Konquest

Scott Coleman of Iowa State defaulted to Mocco on a restart when he could have won via disqualification.

I was going through the rankings and looking for Polish names. He isn't ranked anywhere so he slipped my mind.

Anyone have suggestions for the 3 open roster spots on the Polish lineup? Yaroslav Slavikouski graduating really hurt us... 125: Brzozowski (Harvard) 133: Motyka (Penn) 141: ? 149: Wasilewski (Penn) 157: Rozynski (Lehigh) 165: Filipowicz (Army) 174: ? 184: Wojcikiewicz (Stanford) 197: Zurawski (Rider) 285: ?

Yeah he is. Cesar Alvan (3rd last year at 165), too. Those two plus the Nebraska athletes all compete under the Brazilian flag in international competitions. I had to confirm some of these because a lot of college wrestlers have BJJ careers, but obviously not every Latino/Latina wrestler who does jiujitsu is an actual Brazilian, LOL.

Dr. Bryan Snyder went 4/5/2/2

Yeah, no. "Dieringer" is the best wrestling name. Someone asked about Brazil....Nebraska has 2 on their roster who compete for Brazil internationally: Marco Christiansen and LJ Araujo.

Also, I thought that Coon had the best hit list of a non-champ (Nelson, Gwiz, Snyder) until I saw Sebastian Rivera's resume. I don't know how you could argue with actual data that Seabass is not the best non-champ. Unreal.

The closest match Cael had in college was Damion Hahn right out of high school. 4-3 win at the UN Omaha tournament I believe. Many long-time fans of the sport will tell you that Hahn is STILL the best upper weight HS wrestler ever, particularly on his feet. A guy who won 2x NCAA championships and people will say that was a disappointment considering how awesome he was coming out of HS. He had to be struggling making 184.

Sam Hazewinkel, Daton Fix, and Adam Coon immediately come to mind.

Gabe Arnold. Ultimate team player and advocate for Mental Health. Truly inspirational, even though he's a Hawkeye, LOL.

You seem to have forgotten about a national champ and 2x finalist who beat both #8 and #9 last year...

A few years ago, but Ian Miller. It was like a dude who only practiced the coolest most spectacular moves.

Alex Dieringer also falls into this category, and he was one of the best college wrestlers of all time.

Good one!

Those guys had great seasons the years they won but IMHO to be considered in the convo for best 1x champ, you're looking at minimum 4x or 5x AA's who were 2nd or 3rd in the other years. Duane Goldman is a great example but a little before my time.
