InTechWrestling Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Legend has it in these parts? that gnarled, old, grizzly of a man, (referring to the HWT in the back row, far left) at some point in his 16 year coaching career consumed the younger, tenacious version of his 126# self from his college days. And that he is incubating in there, waiting for one of his Warrior wrestlers; who major in Bio-medical engineering to create bionic knees? then he will regurgitate this young man, releasing him back into prime coaching action where he will inflict an arsenal of top notch wrestling technique to be demonstrated on his innocent, yet all willing to take a beating, assistant coaches. And raise this team to national prominence. Follow this thread... we will be posting an inspirational pre-season video documentary featuring this Tough warrior wrestling team working to meet our theme this year.

morgan Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 surprised to see the older Brooks here, and not young Brooks. What happened with this. I was really hoping Justin would make an impact at I.U. why cant we keep our guys at the D1 level? just asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 surprised to see the older Brooks here, and not young Brooks. What happened with this. I was really hoping Justin would make an impact at I.U. why cant we keep our guys at the D1 level? just asking At least in Justin's case, his father had basically stated that the IU program turned out not to be a good fit for him. One suggestion for the Jared question maybe that the team did not list those athletes who are on their Redshirt year. If that is not the case, then no other answer has been provided as of yet.

AC Computer Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 MattM may be right. I saw Derek Roe in the team picture, but he's not listed below. Nice to see Tyson Bercot giving it another shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIME Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I also thought Jared McKinley was at I.U. , not on the 2012-2013 roster. Anyone know if he is wrestling some place else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabio Jr. Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 why cant we keep our guys at the D1 level? just asking A lot of people (myself included) dont do well in the big busy world of large universities. Smaller D2-D3, and NAIA schools are great for these athletes that want nothing more than to continue doing what they love while getting an education. going D2, D3, or NAIA isnt any worse than going D1 in this case.

Agreed. Nothing wrong at all with not going D1. I got so hung up on going D1 after a year at a D3 school that I didn't return to the D3 because I planned on going to IU and I never made it.

InTechWrestling Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 On choosing your level of college wrestling you are both spot on! College wrestling is TOUGH at ANY level and the attrition rate is higher than any other college sport. The percentage of wrestlers that finish a 4 year wrestling career at any level is relatively low with comparison to other sports. It's tough!!! The Bottom line is for success in college wrestling and choosing your school... is going where people feel at home (on the campus and the local community) what meets their needs socially, academically, emotionally, and athletically. In that order.

Fabio Jr. Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Ill tell you the thing that sold me on Findlay was that I could get across campus in 5 min, my professors all knew me personally (which made it really hard to skip class ), and it had a hometown feel too it much like Mishawaka did. I can't stress this to the seniors enough go where you're happy you wont regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
