    Johnson has pretty much acknowledged that he's going to WI to play football and probably will end up passing on wrestling. So I don't think NU wrestling has lost much on that front.

    I think it was Holyfield who said it's hard to knock out a guy who's not trying to knock you out. Same logic applies here.

    When they say "All glory to God" what they mean is "hey everyone - look how humble and pious I am! Isn't that great?"

    This guy, blueandgold, asks a question, then answers his own question in his initial post - incorrectly (Crookham's the best frosh?), and then after 20+ replies nobody calls him out on this?

    doubt it. source?

    Cornell has a couple loopholes they use. Princeton also allows for materially lower academic standards for wrestlers. A better comparison would be Columbia or Brown.

    Nonresponsive answer - I know it can be hard to stay on topic. Fact is admission standards at Duke rule out many wrestlers that App. State can take.

    What are the GPA/ACT standards for the App. St. wrestling team?

    I see high school refs call stalemate when the top guy has legs in for an extended period. Is that the right call? I think of it as a form of riding, like a spiral ride or controlling the wrist - which would never be called a stalemate.

    This is the only way to close the loop and end this chain reaction.

    North of Illinois geographically, but decades behind it in terms of culture.

    I've heard thru the grapevine that he's another one going the football route. Incidentally, has there ever been a Hopke-Kueter match in folk or free? That would be fun to see.

    Repost this in 12 months. I'm happy to eat crow if I'm wrong (but I won't be). Kid's a stud at both, but they always pick football.

    100% football. He'll never see the wrestling mat.

    The upper weight guys are all pretty much playing football. Even if they say they're wrestling, don't count on it.

    Folkstyle can certainly use a few fixes...but that's not one of them. Now try to stay on topic - what can freestyle do to become more watchable?

    Limit guys to one turn per takedown and I might start watching. Arujai-DeSantis match is a perfect example of how scoring doesn't accurately reflect skill level differences between the competitors.

    12 months of hiding from the followers of Muhammed is not equally exhausting?

    Do they ever try out these rules in live exhibition matches or tournaments? Seems silly to change the rules without first having an opportunity to see how they would operate in a real live match. Sometimes ideas that seem great on paper have unintended consequences that you only see in a real world situation.

    Rumor is Brooks moving to 197 with Truax dropping to 184. If someone picks up AJ, we've got two former champs at 197 next season. Who you got and why? Both devout Christians, so I expect Jesus will stay out of it and not play favorites.

    Wow

    Fletcher replied to lu_alum's topic in College Wrestling

    I scored it as 2 takedown and 3 backpoints for green.

    Griffith from Stanford in the portal as a grad transfer?

    I would argue that, as long as we have riding time, no top wrestling should ever be considered stalling. It's all offense to earn/secure the riding time point.
  25. Fletcher
    Ironic that the thread is entitled "worst stallers" and all the replies list the best stallers. Case in point - Dan Dennis; the kid never stalled in his career, so when he needed that skill set in the last 30 seconds of the NCAA finals, he had no ideal how to stall correctly. Make no mistake - stalling and not getting called for it is a learned skill.
