Warm Up Champ

You just ruined my day! Beavs vs. the world! I have faith in Pendleton and company.

I'd bet on Oregon State to finish higher than 20th, where you have them slotted. Legitimate AA threats for the Beavs. 125: Kaylor 165: Olguin 174: Wittlake 184: Munoz 285: McDermott 3 of these guys have already AA'ed in their careers. As a Beav homer I would add more of the OSU lineup to this list. However, I think it would be hard for anyone to argue that the 5 I mentioned above aren't legit threats to be on the podium.

Nice list. Not sure I would include Real Woods on there though.

We are considering JC guys as transfers? It's not like they could have stayed at those JCs and continued to wrestle.

Self fulfilling prophecy! Let's go Beavs. Will it into existence.

Oregon State it is!

Breath of fresh Ayres.

Hoping he is coming home for his last year! Let’s go Beavs!

Oregon currently has 3 with Clackamas, Umpqua, and Southwestern Oregon. There is also talk of Blue Mountain adding wrestling which would push us to 4.

I was in deep on a shot, opponent literally grabbed a handful of my singlet and yanked upwards. My singlet exploded, giving the crowd quite the show as I was wearing a jock strap. The sudden breeze and abrupt jostling of my singlet made me pause. Ended up getting taken down, losing the match 3-5. I stood up and heard the crowd oooh, aaahh, and start whistling. I realized what happened, then just sat down until a coach threw me a jacket. I wrapped it around myself, then scrambled to change into a teammates singlet in the back hallway. Video does exist, but it is probably NSFW....

There are a few Sanders stories in this link: https://henryehooper.blog/witness-post-rick-sanders/ Here are a couple. Morris Johnson’s favorite Rick Sanders story came from his college coach, Buck Deadrich. Apparently Sanders was wrestling in the finals of the AAU nationals, which were being held in Oklahoma. Deadrich said that back then, Oklahoma was “the last and tightest notch in the bible belt” and people who looked like Sanders with their long hair, shaggy beard, peace buttons on his jacket, etc, were not “fully appreciated” in the Sooner State. Rick Sander’s opponent in the finals match was Gene Davis, who was both an OK State alumnus, as well as a clean-cut member of Athletes-in-Action’s Campus Crusade for Christ wrestling club. From the raucous crowd reaction, Davis was clearly coming in to the finals as the fan favorite. When it was time for their match, Davis walked out into the spot-light, and the PA announcer said something to the effect of “Now competing in the 136 lb final, wrestling for the Lord … Mr. Gene Davis!” The crowd cheered long and loudly. As the noise died down a bit, but before the PA announcer could say anything else, Sanders ran out onto the mat, slid onto his knees in the spotlight and shouted “…AND WRESTLING FOR THE DEVIL … RICK SANDERS!” Buck Deadrich said there was a slight, stunned pause, before the crowd rained booo’s down on Sanders. Not wasting time, Sanders promptly took down Davis and pinned him in the 1st period! Another. Another Keith Lowrance story recalls Sander’s legendary weight cutting practices. “At the trials for the Pan American team in Minnesota a couple of us were running when we came across Sanders. He was hiding something in the bushes. I asked him what he was doing and he said, ‘Keith, you always need a plan for weight cutting.’ He went on to say that he was driving around his running route hiding cans of beer every 2 miles. He said that those beers could keep him going for 10 to 12 miles, and at that distance he could lose the 10 plus pounds he needed to make weight the next day. Sanders jumped in his car and went to his next hiding spot.”

Ha! I couldn't quite pull of what Mitch Clark or Cael did. Wrestled him at CKLV and the NCAA tournament in 2000.

Had the pleasure of wrestling Vertus a few times in college.

Brian Shute, Hoover HS 1985. Pretty fitting wrestling name.

What are some of the best names out there in the wrestling world? Example: Andrew McFall of Minnesota State a few years back. Arizona State/Penn State might have had Bubba Jenkins, but Southern Oregon has Bubbles Jenkins! https://souraiders.com/sports/wrestling/roster/bubbles-jenkins/7248

The hard part is that Legend wrestled 165 and Brawley 174 last year

I like your Boone McDermott prediction!!! Let's make it happen.

You could also possibly put Drew Roberts (Minnesota) in there at 157. Drew grew up wrestling with all the Crescent Valley kids, and even won his first state title in HS at Crescent Valley before the family moved to Eastern Washington/N. Idaho.

Yusief Lillie is a Washington kid

Yeah, that is true. Crescent Valley HS in Corvallis, OR could honestly field a decent lineup by themselves in the next year or so. 125: 133: Gabe Whisenhunt (Oregon State) 141: Hunter Eveland (Oregon State) or DJ Gillett (Oregon St commit) 149: Chance Lamer (Michigan/Cal Poly) 157: 165: Brawley Lamer (Cal Poly) 174: James Rowley (Wisconsin/Purdue) or Dash Lamer (Cal Poly) or Legend Lamer (Cal Poly), Jackson Rosado (was at Campbell, but may be done wrestling now) 184: Santos Cantu (Indiana) or someone bumps from 174 197/285: Hayden Walters (Michigan commit) 197/285: Hayden Walters (Michigan commit)

Oregon - We've got some forfeits 125: 133: Jason Shaner (Oregon St) 141: 149: Chance Lamer (Michigan) 157: 165: Legend Lamer (Cal Poly) 174: Brawley Lamer (Cal Poly) *James Rowley (Wisconsin/Purdue) with consideration here? 184: Travis Wittlake (Oklahoma St) 197: Tanner Harvey (Oregon St) 285:

Would Arizona/Valiant Prep be an answer to your question?

So Bormet wasn't actually Bormet?

Greg was actually on the FRL podcast monday of this week. Worth a listen. Never knew that he beat Bormet in college.
