Hall and Lee to Nebraska?

[BigTimeFan 973]

Considering that JB personally invited Mark Hall to train with him before the worlds, I think Hall to Nebraska is very much in the cards. Superb recruiting. Share your success. Pitch "I will pass the torch to you". 

[Billyhoyle 1,988]

And if you really want to insure Olympic success, make them go to high school in NJ!  Amazing that we continue to talk about how if we want to really be successful in freestyle, we need to be wrestling that style since youth and both Burroughs and Green didn't really start freestyle until college...

You make this same argument in the other thread, and we explain to you there why it doesn't make any sense.  Mark Schultz won an olympic gold after starting in 9th grade. Maybe we'd all be better if we started wrestling in 9th Grade.

Actually, my point here is different.  If you are going to pick out a year what program is best at developing freestyle talent , you can make the same irrelevant point about what state they wrestled for(Burroughs, Green, and Reyes).

[Katie 732]

Getting things backwards can lead to puzzlement funk. 

Let's think about your position, shall we?

 

1) Before Snyder, only five wrestlers won a world-level title in the same year as an NCAA, and it only happened six times. All six times, the wrestlers were NCAA champs, and five of six times they were undefeated. In the sixth world-championship season, the wrestler had one loss, but avenged that loss convincingly. In contrast, Snyder this past year had four losses and was not an NCAA champ. IMO that's an issue to at least think about. In your opinion, there's nothing to see there. 

 

2) IMO, Snyder's world title shows he was head and shoulders above the competition last season in terms of skill. In your opinion, he was not head and shoulders above his competition during the season, but somehow had a meteoric burst in skill level just after the NCAA season ended. 

 

Whether you want to face facts is up to you.

[de4856 360]

Well hats off to Kyle. Yes he had some losses at College this year, but let's face it 197 in College this year had a boat load of studs there, so I'm not so hung up and concerned about Kyle having a few losses and a 2nd place finish at the NCAA's. Besides that that was Folksryle, this is Freestyle. Whatever is happening with Kyle, seems to be working, and I hope it continues. I would love to see Kyle rack up a gaggle of medals, like a Burroughs or some of our other greats from the past.

Face facts?  It is a fact that the NCAAs came before the World Championships. To make a claim that requires the opposite to be true, as you did, is absurd (as my philosophy profs liked to say). My position? It is that you misworded your slap at Ohio State.

 

Judge to what degree the following is true:

Premise: under the tutelage of TOSU and Ohio Regional Training Center coaches and older workout partners, a young four loss NCAA wrestler developed into a senior world champion in short order.

 

This allows an apples-to-apples counter by you. By all means make your case if you think it important enough.

[GranbyTroll 430]

If JB is committed to Nebraska and Mark Hall is committed to folkstyle, why would Mark Hall NOT go to Nebraska?

 

That's racist

 

[headshuck 2,203]

Um, I'm guessing it's related to JB choosing Hall as one of his workout partners recently? It was discussed here somewhere.

[Jim46 5]

JB has the same career if he attends Pitt,  Virginia, or Ryder.

Well there you have it. You think Snyder saved a rapid and considerable improvement until after the NCAA season ended. Now why would he do that? Why not rapidly improve just before NCAAs?

[LkwdSteve 141]

"You think"

 

You don't know what I thought. I didn't give an opinion on the premise provided. I doubt I'm qualified.

 

Since you think you are, go ahead and tell us about Snyder "saving" or "not saving" improvements, however the hell one does that.

 

Put it under the heading of "how TOSU impeded Kyle Snyder".  Or, perhaps, "how Kyle Snyder would have been better off at Penn State". Tell us all about it. Write clearly and use good logic.

[TBar1977 3,842]

Circling back to Mark Hall, Corey Haddad the high school guy from AWN just reported that Hall is down to Penn State and Ohio State. He reports that Hall will make official visits to Penn State on Oct. 10, then C'bus on Oct. 18, then decide on Oct. 22.

Lee Kemp started late as well.

Really???? There has been some stupid posts put on this board. This is right there

[silver-medal 670]

Katie:  You do realize that freestyle and collegiate style are not the same.  

[Cletus_Tucker 890]

Burroughs was on a world team in High school

 

Schultz began wrestling high school is a junior.   

 

Hall is likely leaning toward Penn State

[Aviator12 196]

I'm wondering how tOSU turned a world champ into a 4-loss wrestler. I'm genuinely puzzled.

Considering Snyder has been very vocal in giving credit to his entire set up at Ohio State, from the coaches, teammates and all way down to his training partners at the OTC, wouldn't arguing the opposite make more sense.

 

Snyder has flat out said he was getting teched by JD Bergman when he first got on campus, mind you this was a year after training the entire year at Colorado OTC and right around the very beginning of his freshman season.

 

A Snyder who was getting teched by Bergman sounds parallel to a true freshman only taking 4 losses and becoming NCAA runner up where he got caught. The Snyder today does not get teched by Bergman, obviously.

 

So my argument would not be how did a 4X loss collegian win Worlds, it would be Ohio State and everything it encompasses relative to Snyder was conducive in taking a 4X loss collegian and helped develop he into a World champ in less than one year.

 

Sound preposterous? Ask Snyder yourself, he'll say the same.

[TBar1977 3,842]

It is obviously a little of both. If it were ONLY the athlete, then coaching doesn't matter. But coaching obviously matters, so it can't be only the athlete. If it were ONLY the coaches, then the athlete doesn't matter. This also can't be true.

 

Reece Humphrey, Dlagnev and Logan Stieber all train in the same room and none of them won worlds, so there is something specific about Snyder that allowed him to take in that same coaching and turn it into World Gold. 

[gimpeltf 1,531]

Burroughs was on a world team in High school

 

????

He won World Juniors maybe two years after graduating from HS

[dtl38 79]

If I am remembering correctly Burroughs made the University world team

After his junior year in college and placed 7th.

 

If he was on a world team in HS it is odd that the only D1 teams to offer him a scholarship were Indiana and Nebraska

Wow. Please put down the crack pipe. 

[PhiferFuqua 187]

If he had attended "Ryder," his career probably would have involved truck rentals

Not sure what to make of news that Hall is visiting Minnesota this weekend. If it was down to Ohio State and Penn State why bother?

I don't know how much of an insider Haddad is with these guys.  Didn't he have Micic to Arizona State?

But Dlagnev has medaled and Humphrey 5th.  

People speak of Gold like it should just happen because............

So disrespectful to the accomplishment.
