“To be honest I never really saw myself wrestling in college because it’s folkstyle and I don’t really like that. I always thought about playing football in college,” Bey said. “But I do want to go to college though, I just don’t know when. I’d like to go to Iowa State though. Iowa State is a dream school for me, it just might be a little further down the line now.” Great Article from Ryan Holmes/Flo Wrestling.
BEY TO OTC

I understand the saying but not quite sure how it applies here. ISU has brought in some recruits lately with decent Greco credentials but not sure ISU/CWC has anyone who are actively pursuing Greco full time like he is.
How bout we just wish Kamal good luck in the Greco thing...we need guys like him in Greco.
Stop it. Damn internet. Read it once it's a rumor. Read it twice and it's fact. Wikipedia > library for some folks.
Plenty of kids with awful grades that don't leave high school. There are kids with good grades that do leave high school. Grades are not a reason to leave high school. Mr. Bey had the opportunity and chose to go to the OTC.
All I know is that I'm a fan of Bey's wrestling. I could watch his highlights for hours. Can't wait to see future highlights wrestling for USA!

I have to agree with you PBS. The kid has the opportunity to chase a dream and develop into one of the best wrestlers in the world, then lets congratulate him. It has to be a tough choice to leave high school as a senior where you will be the king and go to the OTC where you will be just another guy.
That takes a lot of courage. I am not sure I would have had that type of maturity at this age. I will keep an eye out for him and be pulling for him. Best of luck Mr. Bey!!
That's why my guy who knows OPRF very well (just as well as you do) told me this word for word at Fargo. That he simply couldn't get his grades under control and realized that OTC was best opportunity for him to continue wrestling. Nothing wrong with that, not everyone is a college wrestler and while I don't especially like his showmanship on the mat, I wish him the best at the OTC
Even IF your statement is accurate, why do you feel the need to come on a public forum and rip a high school kid??
Sir, you are a TOOL!
Sir, you are a TOOL!
Even if you were told that it doesn't make it true. Easy to verify. Who are you and who told you that? Not everyone associated with OPRF knows the program or kids as well as I do and those that do tend to shy away from those kinds of conversations while hanging out at tournaments. They would be more apt to answering these types of questions:
Your guy obviously thought this info was a state secret so you had to find out on the internet.
Last I'll say on the subject. Impossible to win an argument with anonymous internet guys armed with unverifiable "facts". I'm not interested in running in circles.
It's stuff like this that sent Papa Stroker to his twitter rants, and why I'm ok with it. Why anonymous posters feel the need to belittle others is beyond me.
Papa Bear is my favorite poster. Dropping knowledge!
Well...he's one of mine. But then you're up there as well Sloe so what does that say about my judgment.
Wasn't trying to be argumentative AZ. Got zero problems with Papa Bear. Seems like a good guy and a big wrestling fan. Grappler6 is a Gopher fan, Papa's kid is a Gopher, couldn't resist throwing a little "Gopher" remark in there. Nothing more. Nothing less. They are the "enemy" after all........................ is this where the emoticon is supposed to come in? OK.It was a compliment bro. I guess I have to insert the emoticons...
