Hey Wrestling Fans,
I started a wrestling podcast back in April and do a new episode every Monday with a new guest (usually college wrestlers). At this point I have 29 episodes out with a lot of guys you'll know. I think a lot of the episodes in the vault uncover really cool stuff so I'm gonna share a couple of my best ones.
My favorites:
Ep. 7 Kyle Conel (his positivity is contagious, I loved this one and Kyle is great)
Ep. 9 Evan Wick (I can't believe he eats sushi before every weigh in...)
Ep. 16 Albie McKinney (a D3 Finalist that experienced some really sad things)
Ep. 22 Dave Malecek (all stories and a wild Dave Schultz story that is hilarious)
Ep. 24 Tyler Berger (longer but super good if you enjoy people with strong mentalities.)
Ep. 25 Jack Medley (good if you like running, all round great optimistic dude)
Ep. 27: Anthony Ashnault (the top episode)
Ep. 28: Anthony Echemendia (goes in depth on some of the scary stuff he experienced on his way here)

Thank you.
I love all of these stories. Temoer is a great guy, I met him a few years back and have kept in touch with him.
I only wrestled one day in my life, when I was in second grade. The third grade teacher at our elementary school had a son who was a senior in high school and he came into our gym class and taught us some wrestling moves and we got to each wrestle three matches. I went 2-1 that day then retired from wrestling. The senior who taught us that day was Mark Reiland. I don't remember if he had the sweet mullet that day, but he ended up having a pretty nice career.
Lehigh had a hwt 30 years back with the last name of Meadows. He was doing something like this picture (minus the levitation) before a match. I yelled out that he was Meadow-tating! He cracked up. I guess he wasn't really meditating.
Penn State would have won it this year. If Cenzo can believe it, then I can believe it too. Lol.
I got better things to do than to fret about what I can't control. I am going to hike 100 plus miles of the Appalachian Trail and get 15 to 20K verticle feet of elevation gain the next several days.
Turk quietly had a really good year last year. His only two losses were to Lugo in rideouts at wrestle offs (#1 seed at NCAAs) and O'Connor in OT at Midlands (#2 seed). Only official loss was to O'Connor. He had nice wins over Storr and Clarke. He'd definitely be an AA contender at 149 if he came back. I was hoping he might give it another shot at a different school for one last year. He's definitely a strong candidate for an extra year. He blew out his shoulder in his first match of his freshmen year when many thought he would have been the starter over Carton.
I think I read that Vince Turk applied for an extra season since he only wrestled one match due to injury his sophomore year I believe. Definitely wouldn’t score as many points as Jaydin, but would certainly be a solid option.
Mejia had already been announced more than 2 months prior to this The tweet onJune 18th says “the feeling you get when you get another big time commitment.” So it appears they landed someone.

I've seen this as a projected lineup and think it's probably their best bet. I think there's some questions still about where Micic and Myles Amine go, but I'd kind of be surprised if this wasn't it.
125 - Medley / McHenry
133 - Micic
141 - Silva
149 - Storr
157 - Lewan
165 - C. Amine
174 - Massa
184 - M. Amine
197 - Embree / Davison
Hwt - Parris
Little Rock was in their very first year - as far as the sport of wrestling is concerned. So their last place finish in the PAC 12 in 2020 was not exactly unexpected. It's difficult to start up a wrestling program at any level, whether it be N.A.I.A., Division III or Division II, etc. But to start up a new wrestling program at the Division I level and compete with teams from a conference that's been around as long as the PAC 12/PAC 10, etc., is a very daunting task IMO. That having been said I think, objectively speaking, that Little Rock fared pretty well in their very first collegiate wrestling season ever.
Little Rock returns all of their starters from last season as one would expect from a first year program. Their best placer last season at the 2020 PAC 12 tournament was Paul Bianchi 2nd place finish at 133 lbs. Bianchi, who competed three seasons at North Dakota State before transferring to Little Rock, will be a RS Senior for the 2021 season. Little Rock's 2nd best placer last season was Conner Ward's 4th place finish at 141 lbs. Four of the other seven starters for Little Rock placed 5th at the 2020 PAC 12 tournament. Namely Jayden Carson at 125 lbs, Jose Champagne at 157 lbs, Matt Muller at 184 lbs and Dylan Johnson at 197 lbs. Three Little Rock starters last season placed 6th (last) at the 2020 PAC 12 tournament. That being Tyler Brennan at 149 lbs, William Edgar at 165 lbs and Tristan Tadeo at 174 lbs. Little Rock did not have anyone competing at 285 lbs for most of last season.
The good news for Little Rock is that all of their 2020 starters - except for their original starter at 174 lbs (Cash Jones) will be back for 2021. However nearly all of those 2020 starters will be challenged by the transfers and incoming freshmen who Little Rock has added for the 2021 season.
=============================
The probable lineup for Little Rock's wrestling team for the 2021 season is as follows: (Returning Starters listed in Bold print. Of couse this is all subject to change as some wrestlers may move up (or down) from their present weight class and there may be transfers involved which would affect this probable lineup in the next few months. I have listed each weight class (below) by each wrestler's WrestleStat ranking. However incoming Freshmen will not be ranked in the same manner. They will be listed last at each weight class.

Don't believe they had O-rs in 80s. Worth noting Smith took regular RS after So year (lost to Jordan in finals) competed in FS that year (also dont believe he competed for Ntl team). Jr year won NCAA then made Ntl team & won World. Sr year won NCAA and Olympic. I'd say his RS after So year did help him at international FS but wasn't directly that same year.
LITTLE ROCK WRESTLING TEAM LINEUP FOR 2020-2021 SEASON
All rankings here are via WrestleStat. Returning starters are listed in Bold print.
I reviewed their new recruits for 2021 and I see quite a few fairly impressive additions to their team. Namely Brewer, Slyter and Sarpy at 125 (or 133). Matt Bianchi and Cade Manion at 141. Cougar Anderson at 165. Tyler Ross at 174. Sacharczyk at 184. Davis and Carter at 197. Josiah Hill at 285. They put together a fairly impressive recruiting class for most any program let alone a team that's only existed for one year.
