Re: U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS

The Asian Indians seem to be very good at wrestling. Not a country, notwithstanding its huge population, that excels in many sports. You can add cricket and field hockey. Any others? There is a very large Indian American population in New Jersey which seems to be growing. You find lots of Indian Ame...

Re: Transfer portal

Need a 165 in a very bad way if Mays leaves. Strange that he would put himself in the portal (assuming his academics pass muster) when the slot would seem to be his. Wonder if his portalizing (made that word up) is a bargaining chip. Need a 165 in a bad way if Mays stays as well. Quite possibly. Bu...

Re: Rylan Rogers

In addition to being 88-0 and a state champion, Logan wasn't taken down in his last two years.

Watching him as a LU wrestler, one would never guess in a million years that he had been a defensive nonpareil.

The Turks don't like their country being called "Turkey" It's "Türkiye". Say "Turkey" in front of a Turk and be prepared for a dressing down.

Re: JOHN SMITH retires

Yeah, he basically said his and Gilman's competitive careers are finished.......which makes you wonder if Brooks is out for Olympics does Hidlay go? Sounds like yes...... Wouldn't look very patriotic for the defending Olympic and World Champion to pass the baton to third string Hidlay with the Olym...

Re: Building on Success

Lopes, with a strong resumé, is coming in ... though he hasn't appeared in the major tournaments lately. Wrestled at 138.

If Stanich doesn't prove to be a force at 141, ya never know. Who thought Stanich would AA in his first year?
