Re: Recruiting

What is considered recruiting by an HS/Club coach? Locations to workout during the summer and fall are limited in our area. Was just looking for a place for him to get on the mat. Not an HS/Club coach who makes comments like you need come and wrestle for a good team/coach. We know several realtors ...

Re: Misguided Youth in Training

I'd have to see the full motion but at a guess i'd say it looks like a Russian Twist with weight on a barbell.

i'd also guess that this athlete is not misguided. Those of us with a core that resembles a keg more so than a 6 pack usually shy away from workouts like this.

Re: WV Natives at NCAA DI

Diehl is out. But as a Junior still has one more shot at AA status. Good Luck Ryan! Jake Smith had a long road back after the loss in the first round. He was close coming within 1 match of the blood round. Thank You Jake for the memories! It has been a blast watching you compete. Jared Haught is sti...

Or...as was already suggested, implement a camera and challenge system, that way all mistakes can be resolved, not just this one issue.

Re: West Virginia High school State championship

Easily the best idea I have heard all season. Even if it isn't 2 extra scoring officials 1 extra not sitting with or being updated by a anyone else at the table. This doesn't fix the past, but it can help future events.

I agree... nothing trumps mat time. Personally, I would hate if they tried to lessen the amount of these bigger dual tournaments. But i do like the idea of increasing the benefits of dual meets and tri meets. I LOVED IndyHart's comment last year on making them 1/2 weigh ins. I think this could give ...
