He got pinned by a Italian guy from Oregon as well

He was what the 26 seed at NCAAs? He wasn’t even in the lineup half the season. This is probably closer to who he really is than a top 5 guy. He beat over seeded Stevo Poulin, Patrick McKee (who sucks front side), Eric Barnett(similar to McKee, better backside and funky) and Killian Cardinale. Great draw, he’s good against funky guys

Ricardo Alcala, Matt Powless, Adam Chalfant, Taylor Walsh were all bigger guys who AA’d late in the Goldman era. They always had good 197-285 guys. The problem Indiana has always sucked for the most part in the 141-184 range.

Just my 2 cents here but IMO Salazar hits the transfer portal after this season. I bet McEnelly is in his league currently. I do think he’s better than Gavin Nelson though, who I think is better than Tabor. I would like to see 184 McEnelly 197 Salazar and Hwt Nelson next year. Otherwise I see Salazar going home to Northern Colorado

Pritzlaff was at Wisconsin the same time as Mac as an athlete. I doubt they haven’t crossed paths

Wrestle Kennedy at 184. This obsession with redshirting guys right away is dumb. He can do well now, wrestle him, he can redshirt later if he gets hurt. Guys are proving to do worse with age. Minnesota wrestled 157 pounder Matt Nagle at 184 in 2003, then he dropped to 157 the next year. Matt Pell AA’d at 184, to drop to 165 the next 2 seasons. I think Kennedy can be rd of 12-16 at 184.

Smith and Bono are both Italian. Smith’s mother is Italian, Bono is an Italian name. Bono would fit in well at Rutgers

There are not many minority head coaches in D1 right now outside of Bono, John Smith and Kenny Monday in D1 right now. Can’t think of others off the top of my head. Would be a bad thing losing another

Your best guys take the weights they want. Everyone else fills in, example is Hoffman at Ohio St

Wisconsin is not good at all. Used car salesman Chris Bono needs to find a new lot. Way underachieving right now

Not really, he’s overrated to begin with. He beat Stevo Poulin and McKee on the front side and we know how McKee does front side. Beat sucked down Barnett and Cardinale on the back side. He ran into a lot of old dudes who cut a ton of weight at NCAAs.

Jacob Meissner was a very underrated wrestler in Minnesota. Won 2 titles as a 200 lb 220. His positioning was always so sound. He wrestled for a non traditional power team so his upside should be good

VTech is alot like Missouri. Top notch dual teams basically every year but lack to top firepower to place high at NCAAs with a lot of guys who are 3-R12 type guys vs finals points

Sounds like my theories are correct

People got off these guys trains a lot earlier. If JO enters at 70kg, there will be posters on here saying he can or will beat Zain. He’s old AF now, mid 30s

The most over hyped and overrated guy we have ever had was Jordan Oliver. Every year something would happen. Suspensions, weight issues and excuses why he would lose close matches. Then every year come trails everyone is picking JO

What big guys well? They have no other hwts in the room, he didn’t wrestle a match last year and was 7-7 2 years ago. He was a good recruit but a lot of Simley guys have came in as close to finished products with less upside because Short is a amazing coach

With Garrett Joles being ranked at 197, it seems the Gophers have 0 plan at Hwt. Joles did decent there last year and the Gophers probably would do decent wrestling Gavin Nelson right away at 197. Bennett Tabor has proven to not stay healthy. No other HWT on the roster for the future, only Gabe Nagle at 197 as another option, no effort in the transfer portal for another body. He’s gotta be coming back 2nd semester or they really think high on Tabor

Why would you wrestle in college vs play football? Wrestling full scholarships are extremely rare, most of the time it’s split. Football there are 85 per team. You can’t just train hard and eat. Wrestling you may have to control your weight. Both will come out extremely beat up on the backside. There is no chance at money on the backend from wrestling unless you aspire for MMA and even so that is the few who make that money and for him he would need to shrink even more. He’s been a 220 since 8th grade. Football, sure it’s a longshot but the payout would be way more. Riley Reiff could have wrestled in college with a similar SD wrestling pedigree as a multiple time champ. He used his skill set and mindset and has made $50 million

What weight do we expect Max McEnelly and Gavin Nelson at? Salazar is at 184 which is McEnelly ideal weight. How is Tyler Wells comparatively to Jake Gliva?

Ferrari and Steveson are 6’0”, Brooks is probably 5’8 1/2. Starocci is a legit 5’10”. O’Toole isn’t a legit 6’, he’s more 5’10 1/2 to 5’11”. Parris isn’t 6’8”, he was listed at 6’2 on his Football recruiting page, no way he’s over 6’4”.

You are one of few. Outside of the occasional Zach Sanders and Brandon Paulson, a lot of these 125’s are Jayson Ness or Nick Simmons sized

He can make 174 after wrestling 182+ since 10th grade?

Location wise it will need to be a Mormon. What is the point of the Associate Head Coach role if they won’t give the job to them? It originally was a prestigious role for only the very top assistants such as Casey Cunningham, J Jaggers, Coleman Scott types who are a head coach in waiting. Now every team has one. I would expect Ethan Lofthouse to get the job

You can’t be posting this with a straight face as all but SVN have done interviews sounding like Joel Osteen
