Hank, I am curious what you mean by wrestling too many unnecessary matches?
Let me rephrase--too much wear and tear. The trend in D1 is towards competing less often.

This is off topic but I have been wondering why TR is not in the corner of his wrestlers in their NCAA finals match. He was not in Stiebers corner for his 4 titles, and why I ask is guys like Sanderso ...

I've spent a bit of time researching the OU lineup. It's pretty good. They showed flashes this season but also had some bad moments. On paper however they return a nice squad assuming Kellar doesn' ...

Rocco lost the handfight, and thus, the match.
Starocci had no intention of risking a bad shot. He dominated the ties and controlled the mat, something Welsh is often doing himself. Starocci is ...

Problem with the MSU guys--Saldate and Fish are both in the portal--is that they arrive having spent 4 years training a certain way. Unless you think you can make some tweaks in their game that will ...

PSU also dominated the tie up game at 141 as Bartlett got in on two really good shots near the end of periods. In both instances, Mendez countered brilliantly.
But I understand your point re: S ...

Nagao and Truax did not appear improved in the slightest. Perhaps the PSU system works better when you're introduced to it as a frosh?
Michigan had the opposite problem. While Griffith, Gomez and ...

Tom Ryan may say he eschews the portal but if you're a top squad with a good base and a few holes, it's too tempting to ignore.
Would anyone not be ecstatic if Hamiti were coming to Columbus?

I don't see Wilcox entering the portal. Very real possibility he's your starter next season at 157 or 165.
Of course all that changes if a kid like Peyten Kellar enters the portal.
Personally ...

Career record was 120-5. For comparison's sake Alan Fried was 129-6. Logan had 3 career losses.
He's in rare company with that type of record and takes his place as one of the all time great pr ...

Rumor on Iowa boards is

I think Iowa is an excellent program and that their coaches do a very good job. But no one can keep pace with PSU and it's killing the Iowa fan base. Add in some of the desperation moves made by Iow ...

For what it's worth, if you want to test the bad leg, shoot on the good leg and force him to use the other one for balance/stability.

Rex: There is no question in my mind that the PSU coaches wanted Bartlett to be more aggressive. He was throughout the tourney. But he wasn't used to someone countering the way Jesse did. Rarely d ...

Do you put Logan’s win over Jordan Oliver? Certainly the most controversial. This one is big because it represents the longest stretch in TRs coaching tenure without a champ. Now you could conten ...
