Jimmy Cinnabon 411 Report post Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) It seems that Cornell the answer currently. Yianni, Garrett, Dake are all top notch. 2nd place is probably Ohio State - Snyder, McKenna, Stieber (until recently). 3rd is probably a tie between Iowa, Nebraska, Mizzou and Ok State. Gilman, Ramos, Eierman, Cox, Green, JB, Dierenger, etc. The big question is why isn't PSU better....sure they have Taylor (pray he isn't severely hurt) but other than that no real freestyle studs. Until recently Retherford seemed to be their best hope but Yianni is otherworldly. Edited May 7, 2019 by Jimmy Cinnabon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westfan 1 Report post Posted May 8, 2019 Is it a colleges job to produce freestylers? Colleges wrestle folkstyle so success in that area should be all they are judged on. Its not a colleges job to get the 1% of their wrestlers ready for the world stage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinnum 846 Report post Posted May 8, 2019 The answer is probably a school that isn't being discussed. If we put a system to judge this, we would probably use college wrestling performance as an indicator of basic wrestling abilities and then see how the freestyle results compare. So what school seems to overachieve in freestyle compared to how they perform in folkstyle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoonMasta 5 Report post Posted May 8, 2019 For Cornell you mention YianniD and Garrett who have achieved nothing on the world stage yet you don't mention Bo Nickal and Jason Nolf whom I'm predicting will earn medals at some point in the future This is a pretty moot argument, though. Achieving success on the world stage isn't something to be attributed to any University. It is extremely difficult to even make a World/Olympic Team because you have multiple time NCAA Champions in your whole bracket. Success on the world stage relies on an individual's work ethic and passion. No university can teach those things to any wrestler. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Martini Report post Posted May 8, 2019 PSU world team & Olympic members Taylor, Zain, Ed Ruth, Frank Molinaro. So better than Iowa Jimmy. Also Varner has been at PSU and coached by Cael all his freestyle career. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yikes. By the way, Yianni has two world gold medals on the world stage (albeit at Cadet), and Garrett has made the US world team. Get back to us when Nolf and Nickal have even come that close to the "world stage." 1 Relentless125 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
