You go to Illinois!!!! Hopefully they start having the virtuous cycle where RTC results begin to pay off with college recruiting wins. If they can get the Warners, Woods, Gomezes, Cassiopis, etc. to stay home it wound pay big dividends. 4 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kannon Webster was a big get and a step in the right direction. Coaches have to produce. Wish we could've found a way to keep Davino at home. 1 "Look good, feel good, wrestle good." - J Jaggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of river access for outdoor activities. I can’t complain at all! Being from the Chicago area I never heard a lot about what Cincinnati had to offer, but my wife is from here originally and the more we visited the more it grew on me. Couldn’t be happier!

Konquest Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 They have two hammers coming in Braeden Scoles and Chris Moore who will make a nice 1-2 punch at 165-174 sometime in the future. Moore is pretty underrated nationally...I've seen him quite a bit and he's right there with the best high schoolers at 170. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1032004 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Does Braunagel even train a lot of Greco? I like him, but his best NCAA finish is R12. Is he not evidence that some of our #2-4ish guys on the freestyle ladder would likely have success in Greco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are much more inconsistent in folkstyle at the NCAA level than international styles. Illinois RTC has established itself as a great greco shop with Brian Medlin leading the charge. Kamal Bey, Max Nowry, Ellis Coleman, Tanner Farmer, the Braunagels, and now Luke Luffman (4th at the US Open) are all resident athletes and becoming/ are household names in the greco community. 2 i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandolphTJones Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Illinois is my 2nd favorite team in the BIG 10 after Ohio State. Always seem to turn out good dudes and I always liked Coach Heffernan and current coach Mike Poeta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
