Discuss Wisconsin Collegiate Wrestling - All Divisions / Re: Challenger to Cael/PSU/NLW...
Last post by npope - April 30, 2024, 06:48:23 PMQuote from: BadgerOne on April 30, 2024, 04:39:43 PMIf Bono only lived up to his promises when he took the job, UW would be that challenger. Bono said he'd close the borders if he got the job. Now if UW had KOT, Keckeisen, Mesenbrink, Sinclair, Buchanan, Hopke, Mirasola, Mirasola etc., we'd be as good as any team not named Penn State. C'mon Bono live up to your word and no more excuses.
If it were only that simple...

Discuss Wisconsin Collegiate Wrestling - All Divisions / Challenger to Cael/PSU/NLWC
Last post by rjchev141 - April 30, 2024, 03:20:39 PMI'm curious what others think, does a hypothetical challenger exist to Cael at PSU?
I'm assuming a current challenger doesn't exist in the foreseeable future, for example Brands at Iowa, Ryan at Ohio State, etc. The gap is only growing and my opinion is that PSU's only competition is past and future PSU teams.
So what about a hypothetical? Is there a coach/college combination that could fund raise, recruit, and develop enough to catch PSU. Coaches could include Steiber, Taylor, Dake, Burroughs, Metcalf, Askren, Cox, Cormier, Snyder, etc. Colleges could include Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, Oklahoma State, Arizona State, Wisconsin, etc.
I'll throw out a couple:
1. Ben Askren at Wisconsin
2. David Taylor to Iowa
3. Kyle Dake to Michigan
4. Kyle Snyder to Ohio State

WIWrestling Main Forum / Re: Big rule changes
Last post by rankwizard - April 30, 2024, 12:13:42 PMEasier to go get those bonus points in big duals.
Holding off a tech from a superior wrestler will still be encouraged -- holding off the major from a superior wrestler is asking a bit much in most cases and shouldn't be likely if stalling is called consistently

Discuss Wisconsin Collegiate Wrestling - All Divisions / Re: US Open Results - U20 Free...
Last post by WrestlerSB80 - April 30, 2024, 10:17:47 AMQuote from: Army Ant on April 29, 2024, 12:21:08 PMLooks like U15 & U17 WI kids didn't seem to do NEARLY as well. I saw that Wolbert took 2nd at U17 but a big dropoff after that to 6th placers, etc. and I didn't notice any big placers at U15 but maybe I missed something. More proof that the recent success of our graduating seniors at the national level was more of a temporary flux of talent than a long-term change.
This senior class is probably the best class in Wisconsin history and know matter what club they wrestle, they have all helped build up wrestling in Wisconsin.
This will be very hard to match, but Wisconsin has a lot of good talent in the pipeline. Trust the process.

Last post by Army Ant - April 30, 2024, 07:38:09 AMMaybe a combination of the two. You always have short-term peaks & valleys, regardless of the long-term trajectory. There's no doubt that this was a bumper crop of seniors and we won't be able to match that in the near-term. Hopefully the long-term trend is upward.
That being said, they seemed to wrestle at or above their seeds overall, so still a solid U15/17 performance.

Olympic/International / Re: US Open
Last post by littleguy301 - April 29, 2024, 09:34:30 PMQuote from: hammer on April 29, 2024, 11:29:26 AMSo does anybody have a list of ALL all Americans in the 3 age groups and women's? Looks to be alot of each level AA. Incredible showing if you ask me!
Just looked at the WWF website and it shows 36 AA for all age levels. I think I have it right. I feel very good showing overall!
I believe the Badgers also had 2 AA in the U20!

Olympic/International / Re: US Open
Last post by hammer - April 29, 2024, 07:18:05 PMLook through and it seems like Wisconsin had a good showing overall. Really good in the U20 and the other 3 good. Hats off to those that competed and a tip of the hat to those who placed. Man I think Wisconsin did well and hardly any noise about the US open. Man!
