TobusRex 1,287 Report post Posted June 3, 2018 very very true. I was commenting directly after TobusRex who said something about a former juco guy getting 4th in D1. Just pointing out an even more extreme example of juco excellence at next level. No, you were pointing out an INSANE example of Juco excellence! I didn't even know Williams was a JUCO guy, I thought he probably rode the pine as a FR. I enjoyed reading up on the guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoyed reading up on the guy. cool. one thing from article they had wrong for some reason, as soph he won it at 149, not 157 (bumped there for last two years). beat Tony Davis Northern Iowa in finals who won it the next year when TJ bumped. My memory may be off but I think TJ and Tony were from same HS. 1 MikePorcelli reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My memory may be off but I think TJ and Tony were from same HS. Yep. Chicago Mt. Carmel Caravan. Also the same kids' club (Harvey Park District "Twisters"), which is, bar none, the most successful youth wrestling program in the country in terms of what their alums have gone on to do in the sport. 1 KTG119 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonewolf 19 Report post Posted June 7, 2018 According to LemonPie the guy you're talking about is in the 10% of juco champs. Yep...hahahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silver-medal 664 Report post Posted June 10, 2018 All Mackall ever needed was to stay healthy and develop a gas tank. KD and his staff will handle the gas tank issue so all Alex needs is a little good luck in remaining healthy. Mackall had a high school win over Yianni. He's a talented young man. As a fan of Ohio preps, I'm rooting for him to put it together for ISU. 3 treep2000, buf87 and MikePorcelli reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buf87 71 Report post Posted June 12, 2018 The plan is to keep him on redshirt this year. A small chance it might come off in January Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LemonPie 1,340 Report post Posted June 12, 2018 Is Todd Small going to try 125? He didn't look all that large at 133. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Housebuye 1,662 Report post Posted June 12, 2018 The plan is to keep him on redshirt this year. A small chance it might come off in JanuaryOh interesting. I have to assume if he has a shot at AAing they will pull the shirt. Would be huge for ISU to have at least 1 AA. I think Gomez has a good shot too.

buf87 71 Report post Posted June 12, 2018 I think it is more David’s thought, than the coaches. It was mentioned at Nationals social. Basically saying David was ready to go, but coaches are willing to wait Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OhioSpladle 35 Report post Posted June 14, 2018 Well...the addition of Miklus will certainly change the outlook of the cyclones a bit for next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fudge_tunnel 106 Report post Posted June 14, 2018 Flo has announced that Willie Miklus (8/6/7 AA finishes) will wrestle his last year at ISU for the 2019 season. This is surprisingly, maybe he just wanted to finish college close to home. I can’t imagine any other reason - the Mizzou room is much tougher, and they have a shot at a team trophy. ISU has no shot at anything as a team, and the room for him will be a joke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buf87 71 Report post Posted June 17, 2018 Good luck to "Ol' Willie 6th Year"! What does the tentative ISU lineup look like for next year? My guess is 125 - Mackall (Rutgers transfer) or Small (Juco Nat'l Champ at 133) 133 - Gomez 141 - Ian Parker 149 - Degen 157 - Chase Straw 165 - Skyler St John or Brady Jennings 174 - Marcus Coleman 184 - Sam Colbray or Danny Bush 197 - Miklus Hwt - Gannon Gremmel or Ethan Andersen (OSU transfer) 1 MikePorcelli reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
