Q Quite a few. Zain Retherford vs Nick Lee Kyle Dake vs Jason Nolf Taylor vs Brooks These 3 finals featured all Nittany Lions (PSU). Gilman vs Spencer Lee are former teammates. And there were probably several more scattered throughout. Penn State is so insanely talent-rich it's just unavoidable.

On the greco side, major props to Josef Rau. If my memory serves, he won the trials in 2016 but failed to qualify the weight. Now he just beat a Cuban to win the trials. But I believe he and quite a few others in greco and freestyle need to qualify the weight. I fear we will have more than one...

But on the other hand, if you can defeat Taylor and make it look easy, you've got to be considered the favorite to win gold.

I don't see what's SO controversial about the things he's saying. Especially if they happen to be true. People need to just chill a little. If he's a moron then he's a moron but he is one of the top 10 freestylers in the nation he deserves the opportunity to compete.

These trials are kinda bumming me out. Making me feel old. Seems like yesterday Jden Cox was absolutely on fire winning world titles and looking like he and Snyder were going to have a great rivalry at the top. Even a guy like Pat Downey. Makes a world team in DT's absence, wrestled well, then...

What a slime ball. Burroughs deserves better and I hope he comes back for another world title at 79. And I hope he whoops at least one Nittany Lion to do it.

No. Are you saying he lost to Nolf?!

Pretty incredible. Also I think the Mirasola bros are Askren proteges and heading to PSU. The future is bright for them.

Horrible stretch for the recent crop of college guys. Even though Vitali was the only one who had a very good shot. Which reminds me. I read today Starrocci is entering at 86. PSU has like 5 or 6 guys entering at 86.

Yeah I get it. Apparently he's nursing an injury too. But he'll grow into 65 and probably win another world medals (at least) at 61. He's still young.

Wtf!? He'd rather sit out then try to parlay his crazy momentum at 65? That seems I'll advised.

When I was really getting into MMA back around 2005 I would spend hours on these forums. It was a wealth of knowledge and content. Good times. Btw @mattemate you ever try prolotherapy? Look into it. It's definitely worth a shot and will be cheaper than stem cells. They also do prolo and PRP...

Trials coming up and the level of competition is pretty insane. At 57 and 65 pretty much all of the top guys have beat each other. There's new blood coming out of college and even high school. That one HS kid just teched Tomasello. We got Burroughs not getting plugged into the later rounds for...

If we are gonna talk about why Penn State is so successful we have to at least mention the following. Being Cael Sanderson gives you a gargantuan edge in recruiting. He, his brothers, Casey Cunningham, Jake Varner, also happen to be tremendously talented coaches.

Speaking of, a couple years ago I thought Yianni was a lock to be our 65er for years. But since then Zain has pulled ahead. Albeit at 70 kg

Did you mean Nick Lee? Not that I'm suggesting you don't know who Spencer Lee is but I was talking about 65. Last year's rep at 65. Nick Lee.

Spencer is 57.

I can't think of a single modern wrestler off the top of my head, with the pedigree that Fix has, that didn't keep wrestling after college. And I'm not taking about guys who were really good in college I'm talking about guys with the level of international success that Fix has. The DI season is...

Maybe Fix should go 65. Sometimes guys get a nice boost when they stop cutting so much. Plus, nobody domestically at 65 has been unbeatable. But at 57 we are assumingly gonna have Vitali Gilman The rep from last year I can't remember his name Who else?

Heartbreaking. Fix is an absolute stud. I hope he can go on to get a world title to dry his tears. Was hoping for Jacori Teemer of Arizona State to get it done in his last shot too. Fellow long islander who won 5 NY state high school titles and at least 1 national title. I'm not sure if he...
