    OTT Session 3

    For the record, Matthew 6:5-6: << And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and...

    U23 gold plus U20 silver and U17 gold. Brooks was #2 p4p H.S. class of 2018, only Gable Steveson ranked higher. About as blue chip as they come.

    Agree. The only cracks are one PSU guy getting beat by another, e.g. Brooks over Taylor. Given the PSU recruits who looked good at OTTs (Lilledahl, Mirasola), as well as other young PSU collegiate stars doing well (Bartlett, Facundo, Mesinbrink), plus unbelievable recruit classes coming in the...

    If they got Blaze, that would give PSU a staggering 8 out of 20 of the top 20 p4p H.S. kids by FLO rankings. Iowa gets 1. One can see it coming ....in another year or two we can marvel how Cael develops wrestlers so they can win yet another team title. But who knows .... with hard work, we'll...

    I've found I can only rewind back about 1.5 hours or so. I can't rewatch Spencer's match now. Are some folks able to rewind to beginning of day?

    I think free refers only for the finals on TV (USA network, if you have that) Peacock was the only way you could watch live streaming yesterday and this morning's session, and that required a monthly or yearly subscription.

    Fix is a silver world medalist, Pan American gold, and won numerous other U.S. national tournaments. Has past wins over Gilman, Arujau, Graf, Gross, and other quality wrestlers. Sounds like kind of a pushover, right?

    Agree. MM was exciting to watch at ncaa, but acted like a jerk vs JB. Waaay too much of clubbing the head, and JB got tired of it. Glad to see JB teach MM a lesson.

    The Importance of Recruiting

    Iowa had some very high recruits? I see only 2 that were top 20 p4p - Ayala and Kennedy. Am I missing anyone? As Ayala finished as runner up, only Kennedy fell short. The OP is correct - recruiting is paramount and PSU far outdistances Iowa (and everyone else) in that regard.

    How far beyond has Iowa fallen?

    Sanderson never had the powerhouse recruiting at Iowa State like he does at Penn State. Without top 10 pound for pound recruits at virtually every weight, he never won a team championship in his six years at Iowa State. It’s really that simple. TNT are no more deficient in coaching then Ohio...

    How far beyond has Iowa fallen?

    Iowa has one, and like you say, Brooks will score bonus pts against him. PSU has 7 finalists. Without Starrocci.

    Even if he is never an AA…

    Yes, and Cael should also get a hat tip for keeping Brooks, the number 1 pound for pound recruit, and jr world U23 FS gold medalist from deteriorating.

    Gilroy has 6 in the semi's. Poway looks to be on their way to a team title, but Buchanan, St John Bosco and Gilroy will be battling them. Gilroy's 285#er C. Merrill is ranked #2 in the country and has been dominant so far - unfortunately he's slated to go to Okla St.: F (28sec), F (12 sec), F...

    Is the Brands' era entering Zalesky level?

    Another way of looking at it is Zalesky had the good fortune of following Gable. He took over when Iowa was the defending team champ and returned 4 national individual champs. Virtually all of Z's success came in his first 3 years and very little success in his last 6 years. Sports is filled...

    Is the Brands' era entering Zalesky level?

    Not disputing your stats, but .... Z inherited Gable's national champion team. Virtually all of Z's success - all three of his team titles, and 6 of his individual national champs - came within his first 3 years. He benefited tremendously by stepping in while Iowa was already on top and...
