Re: Amos Unranked

I could also see Amos going to Hwy next year and easily AA if weight becomes an issue. He reminds me of Snyder hitting singles and doubles on guys a lot bigger.

Re: Amos Unranked

An early season loss could be weight loss issue or an injury. I have no idea that is the reason but I have seen this happen to more than a few national champ throughout their career. I don't like that you go from a 215lb weight class in HS to 197lb or Hwy. in college. At a MINIMUM I see Amos AA this...

He took true 2nd in freestyle and first in Greco so he will compete in both at the O trials. His ear looked bad. Great job.

Re: Braxton Amos at States

Agree 100 percent with Mason and I'm up in the Northern Panhandle. Enjoy the years that Braxton wrestled in WV. You may never see another at his level in HS again. He is the best that I ever saw unless someone can point out a wrestler who had a better HS career in WV wrestling history.

Re: Another year of no WVU All Americans

At the NCAA championships in Pittsburgh I met with several WVU wrestling alumni (few were past AAs) at a party. Everyone was in agreement regarding Flynn being capable of turning the team around. They also liked the current recruits coming in.

I see WVU wrestling struggling the next few years. Recruiting new talent will be the focus, most will likely be redshirting.
