Re: Stanich

Luke Stanich had one whale of an NCAA tournament. He beat #16 Peterson, #7 Camacho, #5 Volk, #4 Ramos before dropping a bout to #10 Barnett. He was put in an untenable position at #2, but still managed to win 6 NCAA bouts.

That's impressive folks.

Re: Transfer portal

I would agree with "the rich get richer" -- PSU is more of a magnet these days. Iowa and Michigan are Big 10 so there's that. Sean Bormet seems to have a very successful template in place. Why Lehigh fans hope and wish for every big name that enters the portal at weights we need help is cu...

Women Recruits -- All-Name

Baldwin Wallace -- Leyna Rumpler (unfortunate)
Colorado Mesa -- Madison Heinzer (quite unfortunate)
Grand Valley State -- Skylar Little Soldier (should've been Army)
Huntingdon -- Kayleigh Savage (WWE name)

Re: Over-Coaching?

8 guys *is* a significant number -- it's 10%. Almost 1 per weight class on average and I'll wager it will hit that level sooner than later.

Re: Over-Coaching?

Maybe add all first year guys as well, like Crookham, Nasir Bailey, Messenbrink -- like I said, it's not just 1 or 2. It's enough to affect things. Your over-all point about veterans is true -- no one said otherwise. So 6 true frosh -- which is a lot IMO -- and how many RS frosh like Crookham and Me...

Re: Over-Coaching?

It happens to many guys. Hard to maintain top of the podium with so much new, young talent emerging year after year. More than ever, guys are coming in prepared to win it right away. Not just 1 or 2. That's a shift in the lanscape. Take Shane Griffith --- 1,2,5,3. Mekhi is another good example. Than...

Re: Over-Coaching?

Stalling? Or pushing a guy out. I'm old school and don't consider that stalling. A guy is stalling when he shoots a few times and the other guy backs up,,,,,not pushes a few times and the guy backs up.

Re: Transfer portal

Hamiti, from Illinois, stays Big 10. Maybe NW or Illinois.

Picking Place Winners

My brother asked me to pick top 8 for each weight prior to NCAAs....in projected order of finish. While I didn't accommodate that request, I did mange to pick 57 out of the 80 place winners for 71%. I had toyed around with just picking the top 8 seeds.....if I had the number would have been 60 out o...
