Yeah Ive heard the point made a few times when people are debating where Gable's college career ranks among other greats that although he "only" won 2 NCAA titles, he was (obviously) a 3x finalist and in his freshman year he apparently dominated his way to a midlands title. I believe he pinned that years NCAA champ in the midlands finals as a freshman. What a beast!I don't know about now, but years ago the Midlands was a tougher tournament than the NCAA, because it is an open and you had guys who were no longer in college still wrestling in it. Joe Williams won the Midlands several times after he had graduated from college.
