silver-medal 670 Report post Posted May 27, 2014 I'm amazed at how often he's overlooked in discussions concerning next year. He's got three career losses, a 3rd and 1st at NCAA's and he kicked the holy heck out of a red hot Dylan Ness in the finals. I'm a huge BoJo fan but no way can he be considered close to Dieringer at this point. Same for anyone else at 165. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smittyfan 42 Report post Posted May 27, 2014 Speaking as a fan, he's the kind of guy you like to have on your team. Great wrestler, and by all accounts he carries that excellence into all aspects of his life. Very happy he's a Cowboy!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teach 175 Report post Posted May 27, 2014 I think he is use to it. He was always kind of forgotten in HS conversations as well? I would rather be forgotten and win than be all the talk and lose I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D-1 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2014 I'm actually not surprised to see him in some of these post season freestyle outings...He did take a silver @ the worlds...Wondering if he's just off season transitioning to 165? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwosackJon 1 Report post Posted May 27, 2014 Ness did look kinda lost against him. He stuffed all the funk that Ness threw at him. Looking forward to seeing him compete again for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScarletKnight 80 Report post Posted May 28, 2014 is he definitely going 165? too bad he never wrestled Green (I doubt he wins that one) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrestlingnerd 3,000 Report post Posted May 28, 2014 Dieringer is definitely going 165. He has been very consistent about that since even before the season ended. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SetonHallPirate 988 Report post Posted May 28, 2014 I can guarantee this...unless something changes, Dieringer won't be getting an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships next year, and will have to survive the at-large hopper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smittyfan 42 Report post Posted May 28, 2014 He's quietly amassing quite a record. 165 should be a challenge, but his continued growth and improvement has been impressive so far, so I'm thinking he might be a qualifier, eh Jason, hahahaha. AD vs Ness is reminiscent of Pendleton/Askren...just seems to "usually" shut down the funk, but Ben felt even more dangerous to me...although some appreciate Ness's funk even more.

Oh, he'll be a qualifier (barring an injury). He'll just have to go through the at-large procedure, as the Big 12, as a whole, will be getting a whopping total of zero automatic bids going forward.

He's the champ but it doesnt mean hed beat green. Green was pinned by a guy he beat decisively at the national duals. Dieringer has a bunch of losses to DSJ, who Green beats up on. We'll never know. Dieringer seems like a strong guy, but no one has been able to stop greens takedowns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dieringer seems like a strong guy, but no one has been able to stop greens takedowns What terrible logic. Since Green loses before getting a chance to face him every year at NCAAs "we'll never know." I bet there's about half a dozen 157 pounders who went 0-2 or 1-2 at NCAAs this year that Green has never wrestled. Do you apply the same logic? That "we will never know" if Green could beat those guys? That you "doubt" Green would beat them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're talking about the 1 seed here, do we really need to wonder how he'd do against unseeded guys who went 0-2? He beat the defending champ this year and both guys who beat him, he destroyed everyone in the ncaas except for ness (wbo he destroyed at the national duals) I'd love to see him against AD, I dont know who would win.

headshuck 2,589 Report post Posted May 29, 2014 "Destroyed" loses a lot of meaning when the destroyer gets stuck. Reminds me of... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
headshuck 2,589 Report post Posted May 29, 2014 On a more serious note, the Green vs Ness II match was one of the biggest turnarounds I remember of last season. I'd love to see video of Minnesota and Nebraska coaches preparing their wrestler for that match. Ness seemed to "double down" in the second match knowing he'd have little chance of winning a more conservative match. Was the wide open style coached or did they tell Dylan to let it fly?

smittyfan 42 Report post Posted May 30, 2014 40 years ago a stud like Ringer comes through and he's a shoe in to continue to dominate. These days, not only must a great wrestler like Alex continue to improve, but he must also adjust to new tactical challenges manifested by the availability of video for practically all of the matches of highly ranked wrestlers. It just seems like a strange period in college wrestling, where most of the champs keep getting figured out, and freshmen just keep coming in and being totally DI ready.
