    Also surprising that they only have 7.95 times greater conversion rate from resident to division one wrestler than average. There are large states and metro areas that are essentially wrestling deserts when it comes to producing DI wrestlers
  2. Jim L
    Absolutely. There is frequently discussions about what a makes regions so good in a sport. A lot wrestling fans like to talk about how kids from one area are inherently tougher, this is a good narrative but doesn't hold up. The strong ecosystem makes the most sense: tradition, coaching and competition

    New Hampshire's best is probably Eric Bradley who won 2X Big Ten title ands was 2X AA (4th and 8th) for Penn State in the 2000s

    Massachusetts has Rodney Smith - 2X Olympic Greco team member and Olympic Bronze or Elena Pirozhkova with 4 World Championship medals including one Gold

    Since we are talking about the best wrester CO has to be Adeline Gray:

    Middle School Best Ever -> Chance

    Definitely has the Ivan Drago look

    Why do you think there is a cap at Wisconsin? Besides the obvious that there is a cap for every school that is not PSU as long as Cael is there.
  9. Jim L
    Yeah forgot about Suriano. Jenkins gets a little bit of an asterisk because it was Caels first year

    Seems reasonable as I doubt outside a few teams paid attendance does not cover travel expense

    I was thinking the same - Beard and the Nevilles are the only big name transfers I can think of
  12. Jim L
    Sorry, very clever, but it needs to be a bit more obvious for folks like me

    West Virginia?

    Hard not to pick Vito if he comes in free of injuries, after his performance at last years NCAAS and Worlds. He was clutch when it mattered

    Except if they are top ranked recruits interested in a "academic" school they are recruiting against Cornell/Princeton/Stanford plus Northwestern - all schools with equal or better academics and much better wrestling results. Then they also have to compete with Harvard/Duke/Columbia/UPenn for good recruits the top schools pass on

    Was that just an EIWA rule? Is it still in effect?
  17. Jim L
    You sent me down a rabbit hole looking at old EIWA results. Hopefully their new assistants will lead them to better results than 1985 when they managed to score -3 points! How does a team accomplish that? I remember seeing a few teams getting -1 points at NCAA, but -3 has to be a record
  18. Jim L
    Noted hippy Steve Mocco had an older brother, Joe, who wrestled for Brown and won EIWAs (I think)
  19. Jim L
    They had good teams in the early 90s. With a few top 3 EIWA finishes.

    That's how they knew she was lying

    Fix excuse was that his dad was doping and he drank some of his dad's PED juice by mistake. Didn't he get just a year? The strawberry desert and heart medication seems much more believable... Still not believable but better Fix's story

    +Missouri?
  23. Jim L
    Having up to 6 FR (RS or true frosh), seems like a big stretch to challenge PSU or even contend for #2.
  24. Jim L
    Those are mind boggling numbers to me. Lost of professorships could be endowed for that amount or lots and lots and scholarships

    Wrong thread!
