] In 1983 Schultz set the University of Oklahoma record for most victories (27) in an undefeated season and was voted Oklahoma University Student-Athlete of the year. In the 1983 NCAA's in Oklahoma City, Schultz defeated Duane Goldman 4-2, the 3rd Iowa Hawkeye he faced in the NCAA finals.

He punked out of Worlds after narrowly winning Olympic Gold. Knew if he went to Worlds and didn't win it would cost him too much money. Now after failing at pro rassl'n & pro football he comes back to real wrestling.

"Last season’s winner Spencer Lee of Iowa and Gable Steveson of Minnesota wound up in a virtual tie" ----------------------------- "virtual tie" is not a tie. It is engineering a reason to elevate one to the status of the other.

Iowa had never won an NCAA title before Gary Kurdelmeier took over. He brought in Dan Gable from Iowa State. Actually, recruited him & got the commitment before ISU made an offer. Then Iowa took off and the rest is history. Cael was at ISU as an assistant coach under Bobby Douglas. Then make head coach. Did well and moved on to Penn State and the rest is history. How much credit for Danny & Cael as great coaches to Gary and Bobby?
