PSU

If Lee returns, and why wouldn't he, and PSU figures out 149 (Bartlett grows into) and 165 (Facundo shrinks) they could have 10 AAs next year and Iowa's 1 year rental of the team trophy will be over. Seriously, Iowa has some work to do. I think Marinelli is likely done and does Kemerer really come back for a 7th year?  They're just not good enough at the other weights.  On top of that Sanderson/Cunningham/Sanderson are far better tacticians and give their guys better chances to win. The job they did with RBY in preparing for Fix and the ability to turn around the results for Lee and Starocci is amazing.  Its funny how a PSU wrestler loses the first match up and then wins the next and goes on to dominate after.  Coaching!

One thing about PSU is they have the ability to adapt to the other wrestler's style.  Their strategy in the matches is on a different level.  The previous group was all about scoring all the time.  This group tends to be more focused on controlling the tempo and flow of the bouts.  The coaching staff is really good at tapping the individual strengths of their wrestlers and getting their mindset right.  They have a way of getting the most out of their kids.  I am really interested to watch the development of Howard and Berge going forward since they are not the most talented guys at their weights, but the coaches will help them reach their potential.

PA national champs- Starocci ECP, Lee FR, any others I missed? 

How many PA all Americans?

I heard a weird statistic and so I looked it up. It's true.

Cael Sanderson's great at collegiate not at winning world championships. The top dogs if that's their ultimate goal to get to the top of the world threshold and peek from that roof instead of national many top talent aspires for a global worldwide vantage point. One guy wins it and most of the world Olympic champions are Muslim at this point so better figure out something else to do rather than just do what you're doing right now because it seems like they're getting better and the US is staying the course they've only won one world championship in the last 26 years.

CoachReils great data points. The person that has the most World Olympic championships if I were a top recruit I would lean towards that direction on where to matriculate get it matriculate LOL

That was the main bullet point I was trying to point out & convey. However you bring up some very good reasons for those other schools. I enjoyed your gathering of athletes paired with their specific coach and individual accolades.

DONGER any intel on Michael Beards whereabouts next year?

Overall the problem Penn State is overinflated egos Cael creates national champions national champions not world.

8 time Valentine's Foxcatcher the main line with Malvern prep shows you again how that area can focus on a goal achieve it & go to the top at any level.

Cael & DT won their Olympic and world titles respectively under skeptical clouds whereas Foxcatcher with multiple world championships. Foxcatcher Hall of Fame Penn State minor leagues end of story.

Cael needs to recruit a Russian because his technical skills in freestyle are not going to help NLWC anywhere anytime soon.

The wrestling world listens to people like Willie Saylor graduating from Easton to call himself the brain the real brains are down on the mainline the best athletes in the state not even a close call.

The two books written by John Dupont "Off The Mat" & "Never Give Up" should be at the top of Cael Sanderson's reading list this summer.

A really clear way of looking at it would be comparing the careers of Kevin Jackson from Iowa State vs Cael Sanderson from Iowa State.

Foxcatcher's Kevin Jackson placed runner-up at the NCAA's however he won two world championships an Olympic championship which outweighs Cael Sanderson's 4 national championships and 1 Olympic championship which he may have paid off for Cuban for so it's not even close. It's very conspicuous Foxcatcher's Kevin Jackson had a better career than Cael Sanderson. KJ also had Dave Schultz as a wrestling coach too obviously.

National championships NCAA championships are far cry from a world or Olympic freestyle championships.



Primarily Muslim countries are wrestling freestyle they're not wrestling NCAA.

Let's get the facts straight change the styles female male freestyle one style more fans equals more success summer 21 a new beginning.
