    Any Recruiting News?

    I heard a similar rumor about a middle weight All-American from Wisconsin that is currently not listed on their roster.

    NCAA TOURNEY

    I say simplify everything. Give everyone 6 years to compete in 4 postseasons. Get rid of redshirt, Olympic redshirt, and hardship years. This would also help keep lineups filled since you could spot start and not lose eligibility. It would be a disadvantage to Ivy and service academies, but...

    NCAA Allocations

    Cook is very dangerous. He will try to throw you from anywhere. He especially likes to go high flyer, gator bacon, or pull you up to a lat drop from shot defense. If you have not seen him it is worth finding a few of his matches. He reminds me of Mantanona in that he also gives up some easy...

    Gilbert tournament Saturday

    I stand corrected. Lee did meet the silver allocation level. I think Lee only missed one dual and did not qualify for the RPI.

    Gilbert tournament Saturday

    Another example is David Carr. Why wrestle Carr against an ISU guy. That match could have happened in Ames. This could also have been an INJ default. Carr does not need an AQ to make Nationals. He will go no matter what. Dresser had Carr wrestle so the conference received an extra spot. Last...

    Gilbert tournament Saturday

    I agree with Dresser. Prior to Saturday, despite dealing with mono most of the season Coleman never missed a meet. Over half of his matches were against top 20 guys including the #1 at both 174 and 184. He is a returning national qualifier who was ranked all season. Despite all that, the...

    Gilbert tournament Saturday

    Speaking of Kolat - it took me about 10 minutes to find multiple cases where a Campbell backup forfeited to a Campbell starter when they wrestled in a tournament. I found one in the Navy Open, F&M Open, and Midlands last year. Is this a milder case of match fixing? You are letting your...

    Zahid Valencia Suspended

    There is either more to the story or he has tested positive multiple times. Usually, the University handles the first and/or second positive tests internally. I think ASU has a 3 strikes and you are out policy on drug testing.

    Flo interviews (Pro account needed for most)

    J.D. Radar (former South Hamilton and Nebraska Kearney wrestler) did the interviews. He currently works at Flo.

    Big 12 Wrestling

    I think Coleman will be the 5th seed: 1.Taylor Lujan (Wins: Montalvo, Carlson, Coleman, Roberts, Thompson) 2.Anthony Montalvo (Wins: Carlson, Clothier, Coleman, Roberts, Samuelson, Thompson) 3.Zach Carlson (Wins: Coleman, Roberts, Samuelson, Thompson) 4.Alan Clothier(Wins: Samuleson) 5.Marcus...

    Upcoming Arizona State Dual

    Sometimes it is difficult to beef up and get bigger when you have to stay the same weight. Marcus barely certified to make 174 this year. I think he has a frame that would benefit from gaining 10 pounds of muscle rather than losing another 9 pounds.

    Up next CKLV

    I think Carr has a resume where you could justify a top 5 ranking, but overall Flo puts too much weight on single early-season wins. Some recent examples include Collin Purinton moved to #4 (over Degan) after beating Thomsen. Last week they moved Dean Sherry to top 10 after pinning Devin...

    Nov 17th Dual vs Bucknell

    Iowa State did not lose a team point, so I don't think it was a flagrant misconduct.

    Mark Hall

    On FRL today, they talked about how Mark Hall had strong coaching aspirations and wanted to complete college this year. He is one of the Penn State guys we actually have a small chance of pulling away from Cael. He used to train with Brent and his brother while at Davidson. We are one of a...
