Ono to Psu

[blcoach80]

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.

Bingo! Great thing about America is we are all entitled to our opinions and this nailed my take on this as well.

OK, fair enough, but I would like to know what you are basing it on then? Kid looks small for 197, more like a 184 to me. I think he has trouble with some of the top guys this year.

OK, except money lost goes to your club, I can not give money to anyone but HWC!!! So I lose, next day I send $50 to HWC, you lose you send to your crappy club. Then we send the receipts and then NO posting for 1 month!!!!

This way I am doing a great service to my team!!!

LOL, yea right, post the pics and then we can have a fair AND honest discussion.

Iron - Weren't you banned from posting for 30 days for a lost bet?

I do not believe this bet was ever made???? If it was, who did I bet, YOU???? I will hand it to you TROLLS, at least you are smart enough to read everything I post!!!!

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.

I’m not sure why everyone is S-in Bs over this. It’s awesome, plus these freestyle guys typically struggle big time in folk for a couple years. Who doesn’t want to see Ayala smear a world champ across the resilite for 7 minutes?

You mean like the way Spencer Lee "smeared" Ono?

 

[Shifty15]

I think there should be much clearer lines delineated between professional and amateur competition. Unfortunately college athletics is steaming full speed in the opposite direction.

They might as well eliminate the word amateur from the dictionary. The concept no longer exists as formerly intended.

Y’all so scared of some 20 something year old freshman from Japan. Well let me tell you something, we got our own 20 something year old freshman coming in that will teach him a little something about a cross wrist tilt.

If you want to make a mess out of your Hanes over this go ahead, but I like OUR guys!!

You know what you’re right! We should be terrified! Be right back, I have to go plug in my night light

I think Ono is a member of that Venezuelan drug gang and should be deported.

I will text the White House right away.

That should fix the problem.

With the NIL there are no amateur college sports .

im going back to college in that case

 

[JeannieNeedsAShooter]

They clearly need Ono after Bartlet and van ness disgraced the 15 yr wrestling tradition that is Penn st. Heck they might wanna call the entire Japanese national team.

Didn’t PSU win a title in the 50’s, like 25 years before Iowa’s first one?

 

[PSUWrestling2425]

I wouldn't get upset about this. Without Ono, PSU was going to win easily next year. With Ono, PSU is going to win easily next year. This changes nothing.

Kindergarten kickball game at recess is the new definition of amateur athletics.

 

[Steevo36]

Not a big deal.

 

[TwoJoints]

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.

Ono’s 21, not 27.

 

[CMMG Banshee]

I think it was 1950 or 1953.

1953, Wikipedia has one listed for 1921 too. Never heard of that one until now.

“In 1921, Penn State embarked on a difficult eight-event schedule that included dual meets with four EIWA programs and trips to face two top teams in the Midwest in Indianaand Iowa State. The Nittany Lions claimed their fourth straight EIWA title at the league tournament hosted at Princeton.[2] That win, coupled with the later inter-conference dual wins against Indiana and Iowa, resulted in Penn State's first national championship title.[13]”

Obviously a different kind of juggernaut then one championship every generation and a half .

Jayden James has flipped from V-Tech to PSU.

I did not know The Onion had local editions.

i am considering starting a wrestling version of the onion. anyone interested? @smalls103 how about a weekly column?

 

[HugoBear]

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.

Agree it's not without precedent, but it is still quite rare/unusual. My only real gripe with this is spending USA wrestling's limited resources in training and developing guys who will compete against American wrestlers internationally. Same goes for US grads who go on to compete for other countries--I don't think they should be allowed to train at US RTCs either.

I need to look around a little at the roster, but are there any foreign wrestlers on the Iowa Womens team?

You can look but keep your hands to yourself.

A couple Hawaiians, but no foreign wrestlers to my knowledge.

Again, I don't have a problem with Ono going to PSU (other than them loading up again and making it harder for Iowa to catch them). But if he is going to continue competing for Japan at the senior level, I just don't think USA wrestling resources should support that.

Now if Cael is trying to poach away Japan's best wrestlers after they balled out at the Olympics and get them to compete for America, maybe I can get behind that 😉

No lying on the internet.

 

[yakrider]

When you see HWC coaches training and cornering foreign guys to beat USA guys let me know. A big difference between a foreign guy hanging out a while to train and the coaches repping that guy in his career against USA guys.

why in the world would a quality foreign guy want cornered by a HWC coach? seriously??? also, I hear North Carolina 49 lber is portaled and Iowa is very very interested. isn't he a Canadian? guess that's not considered helping a foreign guy, although he does wrestled against usa wrestlers. gets so confusing

 

[yakrider]

I think we are going to see just how much tougher folkstyle is than freestyle and how you need a much more diverse set of skills to succeed. With he ability to back up, he will not be as dominant on his feet.(I still hate that backing up is allowed) Also, the leg passes and the riding and mat wrestling will make him mortal and beatable. IMHO.

IMHO? In my Hawkeye opinion?

 

[yakrider]

Did you really say "challenge himself"? Lol. Now that's funny. Hey good for you guys plugging in a reigning world champion from Japan into your lineup, everyone else would do it if they could, but be real... him coming to the U.S. to wrestle college-level competition is like Kramer being in the same taekwondo class as the 9-year-old kids. Lol.

idk bout that. crook ham instantly tweeted. "good".
