Webster just went 16-1 as a shirting freshman for Illinois. The loss was 4-2 to Ty Watters, who finished 4th behind Kasak. Wasn't a great schedule since it was all Opens, but he did beat D'Emilio, Rathjen, and Munson.

In 2023 when Kollin Rath beat nearly everybody in the country, Webster beat him.

Impressive win by Duke.

EDIT: Webster won Fargo JR at 145 last year.

I read that strategy in a book once. I think the author was some guy names Dan Gable. Never heard of him.

Sure you have. Look up "NCAA wrestling: the pre-modern era".

So, while our recruits are out here making the finals of the biggest tournament we have, Iowa recruits are busy pushing each other off the mat and hand fighting with each other. And the beat goes on.

I'm bummed though for Davis, I hope his injury isn't serious. I have no idea, but I know it's not a shoulder so there's that at least.

Mirasola the Larger makes 8.

Cole moves really well for a man that size. He also seems to have a high wrestling IQ.

Simon Ruiz is a fantastic win for Zack. For reference, he wrestled at Cornell's Greyshirt Program last year, beat Lennox Wolak, lost in SV to Rocco and other than a 8-3 win over a Binghamton kid, he bonused everyone else.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve watched McEnelly wrestle even a 3 minute stretch without being able to get to legs, let alone an entire match. Josh Barr’s defense is insane.

I’d like to point out that we have incoming finalists at 57, 70, 74, 79, 86, 92 and 97kg.

The best recruit for the Steelers since TJ Watt is clearly Omar Kahn. He is doing a spectacular job rebuilding the Steelers and keeping Tomlin away from personnel decisions. If Kahn would have been in place two years ago, Tomlin would have been prevented from picking no-talent, useless Pickett in the first round.

It would have been so great to have won this '79 game. Joe was from Brooklyn, went to Brown. English Literature major. Did not look like the classic football coach. Did not talk like a football coach. Did not hold the same values as many of his football jock coach peers. He had a new way of thinking about college football players, they were not jocks but students who were to graduate and become leaders in their communities and professions. Bear Bryant and Alabama were the old guard. Southern and football is king. Football factory churning out football jocks but students? Who knows.

Painful and highly annoying loss given we had so many opportunities. So glad though I was able to be in that same building 4 years later for Joe to beat another southern/SEC team for the national championship.

When I met Herschel Walker I brought that Georgia-Penn State Sugar Bowl up to him and he smiled and said, “I wish you hadn’t mentioned that.”
