jp157 561 Report post Posted May 5 8 hours ago, 1032004 said: Can you give some examples where that happened with guys that were held back and were highly touted? Part of my point was we don’t really know who all was held back for the most part. I do think for the top guys, being held back doesn’t really matter. But for a fringe guy, being held back could be the difference between D1 and D2/3, or getting some scholarship money or not. I’ve personally seen half a dozen cases where it happened and a big part of why a kid didn’t succeed. Or rather peaked too early. You can believe me or don’t. I understand if you don’t but I’m not throwing out names. Even with how annoying he is. What askren has been doing with his development system and producing guys like Otoolle should be the model. The problem is, very few coaches are in the position he’s in where he can enforce his policies of not overdoing kid wrestling and make money Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously there are a lot of kids that peak too early or burnout. I’m just saying I’m not sure if not being held back would have really have changed the outcome for those that did, and of course I don’t know how many of those kids that happened to were even held back to begin with. I will admit that being held back around middle school usually isn’t the best socially (if they need to change schools, make new friends, etc), so yes it’s theoretically possible it could have an impact, but again I just have a feeling most guys who HEW would’ve likely HEW regardless of if they were held back or not.

flyingcement 919 Report post Posted May 8 Given Finesilver's imminent departure from Duke, it appears as if the heir apparent will be little known prospect Gilbert Greatgold. They have one other man at the weight class (Jimmy Respectablebronze) who will be redshirted. 1 Jim L reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyingcement 919 Report post Posted May 18 Garrett Lautzenheiser, who started for West Virginia this season as a true freshman (133), has entered the transfer portal. Best wins of the season were over Gabe Tagg, Kellyn March, and King Sandoval. Lautzenheiser was a state champion as a Junior in Ohio, Placed third and 4th as a freshman and sophomore. And the season was cancelled due to COVID his senior season in 2020. The closest D1 school to his hometown is Kent State which seems to have a spot he could slide into if he wanted to go back home. Alternatively, he may be looking at all sorts of places. 1 Idaho reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He really improved over course of last year, just may not have had best opportunities to start moving forward. 1 1 flyingcement and Antitroll2828 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PSUSMC 343 Report post Posted May 20 Does a multi-time National Champ assistant departing a program to coach/train at an inter-conference university (and associated club) count as the "transfer portal"? If so, it appears this "transfer" is happening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1032004 1,516 Report post Posted May 20 I don't believe there are many multi-time national champions that are currently coaching and may still be training, are there? Maybe missing a couple, but I feel like the options are (in my order of who I think it could be, pure speculation): Jesse Delgado - would probably be my guess due to Beckerman leaving? although not sure if he still trains Gwiz IMar Heil - did he even coach this year? Cenzo - doubt it Ruth - doubt it as his brother is going to where he is Stieber - doubt he'd leave tOSU, and don't think he's really training anymore Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
