I don’t think Garland leaves he’s A Virginia guy , I don’t know if Nickerson would leave for a place it’ll be harder to recruit at , plus he’s just finally building northern Colorado up

Damian Covington was a state champ from Overbrook HS in NJ , same hs as Ron dayne , he beat at the time immortal Pat Lynch who was 2x returning State champ who was on a 99 match win streak ( lynch was a multiple time AA for ASU), beat him twice in 2 weeks then played football at nc state but his JR year Sylvester Terkay was injured for nc state and the coach asked Covington to filled in and in 3 matches he went 3-0 all while practicing for a bowl game, he then was a 3rd rd pick for the bills, having 3 good years before tragically being murdered in a robbery at his cousins apartment back in NJ , he was home to rehab a knee injury , guys is a south jersey legend … also Josh hokit recently from Fresno state was on the 49ers for a bit

Tough break for Duke he was far and away the best guy on the team and also what a great story neisenbaum had , went from 3-21 as a freshman to 25-6 last season

It’s going to be a long year for the blue devils and who the hell knows what happens when the ACC inevitably implodes

Looking at dukes roster on wrestlestat, they only have 2 seniors , both with limited to no starting experience and the best 2 returning guys were 8-13 and 12-17 last year and they have one intriguing prospect , Aiden Wallace from Bergen catholic but it looks like he’s redshirting …it’s going to be a very long year for duke , they were the 80th dual team out of 80 last year and it’s looking like more of the same

Wow I thought they’d join the SoCon

No not saying heinselman is a bad lose but the loses last year to the Utah valley guy and Gonzales Ohio states back up/3rd stringer give me pause when matching up his potential this year to a healthy Robbie Howard who was the first American to make 3 cadet teams and has been learning in the best room in the world the past 3 years

Also all of Howard’s results are as true freshman during the Covid pandemic and coming off of arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder so he didn’t train that whole summer prior , not to mention he was young and had just turned 18 after he got to college , mchenry results are spread out over 3 years of being in one the best rooms in the country and he was still losing to back ups last season

I read your response , I’m just disagreeing with you , My argument was I think it’s more difficult to give up 50-60 pounds then 10-12 an undersized 125 may give up

I would argue giving up 60 pounds to a man that’s 275 is more difficult to handle than being 120 and wrestling someone that’s 130

Kyle Snyder won 3 ncaa titles wrestling guys 40-60 pounds more then him, Bernie traux weighed 184 the day he took 4th at 197 , wrestling guys definitely weighing in the 200s

Idk if it’s a big if, he finally had the surgery he put off for years then had over a full year to recover , he’s also a 3 time cadet world team member and world champ , and a top 15 ish recruit to penn state idk see how McHenry is the better wrestler by any standard Mchenry lost to Ohio states 3rd stringer and Utah valleys starter last season

Idk he seemed pretty beat up physically last year and this is his 6th straight year competing? And he transferred, history says no , but if his body’s right I’d give him a shot at 125 it seems pretty open

Howard did more then mchenry in one season with one arm lol if Howard stays healthy he’s top 4 this year and has a legit shot at winning it

Eierman announced he was going to Iowa a day before he was officially in the portal

Yea I noticed that too it was nice to see in the cesspool world we live in nowadays , got to admit though once I heard he was better and going to make a full recovery the try to rob Vince Turk or Ferrari jokes we’re running through my mind

He is super talented, was the number 1 guy in NJ all year then ran into Rich Grungo (Lehigh commit) in the semis , who was on a mission and got knocked off but the kid has potential to be an ncaa champ , didn’t realize he was on team Puerto Rico

I believe he was the only person they gave an interview too before handing it over to Bormet , flo was reporting on it at the time ( when they still had sources and broke news)

I know kolat has been in less then ideal situations at Campbell and navy but in reality he’s had 1 AA in 10 years as a head coach , Ramos has been the top on the mat assistant through the best stretch in UNC history I don’t know it’s a given that Kolat is lifting the program higher then Ramos can , and I say this as a huge Kolat fan , one of if not my favorite wrestlers ever , I spent my own money to drive damn near half way across the country to go to one of his camps before my senior yr , that being said I also don’t see him leaving navy , he’s always been a big fan of the military and said he felt honored when he was hired by navy , I could see him wanting to honor the contract he signed

McNeil took 4th , Kane lost first round then wrestled back for 8th , they’ve had a finalist and multiple AAs 3 straight seasons , seems pretty solid for an ACC basketball school

Tony should get the job if they don’t take a step back and keep the train rolling

It’s obviously Cael, he wrestles with Kyle Synder still , or it’s Varner who is scrapping with synder and all those big guys everyday

So random lol, we should send them over to the West Virginia boards, they need as much love and traffic as possible

Conspiracy theory time…What if Jimmy is actually willies burner account , and he’s been coming on here for years just trolling for no reason other then some men just like watching the world burn

I follow a lot of different wrestling boards but got to say I’m impressed that you re out here tracking down info on the Indiana mats board
