base Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I've been impressed with the early success Purdue is having under a new coaching staff.

Sgyorks Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Very impressed as well seems like Welch's have improved a ton since last year and Danny sab is legit. They could sneak up on some teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Danny Sabatello is one of the most underrated wrestlers in the country. This guy is a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyshred Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Is Atwood hurt? Noticed at the Midlands, Stein is at 197. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlHungus Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Is Atwood hurt? Noticed at the Midlands, Stein is at 197. Had a big knee brace on in the UT Chatt dual. Might have tweaked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Scholar Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Had a big knee brace on in the UT Chatt dual. Might have tweaked it. I heard he had a torn ACL. But has been wrestling on it. Don't see Atwood getting back to full strength this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stateorbust Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I heard he had a torn ACL. But has been wrestling on it. Don't see Atwood getting back to full strength this season I talked to his dad earlier this season and he does have a torn ?CL don't remember which they said it was but that he was going to wrestle thru it since it's his senior year. They have talked about setting out every once in a while to not over do it with his knee. Let's just hope he is healthy come tournament time!

The Guru Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I've said it here a lot, but I'll say it again; put together an aggressive program that wrestles hard and mean, goes out to fight for every point and every position with heart, and people in this state will get behind it big time. You don't need to win the Big10. You need to go out and get in a street fight for it and they'll love you. I get the feeling Ersland is fully aware of this and is trying to create a brand. base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 They are not always winning, but have to respect their mentality to battle for every point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guru Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Right. Look at Illinois. They've transformed that program into a roughneck outfit. It's not an apples to apples comparison in terms of where they're at talent and recruiting wise. They're a top 10-15 team right now. But the style they wrestle has changed over the last few years. Those guys GO HARD. They're in shape, and they're mean and nasty. If you let up, they're gonna put it on you. They're tough and the world of college wrestling respects that.
