U20 Nationals in Vegas
One of my dislikes of Freestyle is that someone gets one lace or other rolling move and the match is essentially over. In Folk at least you have to show control and even then the points are limited to 4. I didn't watch this match but most matches end that way imo -
General (non-ISU) Wrestling Twitter/News Thread
How do you "know Askren doesn't like Bono " ? Did you hear this directly from Askren? If so how recently was this? Askren doesn't seem like the kind of guy to hold a grudge for all these years. I listen to FLR and have never heard him say anything negative about Bono or Wisconsin wrestling. -
General (non-ISU) Wrestling Twitter/News Thread
Personally I don't get all the hate for coach Bono. He's a Cyclone national champ who along with coach Reader (another Cyclone champ) pushed the SDSU program to the next level. They have since took over a Wisconsin program that was in a major slump and are working to rebuild that program. I... -
Olympic Wrestling
For me I love Folkstyle and the other styles are not even close. Freestyle is second and Greco-Roman is a distant third. -
2024 Transfer Portal Tracker (Wrestling)
Dresser has publicly stated that he plans to use nil to get at least two guys at each weight on the equivalent of a full ride. I'd be shocked if Naak wasn't on a full ride package. -
2024 Transfer Portal Tracker (Wrestling)
As a coach you hope all of your guys are gunning for the starting spot. However, the best coaches let guys develop and give them opportunities to prove themselves. I believe that some coaches promise starting spots and try to stack the deck in favor of their favorites. Our coaches let guys... -

If Ramazan can make 125 I would have thought he would have challenged KT for the spot the last couple of years. I'd guess he's getting a free ride for Grad school and will be challenging at 133/141. -

Nando - Ala Evan Frost from out of nowhere ;) -
Olympic Wrestling
I see the pov but Kerry McCoy proves that if your good... your good and will get a shot no matter what the weight you compete at. I wonder what other Hvy & 125 guys have been head coaches. -
You're the Commissioner. Now Fix Wrestling!
I can agree to disagree. Almost any position can be used as a stall tactic. You can't outlaw all positions. -
2024 Transfer Portal Tracker (Wrestling)
NDSU is getting gutted. I hope they can pickup some good transfers to balance the scales. -
You're the Commissioner. Now Fix Wrestling!
I like the 3,2,1 scoring setup currently. I already mentioned in another post on this thread that I'd change the rules on the feet to make an step out or backout result in an automatic stalling. I'd also make a couple minor changes to top/bottom. 1. Give one point for each minute of RT... -
Future at Head Coach
David has stated in recent interviews that he plans to pursue coaching after his competitive career is over. I assume that means after he's done chasing World/Olympic medals. IMO he will be an amazing coach and I would predict that he ends up on staff here at ISU and could be our future coach... -
2024-2025 Wrestling Lineup Projection
This team would beat PSU imo... That said I think Ayala/Star would be crazy to transfer (well, maybe not Ayala lol) -
2024-2025 Wrestling Lineup Projection
Here's my prediction without transfers/injuries changing the lineup and some thoughts/options 125: Kysen (if he uses Covid yr)/Perryman (if he jumps level and/or Kysen doesn't return) 133: E. Frost 141: J. Frost (I would love to see a wrestle off between Ech & J Frost) 149: Ech (high AA)... -
You're the Commissioner. Now Fix Wrestling!
I agree with this. The sport is in great shape IMO especially with the new 3 point takedown. Input some sort of back out/step out rule being an auto stall and that solves the ref's self interpitation problem. Side rant regarding wrestling from 1 knee: - For everyone that bashes on knee... -
Carter Pearson Commits!
I already called him on my Golf team for the outing so don't get any ideas ;) Seriously... Congrats to Carter & his family AND the Coaching Staff. He's a good get and I predict his style will translate to College Success. I'm excited to know that some of my C&G Collective $$$ could be heading... -
Kansas City roll call
I typically cheer for (in order) 1. ISU 2. Whoever is against the hawks 3. Native Iowan's 4. SDSU 4A. Panthers -
NCAA Seeding Discussion
Unpopular opinion... The more I think it over IMO they got 165 correct. H2H should mean something if they are right next to each other in seeding/rankings. That said, ducking is being rewarded and I hope that Karma shows up big time when DC beats KOT in the semi's and Ramirez takes a couple... -
AA Prediction time
Give me this with with 184 & 174 stepping up should someone stumble. I also predict that all 9 guys will score for us. 8 out of our 9 guys are wired for bonus points. Bring on KC and the toughest wrestling tourney in the world. No ducking allowed!
