I think Metcalf was injured or got injured when he lost to Ware one year could be wrong and as for Frayer he just got beat that day by the better wrestler. I would like to see Metcalf really open up and change levels some for more action as the more points that are scored in his matches I think he has a better shot of really dominating.
-
Not sure if Metcalf has made ZERO improvements this past year but he is the top guy at this weight and see nothing to suggest otherwise for the next Olympic cycle.

Coach Young was not only a great wrestler but a great coach and human being. I wrestled against him as a competitor when he coached at Cedar Falls HS and I at West High Waterloo he was always gracious with compliments and very humble in his own accomplishments. RIP Coach Young.
-
Though as a fan I was very much looking forward to watching him wrestle in college but looks like he feel's that training at the OTC is best for him. Good luck.
-
Awesome for Coach Brands and good for wrestling coaches every where if they get after it and promote their sport at their college to get people in the stands as well.

He's got another run in him for 2016 and he'll for sure make a go at it. Until that's said and done that's his fixation and guarantee he'll have tunnel vision for it. He may even go again in 2020, although not a shoe-in bet. I say after he has either achieved his goals or exhausted his greatest effort to, that we will see him coaching. He fits the mold of Iowa, so I think the program will do what it can to keep him there. If he leaves, it'll be to a school with a mentality that is similar. I'd be shocked if he ends up somewhere that is more finesse and technique.What information are you basing these claims off of?[/quote
Seriously??? What JT! posted is nothing more than what probably the majority of people think about Metcalf continuing to compete.
-
Willy was tremendous think may of given Pat Smith a few close matches, but had a few weak national tournaments. I remember following that year and thought he could be one of the guys that could stop smith from winning four.I thought it was McIlravy that he gave some very good matches too at 150 getting beat in OT at the Big 10's.

Yo Always,Thank you for the kind words.
About this topic.........I sure hope that I have not done a hijack job on this one ? Although title does mention Iowa and Midlands.
Denny I don't think you have done any hijacking at all. I am not sure why Iowa is not going to Midlands kind of a bummer for Iowa fans but still will be some great wrestling.
-
There are a lot of great great wrestlers in the history of college wrestling and Dake is one of them IMHO.
-
I have been to about 6-7 Midlands from 1980-2005 so it has been a few years I am trying to get a group of us to meet there always has been some good wrestling. Some of the matches that stick out in my mind that I was lucky enough to see were Schultz/Schalles, Schultz/Banach, Fried/Brands. I wish more post grads would step on the mat one last time against those college kids. Denny I enjoy hearing your stories on the past greats by the way.
-
Dake has nothing to prove so what ever weight he goes at there should not be anything that makes his career less distinguished than what it already is 3 timer with out a RS at three different weights. He is a all timer period.
-
Probably just messing with Taylor and PSU fans heads.
-
These are some good questions on what made a wrestler just improve by leaps in bounds in what seems like a short time I have wondered about the same thing from wrestlers like John Smith and Cael Sanderson. What made these guys explode off the charts? I am sure that the main reason is HARD work but something else has to be there too.
-
Interesting and good job on the research.
-
Prayers to you for a full and speedy recovery! I have many of your books they are awesome and a great resource for any wrestling fan!
-
Also was at UNI not sure what his official position was though.
-
Taylor is not dropping to 157 so let this talk die right now would be great if he would but not happening.
-
The more I think about it, the more I think it's premature to discuss who has the better career. Shoot, Taylor is just halfway through. If it ends up like this: 2 titles + 2 Hodges vs. 4 titles in 3 weight classesWho has the better career then? Do you go with the guy with more titles? Or do you go with the guy that has titles and Hodges? What if Taylor has three titles (something many think will happen)? What about 2 vs. 3? Or 3 vs. 3?
NCAA titles are won on the mat so I would go with the guy who has the most titles not a award that is voted on by a committee.
-
I think it is a no brainer that so far Dake has had the better college career of the two, Dake is 3 for 3 versus Taylor's 1 out of 2.I said it is a no brainer on who has the better college career so far(Dake) not on who is the better wrestler is that would be up for debate.

Love hearing these stories of workouts and honest thoughts of competitors.

The stories never get old thanks for sharing again!

As good of aseason that PSU is having they have not won the NACC's yet and untilll they win at least three in a row I will hold my opinon on how Cael is as a coach.Are you also holding your opinion on how J Rob is as a coach?
.
Talking about Sanderson's coaching ability with ALL the PA tallent at his doorstep. What Robinson has done for MN is amazing very few coaches if any other coaches could of done it.

How he does in getting the best with little money will show since 9.9 is the scholarship limit. Also agree I like it that the wealth is spread fun to watch the season progress when multiple teams are in the race.
Let's be honest: Varner should've won the 2010 Hodge
in College Wrestling

It is fun reading some posts that make no sense based on no logic at all. An for the education I feel confident that you were saying that you feel Varner should of won the Hodge and him winning the gold in the Olympics backs you up.
