Freestlye/Folkstyle are different games, different grinds over a college season. This was BK's first full year where he only focused on folkstlye wrestling. Prior to that he was doing Freestyle, football, baseball, track.
He sure doesn't look like it right now, he does have a world gold and silver in FS.
I am not sure what Keuter's plans are going forward. If he becomes a part-time wrestler from here on out, I think that's going to stunt his growth.
Oh this Is complete bs. The guys been wrestling folkstyle his entire life. You act like he’s the fresh out of the boat Japanese kid from Okie St. that Ayala wrestled. He’s had two years in the program. Stop the excuses.
Yeah Ben just doesn't measure up to guys that won Olympic Gold metals before they graduated college.
I love his future and do think in the next couple of years, if focused on wrestling full time, he is a legit title contender. I will say I was expecting more offense from his feet with him being the u20 champ. I wonder if the weight difference is the reason.
Tell us more how you don’t understand wrestling
He's had just under 14 months in the program. Big difference between 14 months and 24 months when discussing a freshman heavyweight.
Still more excuses. I guess only time will tell. Not sure how you can watch him get decimated on the mat and still be so confident.
Confident in what? You're the one who wrongly said he's been here 2 years. How stupid are you is the next appropriate question?
Did Ben like piss in your cheerios or something? #hater
What're you trying to prove other than your significant level of brain damage?
Hope the HWC can get a big buy on board this year. Lots of talent out there, and I think Ben would benefit greatly if this happens. Such a loaded weight this year, and it's another example of why I can be just amazed at how talented some of these guys are. Have a guy that hardly broke a sweat in HS, has had a lot of success on the international level, and then he moves into DI and quickly learns that he has a lot of work to do in order to be the best. I think Ben will have a lot of success in the coming years. I believe a title is viable if he commits to wrestling full-time. If he doesn't, I still think it is possible, or at a minimum get an AA for multiple years. Hell, maybe even this year.
I remember Cass taking it to Kerk as a redshirt freshman more than once. After they physically transformed him in the off season, Cass was never close again. How many guys ranked above Ben this year are as young or younger than Ben?
But there's no high level guys(coach) in the room or the HWC to push him.
Who cares?
So unimpressive that he is now 2-0 against a returning AA in his freshman campaign.
Go troll the football board loser they’re easier
Not every explanation is an “excuse”. Even Kerk got his ass kicked early in his career. Cass majored him
He’s not stuck at a bad weight. He’s so tall that he could be the biggest HW if he tried and football decided he needed to go to d end of TE. At his height he’s looks small but the frame is there. During the Iowa vs psu match they showed that he only weighed in ten pounds less than Kerk who everyone thinks is huge. For being the “small guy” ,and a dual sport athlete, he’s out quicked a lot which has surprised me. ÝThe weight really opens up next year for him to be an AA but is he going to wrestle full time next year? If not then Iowa should go qafter the Campbelle
