I’ve listened to all of them Lee. I didn’t finish this most recent episode. It’s your opinion, but when you called Eirman Columbia trailer trash, I believe that’s what you referred to him as, I decided it wasn’t my cup of tea. Bashing college kids doesn’t really get me excited anymore. I’ve done it before and always tried to apologize.
Thanks for the correction bro. 25. Doesn’t change much as far as the numbers. Glad to see that’s all you gathered from that.
Jason Nolf made the finals as a freshman as well, so PSU has 8? That year he lost to Martinez from Illinois. 26 total.
It’s been frustrating Lee, but when PSU loses Cenzo, Hall, Nickal, Nolf, and Retherford (what is that like 18 finals appearances) they reload with Brooks and Starocci. They’ve now got transfers coming into fill the gaps. RBY, Nick Lee, Cassar, Matt Brown, and Quentin Wright had more traditional development, which the top schools can compete with.
Adam has some stones. He's the first person I've seen ask John about the CowboyRTC.
Yeah I like this Adam guy.Asks the tough questions.John did not have much to say about future plans so looks like he has not really changed or understands what has changed around him in college wrestling.
What did it for me with Surber is when he lost to an unranked, underclassmen, that weighed the exact same as he did at weigh-ins. I believe it was against UNI?
I think it's a little too early to count him out. He might weigh the same, but he needs time to get his strength up to where it should be. He's got the ability to be a good wrestler, just not the size I think. He definitely needs to put some work in this off-season
I remember John saying he was trying to teach Z how to wrestle without hurting his opponents or himself. That slip against Tony Nelson in the semis, damn.
I’m with you Lee. He’s transitioning into a HWT. He’s beat out a Round of 12 guy for the spot. I’ve seen improvement and short of a transfer coming in we need him to get stronger and keep improving.
I agree here. Surber is a competitor. He has a drive. Sure he's had some head-scratching losses but every match I've seen of his he goes hard.
Thanks for sharing the Youtube knowledge. Now our team and coaches should all go watch how DeSanto gets out from bottom at the whistle.
Coach dodged these questions pretty hard. "We get paid to run a college program. Anything beyond that is volunteer". Youch. Yeah, props to Adam for asking questions that John is probably tired of getting asked.
Bet. That leg wingroll will have/has had diminishing returns. It's like that baseball slide shot he used to do: it worked a few time bc it was so technically suspect that guys didn't see it coming.
G also has a high c now like Daton. He just didn't get to it against Murin. To me it looked like he got caught up in a hand fighting/pushing match.
Which is what Iowa wants. They want you to get distracted by heavy clubs and forward motion. Most of them, Spencer Lee being a major exception, don't have much offense outside of that. It's just so relentless that guys get distracted by it.
Yes, many Iowa guys wrestle that way. I would say Kemerer is another exception besides Spencer Lee.
For sure.Terrible response.Kind of like yeah if we have any scraps left we will toss them to the RTC.Not sure he has the drive he once did.
Pretty bad when I think Cassioppi has the most offense out of all of these guys.
He said he coaches the college team and that is what he gets paid to do. Anything else is volunteer work. An attorney might think John is doing a great job of separating the university from any type of NCAA violation. I’m not sure, just throwing out a different perspective. I’d be happy if we had team fox catcher level talent rolling around teaching the college guys daily.
