Interesting how many new PSU usernames have cropped up

He is the specialist
Read his post again, and then try to list all of the foreign-born wrestlers competing in NCAA DI. Then compare wrestling, a niche sport fighting for its life at many schools, to basketball or whatever other sport you're thinking of, where world and Olympic competition is entirely country-based. This is not apples to oranges.
I love the international exchange that wrestling often fosters, but allowing future competition to train here at the expense of limited USA wrestling funds, and then go compete against team USA is in my view a bad and stupid idea.

That's kind of how message boards work - people comment on things outside of their control.
At least we can agree on my assessment of you.
Also, I think you and many others here are being continually got by one of the most effective troll jobs in the history of the Internet.
The NCAA website clearly states that drug tests are given at all three levels Div I, II, and III at the national tournaments AND with one day notice during the season.
I talked to a coach who said they have not done testing in years
That failure as you call him won again by a wide margin. And he doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
Barr finished higher than Beard and Messenbrink finished higher than Barraclough. So I’m not getting his point. I don’t think he is either.
Historical note; old timers on this board will recall Japanese greats Yojiro Utetake and Tadaaki Hatta wrestling for the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Both wrestlers were NCAA Champions. Utekake was an Olympic Gold Medal winner, and Hatta a World Champion.
I believe Hatta lived in the Chicago area, and for many years he was a fixture at the annual Midlands Wrestling Tournament. Hatta was always recognized for his wrestling achievements by the attending wrestling community.

Maybe, and just work with me here, Penn State’s COLLEGE wrestling team will benefit by having a guy in the room with the skill set Ono has. Maybe it’s not some plot to undermine US freestyle wrestlers’ chances to win Worlds and the Olympics but to maintain the high level of wrestling partners in Penn State’s room. Maybe if Ono is in the US he’ll compete in the freestyle competitions held here, giving US wrestlers an opportunity to face him and get a feel for what they’re up against. And what does it matter anyway since the HWC is clearly superior to the NLWC - at least that’s what I read on this board - so Ono’s presence there will have no impact on Hawkeye wrestling.
My understanding is that Penn State’s / NLWC did NOT recruit Ono. Ono approached them about training at the NLWC and, like any other wrestling organization would have, they enthusiastically agreed. It’s my further understanding that Ono has been a longtime fan of Penn State’s wrestling and wanted to wrestle there.
Late to the party, don’t know if it’s been brought up. In a shocker to no one Willie being a douchebag on Twitter again.

It’s an obvious point, but there are 10 weight classes and wrestling and how many various athletic guys do you have a weights of 125 to even 174 pounds at college? How many guys are going to be on a college football roster at 175 and under? How many basketball players are gonna be in a sport like that? Your average size athletic guy would probably be in the 184 to 285 class.
And with 10 starting spots on a team and no real rotation during a contest, you’re gonna have a limited amount of regular size guys in the sport. You’re gonna have fellas that excel that will be explosive, but they will be at certain weights.Look at Ben Keuter a D 1 football player.
What other sports would most wrestlers be able to excel at at a D1 level? Possibly gymnastics? Maybe track and field at certain events, maybe even cross country if they choose endurance. I’m sure a few could play baseball. But there aren’t that many athletic choices for guys that weigh 125-184s .
So you’re getting a certain kind of body type that’s going to excel at wrestling, they will be naturally strong, flexible, and very athletic but a certain size. You’re getting people very prone to high levels of natural strength and quickness.
Jim Wendler wants wrote and wanted a better power lifters or former college wrestlers because very few people have their natural level of strength from all the training they’ve done for wrestling. He mentioned one former college wrestler who banged out for your 50 glute ham raises the first time he tried the exercise.
It’s a very difficult exercise at first for most people. But wrestlers are going to be naturally strong.
is considered a PED. There are many things that boost performance but I don’t think many guys are using anabolic at a college level. Not saying it’s zero, but there’s this thing about people suited for a sport sticking with it, getting better, and maybe make it to college.

I assume he'll be taking English classes as well as using some good language translator earbuds or microphones.
Rec drugs only. Not sure how to make that any more clear. It's a simple, quick urine panel test.
The 5 panel would test for. Cocaine, methamphetamines, barbiturates, amphetamines, and marijuana. I can easily find out if it's 5 panel. The urine screen doesn't test for performance enhancers.
There is a decently high percentage that fail the THC, but no real punishment for first time offense. When I say decently high I'm talking across all sports. I never asked how many fail in wrestling.

It will be interesting to see the transition but he has a year to get ready to get off the bottom and I imagine he has been wrestling off bottom since he got here. He certainly will be a good case study for future foreigners coming to the states
those guys dont do steroids anymore now that they left PSU.... Of course MM and Barr finished higher...
You know what I think you are probably correct on that. Because if a person felt that way and was that miserable they would need help stat.
My bad.
Fish on!

An athlete from a foreign country should not be allowed to train and compete in the United States of America unless they become a citizen and represent the USA in athletics.
Any way you look at it, a foreign athlete being allowed to train long term in America and then compete against the USA is wrong.
I do believe it should be allowed, if a foreign team or individual(s) wanted to do a short-term week to a month training in the US but nothing longer than that.
I 100% believe if you are a US citizen and decide to compete for a different country, you should live and train in that country full time.

I had a Chinese grad student TA in physics who couldn't speak a damn word. We bitched about this in the 80s. Ono probably reads it better than speaks it because I could understand him better than Long Duc Dong or whoever my TA was.
Opinions are a funny thing because it has not been this way as long as I can remember. I'm going back to the late 60s and I'll bet you'd think it's ok if Ono was in Iowa City.
My stance does not change even a little bit, regardless of the university the foreign athlete wants to compete for unless they become a US citizen.
I don't get how it's accepted you can allow a 27-year-old freshman, who just so happens to be the World Champion into Penn State. Penn State is turning into the Miami Hurricanes of the 80s. I don't the kid will ever step foot in the classroom. Shady stuff going on in Happy Valley.
He’s 21, he was born 2/10/04. Most freshmen have redshirted in high school making them 19 plus their first year on campus.
banshee you need to get a life
He may not be the only one who didn't step into a classroom. Math and English not high on your priority.
