Love to see the guys having fun. But, they've had some REALLY hard practices since Coach Taylors arrival.It’s interesting that we didn’t notice a few Wrestlers.
But, this has been talked about publicly for several years. It’s even been said PSU doesn’t have injuries because they only play “wall ball” instead of grueling practice sessions.
As long as they understand the point of those hard practices which I'm sure was explained to them, then great. I think it is a terrific sign that DT is a serious coach. He is separating the wheat from the chaff and getting to know who has the fire in the belly. He'll probably continue them during the season too at strategic times to keep their levels up. Cael usually does it in January, and you can tell because the whole team seems to come out flat for a meet.Love to see the guys having fun.

Are you able to expand on that a little? I remember the story of Quentin Wright. Two time champ and three time finalist. The team couldn't leave practice one night until every guy got out from bottom. Q had to get out from under Matt Brown, a real hammer on top. Took Q 45 minutes to get out. I can not imagine doing that for 45 minutes in front of my teammates.Love to see the guys having fun. But, they've had some REALLY hard practices since Coach Taylors arrival.
Same hahaI’m busting at the seams with anticipation. Fairly unhealthy
Just told by someone close to the program that several of the practices have been no joke. No details on what that entails but I was told what some of the guys were weighing after some of these practices and I was like holy crap!Are you able to expand on that a little?

That's great. Sounds like guys are buying into what Taylor is selling. It will become true that the hardest days wrestling will be in your room, and not in matches and tournaments. Can't wait to see your guys at the Scuffle. Hope your team goes.Just told by someone close to the program that several of the practices have been no joke.

Yes! This year John talked about the practice schedule after B12. I couldn't believe it. Its like a marathon, there's nothing you can do in the two weeks prior that will help you, only things that might hurt you. Look at Cleveland Steven Schmidt, 40-0 #1 seed, tore his ACL in practice between conf & NCAA, cost us a team title. How does that happen?Caels teams always peak in March....ALWAYS! You can damn well bet Taylor knows the approach it takes to pull that off. To me, that's the biggest gain OSU will get from hiring David. Well...second to what his ability will eventually prove out to be recruiting wise.

And Willie wonders why I think social media is bad for undeveloped brains. Carter has had a few bad takes this spring/summer. I hope someone takes his phone away, but unfortunately opinions like this get the clicks and the money. What a great world we live in.Carter Starocci is an idiot. This is a very bad opinion.
Yeah, coaching staff or someone needs to interveneAnd Willie wonders why I think social media is bad for undeveloped brains. Carter has had a few bad takes this spring/summer.

Talk about fabricating drama. Normal question got a normal answer.Carter Starocci is an idiot. This is a very bad opinion.
Man, Coach Constant would let us play wrestle ball every once and a while. There will be blood , lol
I agree.Yazdani is the favorite. I pick him aswell right now. Big deal
In my opinion, DT gave a completely milk toast answer, befitting a D1 coach, from a different team.I agree.
Why ask DT the question if you don't want his answer. Great, everyone from PSU says they would have answered the question differently...problem is, nobody asked any of them because nobody gives a shit what they think.
That’s the kind of answer a professional gives. You don’t want sound clipsI'm okay with DTs answer. Panties in a bunch comes to mind by some.
Exactly how I took it!That’s the kind of answer a professional gives. You don’t want sound clips
