kid125dynamite Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I want to know peoples opinion on who has a good chance at becoming 4 time state champs. I dont want them to be too young so we will go down to 6th grade. I know people will argue and dispute me saying that young, but im only going by potenital from where they are right now. People eligable above 9th Grade 1. Jason Tsirtsis 125 09 , 130 10 Champ .... Undefeated at 140 this year 2.Cody Phillips 2x Champ at 103 ... Undefeated at 112 this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon Monster Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Nick Lee from Evansville Mater Dei looks extremely tough. Could make a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD92 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Really? We're going to start talking about little boys that we think will be 4x state champs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatChick76 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Really? We're going to start talking about little boys that we think will be 4x state champs? Agreed. Why don't we let these boys keep doing what they're doing - enjoying the sport of wrestling - before we start putting this kind of pressure on them. Lee is a talented wrestler...but I think we should let him graduate from grade school before we start expecting 4 state championships out of him.

KarlHungus Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 It is an effort to increase the popularity of the sport. We are trying to be like basketball so we are going to start getting verbal commitments from grade schoolers and stuff like that. And no I'm not really serious. I agree, start the hype machine and unrealistic expectations as early as possible. Also just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Thunder Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Honestly you cant predict any of this because going into his senior year, we all thought Josh Harper would have won it for the 4th time. I think we all know how that ended.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtv2112 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I think folks on this board overuse the word stud. It definitely shouldn't be used to describe a child. Not appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmlee Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I happen to know Nick Lee. In fact, he handed me his list for Santa this morning as I left for work. Nick is 12 and has a long LONG way to go before he should be included in this discussion. I am sure he would appreciate the well wishes but a lot can happen or not happen before high school. Please don't trash him later when he turns out to be an average high school wrestler. I just hope he continues to love the sport and enjoy all that this great sport brings.

wrestlinggods Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 The LN coaching staff has 4 boys between all of us. A 19 month old and the other three are 4 months old & all born within a month of each other. Coach Douglas and Williams already have them shark tanking each other and working on their heavy hands. I just sit back and make sure their bottles are warmed up for their mid day feedings. 16 State titles!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha Coach Weimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FANMAN Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 The IMPORTANT question to ask about young Nick is "What's on the List?" XBox 360, The SIMS, Dance Dance Revolution, new fly fishing pole, couple sweaters for the fun filled Xmas photo opportunities, deck of Yugioh cards, and new socks and underwear. What more would kids want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'm all for letting these kids get to their junior year or at least well into their sophmore year before we start labeling them the next phenom of Indiana wrestling. Some of these young guys may be good but lets let them develop without adding more pressure or giving them to much of ego complex. Sure we should recognized some of these young Hoosiers as being tough wrestlers and evn point out they have the potential to help out their high school team one day, but I'd restrain from building up the hype train too much until they have had a chance to mature. Once they can prove themeselves a few years against the best HS kids in Indiana then we can talk if their name should be among the best that have ever walked on the mat in Indiana.

wrestler60160 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I have 3 grand daughters, but when I have a grandson, I will demand they name him Cael Gable Wilson then he should never lose.......well it was worth a try. ;D There would be no pressure there.....

XCard Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I guess Y2 or Karl should just lock this topic out since there is pretty much negative feedback, or let's just change the minimum age requirement to start adding a name into this topic to Senior year. To add to the topic of discussion in this thread, I have not seen him wrestle yet, but I am told the Boston kid from Lawerence North is the real deal. I would put some good money on Tsirtsis pulling off the feat and as long as Phillips stays with the lightweights, I think he has a legitimate shot at four as well.

Hutt Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Yes Jason Tsirtsis and Cody Phillips could "only time will tell". Only 7 have done it.
