Frank_Rizzo 336 Report post Posted January 3, 2018 The NCAA shouldn't even bother contesting these two weights for the remainder of the season. Just give Retherford his third title and Nolf his second. Maybe 157 should also be cancelled next year too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buckshot1969 579 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 Nolf looks so much better this year it’s scary. Imagine Zain Retherford being the 2nd best wrestler on a team... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WillieBoy 713 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 Injury, illness and even their own Larry Owings may well be waiting in the wings. Get a cold at the wrong time. Slip on some ice while opening the door to the car, an opponent rolls over an ankle - whatever. It can and does happen. As the man said, "it ain't over til it's over".

Frank_Rizzo 336 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) Nolf and Retherford are the two of most dominant wrestlers in collegiate history. The best ever at their respective weights, IMO. They're right there with Dake, Askren, and Sanderson. And yes, all things being equal, I'd take Retherford over Gable as seniors in college. I'm getting sick of hearing the word dominant in the context of wrestling because it's overused, but I can't think of any other word to describe these two. There is absolutely no doubt of the result before they step on the mat. Edited January 4, 2018 by Frank_Rizzo 1 TBar1977 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treep2000 1,140 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 Nolf is mid-level jump right now. If he and Imart banged again, I'm not sure on the result, and it may actually favor Nolf finally. If Nolf chooses to dedicate to freestyle, he will absolutely be our 70kg rep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTG119 820 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 I highly doubt either lose, though I do think Kemerer is going to close the gap a little this year. overall though....never say never. 'bout this time last year it was all about Gabe the Destroyer of Worlds and how no one had a shot. 1 pamela reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pamela 1,334 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 Well except for that Steiber guy that dominated Zain. Zain is one of the three or so losses Stieber had in college, and he did it as a true freshman. I'm not trying to support the "most dominant wrestler" claim, just responding to your comment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Sorenson has a better chance at upsetting if he actually uses his new offensive weapons and doesn't try to slow things up too much. Which he will probably do. Feb 10 is going to be great.

denny 216 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 Not sure how this would go. Although we are mostly talking here in a fantasy scenario. That said I am thinking about (sr season) Larkin vs The Train. Erik was so dominant throughout his sr season. He won everything that was available to win.....just saying. Nevertheless, Larkin accomplished that 4-3-2-1 thang. Always have thought of that as - very cool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treep2000 1,140 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 I think this depends on exactly how far Nolf is perceived to have improved/level jumped, in terms of his dominance. Frankly, he's taking his mastery of the sport to that of an art form. Like a wrestling version of Picasso, or Dali. Zain is showing elements of that as well, with his top game. Snyder shows it from neutral. Nolf shows it from all elements and positions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
