Military veterans with NCAA titles?
VeryOldFormerGrappler replied to AgaveMaria's topic in College Wrestling
Jones was very good. I was ahead of him at the Sun Devil Open Finals with less than 30 sec left and he hit me with a mind-boggling fast double leg TD to win the match. Very good person too. Wish he could've lasted much longer as the Eastern Michigan coach. -
InterMat Forums v. Ban Basketball

Nailed it with the bolded statement. I also agree that Poeta needs to continue to pick up the ball on top-tier Illinois HS recruits that his predecessor dropped consistently.

Despite the quality of their respective current rosters, it would still be cool to see two former Okie State teammates/now head coaches (who I have a lot of respect for) square off .

Top Programs... that are gone
VeryOldFormerGrappler replied to AgaveMaria's topic in College Wrestling
It's been nice to watch the number of D2 & D3 programs being brought back (especially with a combo mens-womens program). Hoping that some of the big revenue sports TV and internet contracts $ can trickle down to the non-revenue sports and bring some D1 programs back. -
As far as a former natty champ who enjoyed an amazing growth trend throughout his HS & college career was Jon Llewellyn (may he R.I.P.) He began HS as a 98 pound freshman. He finished HS as a 167-pounder. He began college as a 167-pounder (if I'm not mistaken). And ended his career as the NCAA HWT National Champ, defeating Kurt Angle.
