Quote from: WrestlerSB80 on Yesterday at 10:11:03 PMLittleguy. Credit? You serious Or April fools? No disrespect to Bono? But This senior class is top 3 ever since I can remember in Wisconsin. Probably number 1 and only one kid is going to Wisconsin. That's a major problem and these kids are from all different clubs in Wisconsin, not just Askren.

I like that  few athletes are coming back and the badgers have landed a couple in-state kids. Sure with the past few classes it is hard to see most all of them go but trying to be positive that some came back and stayed!

Yes AWA takes alot of blame but it isn't like any of the clubs are turning out badgers at this point, a few but not many.

Quote from: buc65 on Yesterday at 11:54:48 PMI'm not defending Bono, but he is bringing in a 285 who beat Hopke.  How much that 285 gets on the mat in wrestling is TBD.

Here are the numbers for each of the 4 All-Star Teams at the Pittsburgh Classic and if they are staying in state for college or leaving the state.  A lot of kids not staying in there home state to wrestle.

PA All-Stars - 3 in state wrestling & 1 football - 8 out of state wrestling
US All-Stars - 3 in state wrestling - 9 out of state wrestling - 1 recruit from MN is going to Oklahoma
WPIAL All-Stars - 5 in state (2 @ D2), 6 out of state and 1 no information
NJ All-Stars - 1 in state (D2), 6 out of state and 5 no information



I can agree there is some defense for Bono. He can do well, but perhaps he needs a fresh start in a different state. Unless he doesn't mind the criticism here in WI

Jake Varner PSU RTC coach
Kyle Ruschell college coach


The Badgers are going to hire a guy with a few years of college coaching under thier belt.


Also how many club coaches has gone from club to major college coaches? I am sure thier are a few but cannt be many. Look at the elite clubs and thier coaches have been thier for awhile, young guns, sebolt, pinnacle, izzy style.etc.....not sure as to you could.lure them away.from the clubs but maybe......


Didn't Poeta go from his club to Illinois head coach?  Maybe had assistant coaching between his college career and opening his club?  Illinois did not have a good year, but their 2 best wrestlers (Byrd and Braugnel) red-shirted, have some great young recruits/starters and 1 AA this year (Ruth).

Good call. Yes there are a few I am sure but I cannt say alot. Prove me wrong.

AWA has taken quite a hit on kids not coming but who is at fault for these kids leaving? Sure like some one says they haven't scored many points after leaving but man there is alot of people leaving regardless.

Nice to see a few coming back and Bono needs some credit for those coming back and the ones that are there also.

Even better, Bono is being inducted into the Pittsburg Classic Hall of Fame. How many people ask him how he missed on both Millard and Hopke? Imagine the BS he will tell them.
