I would think that being the AHC at V-Tech would be a step up. I'm not sure, but I doubt the pay at Columbia for a Head Coach would be great. V-Tech is a program that has some pretty good backing and money and I think Robie probably just went out and brought someone in that he thinks will help the program. I do not see Robie going anywhere for a while. Plus the cost of living in Blackburg compared to NYC has to make up for a pretty good chunk of money. Blackburg is a great College town also. I hope Columbia finds a good replacement, but I don't think it will be easy.

Greco for me is very hard to watch. I know it is a very technical type of wrestling, but to me there is very little action besides two guys trying to beat each other down to the ground. Here is another take on it: My wife was watching the trials with my son and I. My son is a top level HS wrestler and has placed in the top three in FS the last two years in Fargo. My wife loves to watch him wrestle, but since she attends almost all of the Folkstyle season, she tends to be working more and has not made it to Fargo or any of the Regional tournaments that we attend. While watching Greco, she asks my son, "why don't you start specializing in Greco, since it seems like it would be easier to make the World and Olympic teams?" Of course my son did not like that she was implying that it is easier and he took it to heart and thought she meant that he would never make a World or Olympic Team in FS. My son's response, " Greco is stupid and why would I even want to wrestle it at that level when I think I can be the man in FS?" She asked him a few other questions in which he did not reply much and it was obvious that he did not want anything to do with Greco. He does wrestle Greco at most tournaments and he has done very well, but last year in Fargo, we let him only wrestle FS and that is what he wants to do from now on.

For me it really sucked watching Taylor lose and that is not taking anything away from Brooks, I hope he goes and wins it all. Still at this moment, I cannot believe Taylor lost. So I got to thinking, why is this bothering me so much? I don't personally know him. I have met him a few times and he has always been awesome to fans and very approachable, but why is this so difficult to accept? Then it hit me. David Taylor to me, was the first kind of superstar in our sport since he was just a young kid. There have been plenty of others, but he was the first wrestler that I was able to really follow with all the new Social Media. Magic Man of the Mat was awesome and it really caught my attention and I started following him from there. He has always had that star power and his style of wrestling really made me a fan. I don't know what his next step will be in his wrestling career, but I wish him well and I hope he will stay actively involved with the sport.

Unfortunately Dorian is not going to go the traditional route and go to College. (I'm not bashing him or his family here. I just wish everyone could see him wrestle.) He is a unbelievable talent and wrestler, but his family has chosen to go the grappling and mma route. I'm hoping he may continue with FS for a little while and take the Cejudo route, but I think they are looking for the pay day which I can't blame them and get him competing MMA pretty quickly. If you have not seem him wrestle before, check out some of his matches. The kid is legit.

Prizlaff would be my choice. I love Askren and I have been close friends with him for a long time. Ben would not like playing by the rules that he would have to follow. Not breaking rules and cheating, but like everyone knows, Ben speaks his mind and he does not care about what people think. He will tell you exactly how he feels or sees something and that is not PC in the university world. He has done such a great job with AWA and hopefully whenever they do hire a new coach, that coach and Ben will be able to get along and UW can benefit from that.

Read the question wrong. I didn't realize it said Kelvin Jackson.

I don't know about current recruits, but I could see the current team rebel against them if the Ferrari's end up on the roster.

I know as a fan, we want to see more matches and especially the marquee matches that we rarely see anymore until the Conference Championships or the NCAA'S. Looking at it though, it is hard to argue with Penn State and Cael's success. It definitely looks like the other top teams are following the same strategy also. Most duals do not feature the top match ups when they are suppose to.

I do not see any way that he beats Starrochi. He is a very good wrestler, but he is nowhere near Starrochi right now. He might be able to keep in to a decision, but I think if they wrestle next season, Starrochi majors him.

I'm sure somebody has already posted this somewhere, but what is the reason for his transfer? I'm a little surprised with the success he had this year and in his interviews he seemed to really care about his team and partners.

Lots of prayers being sent for Peyton and the Robb family. There is not a better individual on or off the mat then Peyton. Right now he is heading in the right direction and hopefully with god's work and prayers from everyone in the wrestling community, he will be able to recover from this and have a healthy life.

I have heard that Anthony has had a few gun issues, but not shooting up someone's house or killing their dog. On the dumb side for even a Ferrari, Anthony did go get a tattoo that covers his back from shoulder to shoulder that spells out Ferrari with using guns to replace the r's and that was done after all the rumors and allegations. It is character moves and I will do what I want because I'm a Ferrari is what concerns me They can wrestle though and sometimes Coaches believe what they want to when it comes to recruits. Coaches are in the business of helping people. That is what coaches do, so for the Iowa staff to think they can help Anthony reach his dreams of winning NCAA Titles, that is what they believe they can do. Plus I have not heard anything about AJ going to IA yet. I'm sure that is the plan, because this family does not do anything without each other, but I still have not heard a AJ announcement, besides them promoting that news is coming. Do I think this will workout for IA with the Ferrari family? Absolutely not! You are getting Fiero's and not Ferrari's when it comes to this deal. I have nothing against them. They have never done anything to me or my family. I have just been around them enough over the last 10 years to know that they can blow up a situation really quickly and it has never worked out the way they have wanted it to and so they pack up and move on.

I do not believe they will be able to run the NCAA Tournament and the Women's Tournament together ever if the Women continue to wrestle Freestyle. 2 completely different tournaments would not go over well. I still do not know why we are doing Freestyle with the Women in College. It really does not make sense to me. I know there will be a lot of people bashing me on that comment, but I just do not see the benefits. The girls that are going to College to wrestle are competing in Folkstyle and then they are changing them over to Freestyle. Somebody said earlier in one of the other replies that a lot of girls are just learning about Folkstyle and then they expect to wrestle in College and convert to Freestyle? I'm a huge fan of all 3 styles, but I think it would be a huge mistake if the NCAA ever just went to Freestyle. I'm sure some of you feel differently, so let me hear it.
