Dark Energy

Or a non sumo wrestler. What I particularly enjoyed was Desanto after the first step out …

Desanto is such a tool…. LOL

Quincy Monday getting himself noticed!! Up 10-2 on Berger in the first.

2029? The way things work today need to give him until 2032.

Hate to say it but .. ‘yawn’ This drama is overplayed.

Watching the Yogi Berra documentary on Netflix. Good stuff. Actually has a short interview with Hudson Taylor regarding Yogi’s support of LGBTQ athletes. Impressed that Hudson has such a leadership role in the community.

Good stuff. A good indication of great wrestler development by these programs.

I’m seeing posts that suggest (what I think are) incredible High Schooler wins in freestyle vs college studs. That is awesome. But curious about folkstyle wins by high schooler against the very best college kids. Are some of those mentioned above folkstyle wins?

Antitroll = Troll. Perfect example of being called out for over the top BS trolling (next Burroughs / Snyder) and then deflecting and crying about being called out for being over the top. Even quotes my post providing criticism of Yianni and cries that we don’t let people criticize Yianni. Can’t make this stuff up. Acts like an A$$ and then whines when called out for it.

Well that is confusing. Palmer that good? Blaze wiped out after Ramos win? Ramos actually kinda not feeling well? Or weird stuff happens sometimes?

U17 world champ this year. Class of 2025 for High School. Kid is YOUNG! Wow. Again. Have anyone heard of this kind of performance? Any HS kid beat a #1 ranked college guy?

TD in SV!!! 4-1!!! Marcus Blaze - HS kid beats #1 college ranked kid. Wow!!! Ever heard of such a a thing??

So, while the setup of this thread is stupid and speaks to antitroll’s actual troll character …. I will say that Yianni is an incredible scrambler and fun to watch, but he isn’t so good that he should rely on that and he doesn’t have the tool box that some other guys have. Wish he would learn some more technique. He is not #1 in US now and I had been hoping (not sure I can say expecting and I never predicted) he would create some separation from the US field by now. May the best wrestler win the spot for the Olympics … and get us qualified!!

Wow. Go Navy! Looks like Ruth was taken to SV by someone I haven’t heard of. Hmmm.

Ok … please find one shred of proof that he was talked about as the next Burroughs or Snyder. That is complete BS. You are trying to build a straw man that will allow you to look cool tearing down. Pathetic. Yes, many thought he was the best chance to medal at 65. A brutal weight class. He actually did medal at 65.

So clearly an admitted hater. At least you are clear about it.

Thanks for this too! What about looking at those ranked mid pack on the board? How many by team and how many AA’d?

@Wrestleknownothing - great stuff. Real value add. Thank you. Have you done this analysis at the team level to help bring data to the ‘good vs bad at development’ question? I see a version of it in another thread. Focus was top 20 wrestlers. Curious to see you blow it out. For example - team had X number of 50 to 100 ranked guys and this is how many of them AA’d. Thanks again.

Anyone have a video of Nahshon’s loss by fall?

Just want to give some props to our host. Team has been pumping out content. Decided to pay up for a year and check it out. Not disappointed. Keep it up boys!

No 2020! How could I forget. Thanks for all the work here. Very cool.

Well, then that is 11 years. Please remove 2013.

The middle of campus is freaking beautiful. Middle of nowhere? I have a different definition for that.

Lehigh wrestling has a great history. For me a good reputation. But I’m feeling like they aren’t landing big enough fish. What is the “vibe” at the high school level? How are the recruits thinking of them?

Looks like Ohio State is clearly top 5 … strong case for 3. And yes OKState … I do admit to a recency bias! Data tells a story that I didn’t recall. All good. For past 10 yrs strong case for top 5 even if have slipped. Michigan on the other hand seems to have good momentum. Cornell and Mizzou … also options for top 5.
