I have heard the Afton Quadrangular in Missouri is one of the toughest...

I think Cody Brewer's Nattie bumps Bailey. 

Pretty impressive for a team that is almost entirely composed of in state talent, especially one not usually regarded highly for its wrestling talent 

Losing to an 11-25 kid at the conference tournament should disqualify you from the at large bid.

I never understand why people get upset that there is a topic on here that they don't think should be on here. 
 
I don't like mainstream country music. I don't get mad that it is on the radio. I just don't tune my dial into it and keep playing Tyler Childers at full blast. 
 
Just pass the thread up and click on one of the hundreds of other threads on this board.

Can we at least agree parents shouldn't be allowed that close to the kids wrestling?

Wrestling has long had a challenge related to diversity (race and gender issues especially), though the  US wrestling community is largely in denial about it or prefers to change the subject. 
Look at one of replies above in particular.  Or look at the vitriolic anger directed toward Title IX.
The US wrestling community is extremely white, rural, Republican, religious, and conservative, and doesn't like to think or talk about systemic, institutional, or cultural issues. 
It also largely doesn't have the capacity (history, resources, curiosity) to do so.  It tends to prefer the status quo and to side with authority and authoritarians.  
It tends to flee from matters related to religion, politics, and race even though these subjects are intimately connected with athletics, global competition, the media, and many related topics.
This is absolutely incontestable.  
Other sports have tried to engage the matter: basketball, football, boxing, among many additional ones.
When the issue arose with a kid having his haircut before a match, most of the major wrestling sites (e.g., FLO) ignored it. The vast majority of the wrestling community became very defensive.
When Jordan Borroughs posted an article related to wrestling and Black History, the wrestling forums ignored it. 
These examples can be easily multiplied. 
To folks who live in urban areas or who have moved from very conservative communities to more diverse regions, most of the above points are likely pretty obvious.  
Indeed, one of the reasons why amateur wrestling is threatened as a sport is because so many of the supporters are loathe to embrace change or constructive criticism or critique. 
 
 
 
 
 

I think I'm more afraid of ALS than anything else. I don't pray, but the Miklus family is in my thoughts going forward. 
 
I'm so glad he got to have this time with his Dad. 
 
This Mizzou fan will always root for Willie Miklus

I think Askren was #1 and bumped up to face Roger Kish #2 at 184 at the National Duals, back when the Duals was a big deal.

After watching Barlow McGhee get an at-large last season, anything is possible.

Max Askren had a nice start to his freshman year

In the great words of the Miami Hurricanes:
 
If you don't want us to dance, don't let us in the endzone!

What?
 
Huh?

You need to get over it already. The comments from Howard tell a story that is relevant, whether you are butthurt over them or not. 

The year is 2024, Grant Leeth is completing his junior year of eligibilty but also now eligible to run for president...

125- Colby Smith is supposed to be here too

I doubt Brian Smith regrets advocating for his extra year, he is that selfless.

Cleveland was very good but St Louis is the best.

Bryan Snyder

Probably better to set expectations for him aside and just appreciate the fact that he's choosing to test the waters and give seniors a go.

When was Rutgers ever on a road to greatness???

How much can a college kid take from opposing coaching staff?
