"A" up until middle school, "B" after that, but obviously it's everyone's individual choice. Ben Askren is arguably the best club wrestling coach in the country, and those guys pride themselves on kids who didn't do anything big as youth wrestlers going on to earn college scholarships. Play a bunch of sports as a kid but if you want to be great at wrestling, fall in love with it as a kid, and then start the high level competition grind at age 11-14 (early adolescence) if they're ready for it. The big trophies from the kids' national tournaments where you see psychos screaming at kids and 6 year olds cutting weight don't mean squat in the grand scheme of things.

Ian Miller was like a kid who only hit the cool looking homerun moves, but then when he made it all the way to the top level of college wrestling with that stuff, coaches have to re-think what they call "junk moves". Dylan Ness is probably the only wrestler to get to the level he did without learning how to sprawl. I'm going to throw out a name to discuss: Tony Davis. He, Drew Foster, and Parker Keckeisen are the most recent modern era NCAA champs from UNI, but something that made Tony's story different is that he didn't wrestle his senior year of HS and was caught up in Chicago gang lifestyle, which was WAAAY worse in the 90's. JUCO and Mark Manning helped him turn it around and win a natty. He was considered one of the best kid's wrestlers in IL history and I don't think he lost at all through youth, middle school, and his first 3 years of high school. He lost in the IL state final to Reggie Wright as a junior (one of the best HS matches ever), and his life completely spun out of control after the loss.

It sounds like he had flower and not vapes/carts. A tiny little jar of today's nugs will stink up an entire room, much less a car. In terms of marijuana consumption, smoking flower is absolutely the least discreet way of going about it. Vape pens and especially edibles barely have any odor that a human (K9 might be different) would notice in a routine stop.

I never thought I'd see the term "Head Stash" on this forum. However, I did have to laugh at the quoted post above where the dude said a cart costs $5. They come in 1/2 and 1 g and are like $30-60ish, respectively, in the Chicagoland area.

Rumors (and I really, really, want to stress that they are rumors) are that Jake Paul and Dana White contributed financially, and the Tate brothers offered and may have been politely turned away (probably not the best look for a guy whose business is educating children to take money from sex traffickers).

He said it was a short guy so I'm assuming he's talking about Cole Matthews...

Kyle Connell?

Can Ono hold 133 for a whole season? If he goes 141, I could see him beating Mendez but losing to Hardy.

I remember him well, fast as lightning and could go upper body or attack the legs. I follow IL HS wrestling somewhat, and using the clues of a state and Fargo champ with a career cut short due to injury, Brill was my guess...

Bryce Brill?

Hardy is very, very tough to prepare for in either Folk or Freestyle. Similar style to Seth Gross, who coincidentally he beat earlier in a 30+ point match.

Rules matter. Burroughs' double is borderline unstoppable because it typically results in 2, 4, or a pushout for 1 and is low enough to avoid getting jacked up in underhooks or with a single in the air, which would greatly favor Satiev's skill set. No pushouts and 1 pt takedowns would favor BS, pushout and 2 pt. takedown favors JB.

AWA has 7 satellite locations in Wisconsin Lake Country: Ben/Mateah Roehl Mequon/North Shore: Max/Lauren Louvie Madison: Pat Spray South Shore Mafia: Wade Hodges/Jordan Newman Green Bay: Josh Wagner Central Wisconsin: Weston Wichman Fond Du Lac: Wilder Wichman

It's not that people don't give AWA credit, it's that lots of people outside of Wisconsin assume Ben Askren is all these stars' primary coach. There are several AWA locations throughout the state with great coaches at each site. Obviously Ben is the public face of the business, but Max and many other coaches had a hand in developing these athletes from a young age. Ben would probably be the first to give credit to these men and women.
