Team USA coaches must be very good at developing, only 1 out of our 4 finalists was a top 10 p4p recruit and only 2 out of our 6 medalists were top 10 p4p.
Men's Freestyle Day Two Thread
- Thread starter vhsalum
- Start date
Supposedly his Russian opponent who is also a world/Olympic champ is a year younger. Not sure I buy it.
If true I think it's a lock. Only 1 point separates winning/losing at this point in the competition.
I think Syder is going to be too much for him, almost a 25 lb. jump Sudaleav made.
I hope so anyway. Lol
Gable must be totally fired up right now, having made the trip hoping to see the USA win the team race for the first time in a long time.
I would have been excited. I would have known I was going to have a story to tell my children and grandchildren for years to come.
Russians have a truly "amazing" ability to add muscle. ;-) But I'm going with Snyder as well.
I don't think they have recruiting rankings for freestyle.
No doubt about it he is wrestling at a higher level while still in college than any athlete I've seen in my time.
His true freshman year he beat J'Den (3x champ, world/Olympic bronze), then as a sophomore, giving up 40 pounds, he beats the best heavyweight of the last 10 years who also has a world bronze. Amazing.
Im taking him over Sadulaev.
Have to give a shout out to someone that uses the word "penultimate". Nice work!
I think this is certainly a recruiting tool for Manning, but I think the sales pitch loses momentum if you are outside the 157-174 lb. range. Kind of like trying to get a free agent QB to Detroit because Barry Sanders is there... What you have around you, coaching you, etc. may not look as impressive.
Big thanks and shout out to Zeke Jones. I think the Team USA performance has a lot to do with his vision, his direction and what he implemented while at the OTC.

Unfortunately this is good recruiting for NE.
Why? If it evens the playing field, I am all for it. Only makes the sport better.
If David Taylor can't get to the Olympics or WCs through the NLWC, it isn't the well oiled machine everyone is making it out to be.
I'm a fan of this medal match announcer's Scottish accent.
He must have special skills. When we vsited Scotland, there were folks who I would have sworn we're speaking a foreign language.
JB with the Gold!!! Very nice tournament. He is back!
Burroughs now 4 world golds and an Olympic gold. Last year was an anomaly. He is one of the greatest to ever lace em up for the US of A.
Tied with Baumgartner. One more to tie Smith.
It's like watching an MMA golf tournament. Lol

He must have suffered a little burn out last year or had an injury. He was just as dominating as ever this year. I saw no drop off in speed, strength, or anything today.
Good to hear our national anthem played....finally.....hopefully a couple more times yet!!
Burroughs class act, team player, in his post gold interview mostly talks about how great everyone else is.
AC DC Highway to Hell blaring in the arena between matches. Funny!
Don't think it's FS experience. Zain has been wrestling off season FS for the past three years. His par terre is brutal but he just never got to it
