LemonPie 1,368 Report post Posted November 16, 2017 Not really highly regarded as far as recruits go, but rolling the dice by taking all three Dixon brothers was a mistake. That's harder to overcome than one flop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerlockthree 2,581 Report post Posted November 16, 2017 Thats a good point. How do you even get triplets into the lineup? Kinda an odd move from the get go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TobusRex 2,107 Report post Posted November 16, 2017 @LemonPie and hammerlock: Yeah, was pretty weird signing triplets. All were projected to wrestle roughly the same weight in college (they were in 3 adjacent weights in HS), so it didn't make much sense to me. Just take the best of the 3 and be done with it. Anyway that was a Mark Cody decision. But wasn't Dean ranked #71 in his HS class? So I was hopeful that a #100-ish guy could at least get one AA, but no joy.

Cruiser94 17 Report post Posted November 16, 2017 There is definitely a better way to go about a thread like this. I can't believe anyone would call Marsteller a flop prior to him finishing school. I am all for discussion but not at the expense of belittling college athletes. Especially college wrestlers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PSUMike 445 Report post Posted November 16, 2017 David Craig was the #1 overall recruit and never AA'd. Big case of HEW. Seems to resent the sport in retrospect. Blood round as a fr. Academically ineligible as a soph. 2-2 as a jr. 1-2 as a sen. Strong in-season results but never performed in March. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Housebuye 2,418 Report post Posted November 16, 2017 Whoever said Dean Heil would take over the worst 3-timer sure looks at things different than I do. I don't think you know how big Jake Rosholt came up for the Pokes during their 4 Peat. When he was a freshman, he lost by bonus in the Big 12 Finals. He was a low seed and defeated 3 high seeds to win it, including scoring bonus on the guy who had thumped him in the big 12 finals. The only year he didn't win a title was the only year he was ranked 1st. Now, with Dean, I'm sorry he doesn't impress you, but he's one tough bugger. His winning streak is longer than Mudflap's Mullet. The test of his greatness, will be if he can adapt to the new rule which basically penalizes him about 10 points before every match begins, lol.Pretty sure he was mocking OP and wasn’t bashing Heil 1 Peso reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Housebuye 2,418 Report post Posted November 16, 2017 Didn't Steveson thump several college wrestlers in an open tourney a couple weeks ago? That was pretty impressive for a HS Jr.It was a spelling joke Either way, Gable is a high school senior Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flying-Tiger 617 Report post Posted November 16, 2017 Approximately half of all top 10 recruits don't AA even once so the criteria is going to have to be pretty low to win this honor. Failure to qualify for NCAAs, non starter, ect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle26 580 Report post Posted November 17, 2017 Ok I have to admit I have seen the "who is Gable Stevenson" several times before and thought it was just a joke about him not even being in college yet or something. I did not even realize it was Steveson until just now lol! 2 JBluegill133 and LoStNuMbEr reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConnorsDad 596 Report post Posted November 17, 2017 Didn't Steveson thump several college wrestlers in an open tourney a couple weeks ago? That was pretty impressive for a HS Jr. Yes he did. In my mind he is the greatest High School wrestler there's ever been and it's not even close. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSU158 1,980 Report post Posted November 17, 2017 Yes he did. In my mind he is the greatest High School wrestler there's ever been and it's not even close. I can live you with saying he is the best, but not even close? Did you see Kolat wrestle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConnorsDad 596 Report post Posted November 17, 2017 Solutely and he is my favorite wrestler and my sons and anybody that even looks like us, LOL. It's just Gable did it at heavyweight or 220 and Cadet world champion twice and Junior world champ. How about they're Far and Away the two best to ever compete. One upper weight and one lower weight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jchapman 1,320 Report post Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Yes he did. In my mind he is the greatest High School wrestler there's ever been and it's not even close. Dave Schultz placed 2nd at Tbilisi when he was in high school. Jimmy Carr wrestled in the Olympics when he was a junior. Those guys aren't even close?

Konquest 155 Report post Posted November 17, 2017 Steve Mocco was just as good as Steveson in HS. As in, "would step in and be a threat to AA or even win NCAA's as a HS junior or senior". People have short memories. 1 BadgerMon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrambler 43 Report post Posted November 18, 2017 Okay, Okay, let me put my ego on the shelf and admit I was the biggest flop in college. I mean a JV district title in high school, only finishing as a runner-up in the CAA, and never qualifying for the NCAA was a real let down to my family........ Hopefully they invite me to thanksgiving this year.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
