Rumor mill has 125 Cardinale, 133 Sullivan, and 197 Adams leaving the program. If that's true, then 3/4 of our NCAA qualifiers have left or are considering leaving and 1/4 of our coaching staff is gone. What is going on in Morgantown? 1. Cardinale was not a WVU recruit, he was the product of the tra...

Freestyle? Greco? Or all Folkstyle?

I’m with mscoach64, how dare someone suggest that adding a division in a state where we are losing population will water down the competition. In fact, I propose that following in the footsteps of our brother to the East, the Commonwealth of Virginia, we institute SIX Public School classes and one p...

This may not be a popular post but here's the truth What do the wrestlers on this AAA P4P list want to get out of wrestling? A state title? A great record? Local recognition? They are all well on their way to all of those things. What if they want to wrestle Div 1? What if they want to be nationally...

My posting results and saying that I hope we go 4-0 in the third round was negative? Or was it when another guy asked what it would take to get into the top five? That was negative? What exactly hurt your feelings? Won’t get the PIAA kids? When our coaches recruit a kid it seems they get them. Want ...

4-0 in the 1st round
0-4 in the 2nd round
Hope we have a 4-0 3rd round today

125 & 133 had really tough draws against Iowa
165 lost to his opponent by 3 earlier in the year and by 6 this time
197 seems to be snakebitten by one guy, disappointed for him but never disappointed in him.

Good list. Noah Brown might be in the conversation too?

That’s too many names Gary but I agree with you, too many great ones there to leave off any.

Tearing it up with the commitments.

Where will tournaments be held when schools are shut down? How many teams have their own facility for practice? What will happen to the teams that practice in a school? Are the coaches preparing a practice plan to deal with government regulations for number of kids, parents allowed in the facility? ...

Not looking to start a political argument here. Regardless of whether you personally think this is a complete political stunt or you think this is the worst virus known to man, or the more likely scenario of you being somewhere in between the extremes, it doesn’t look promising that we will have mid...

SA will be great considering at least 2 freshman that are national champs moving up plus several more that have been in it since they were in the youth program. Just a few names to know Moses Eads and Mathew Macafee. What national championship did they win and when? What weight do you project them?...

4) Jared Walters

I didn’t include coaches in my original list but the CM list makes me think of Ernie. RIP

There was a Noah that wrestled maybe two or three seasons ago for shady. Dave’s son?

how in the world do you not put Andy Thomas (4 time state champ) in the PHS top 4 ! :roll: Yeah...Andy Thomas should be in there. Also, don’t sleep on Leland Merrill, ‘48 Olympic medalist...different time, but still a notable achievement. The problem with advocating for Leland Merrill is that he co...

The South Mount Rushmore would be led by Braxton Amos followed by David Jeffrey and Justin Allman. Two 4 time state champions and a 3 time state champion that has won every wrestling award possible. Not only that, but after not playing football since the seventh grade he was first team all state. A...

I agree it is a hard list to make, who do you take out of my 4 to put Andy in?

Board is slow this time of year. Just for fun what’s your school’s Mount Rushmore?

PHS
Mike Lantz
Brandon Rader
Gary Tuttle
Jared Haught

Could make a case for Greg Bradshaw, Aaron Fleming, Andy Thomas, or Matt Stevens in one of the spots.

Glenville commitments?

Congratulations to Josh Humphreys 157 Lehigh and Noah Adams 197 on earning 2020 NCAA All American Status.

Anthony Dalesio was committed to Kent but flipped to WVU. Good for us bad for Kent. The recruits in this class have been stacked in the middle weights so it is good to see an upper weight coming in. Does he go 184 to battle it out with Carman & Moomau & DeLong for most of his career or does ...

Seibert at Big 12:
Lost by tech fall 17-1
Won in OT 6-4 over a wrestler that went 20-21 on the season
Lost again by tech fall 22-7 to take 8th place out of 12 wrestlers

Will be fun to watch. Hovis is the most recent blue chip recruit so he isn’t starting with a powerhouse. It will be interesting. + He is not limited to 9.9 scholarships - No redshirts - No transfers - NA won’t accept marginal grades or test scores + If everyone buys in he can create something very s...

Hopefully his brother keeps that PA pipeline open! I agree that he should get more than 3 years to produce but when is the magic number that he becomes accountable? Easy to say Henson left a mess and the cupboards were bare as the reason for the rough year. How do we explain the drop off in qualifie...

Chapman is 43-2 and lost narrowly on a fleeing call in the finals last year.
Lost by 1 to Frazier and lost by 1st period pin to Amos. Neither one are in his bracket. He has to be the favorite to win it.

The people who are repeatedly explaining their interpretation of a rule and urging bear hugger to contact the wvssac for the official interpretation are apparently selective in their ability to read rules. Those people (some of whom are coaches) are telling bear hugger to do something that is also a...

This generation of young ladies started wrestling when the only foreseeable path was to compete against boys.

I expected some attrition when Coach Flynn took the reins. From what I hear Coach Henson’s social expectations for our wrestlers were more flexible than Coach Flynn’s. I didn’t expect Schmitt to leave. I am not sure what exactly his departure means about the state of the program. Maybe it means noth...
