    Gone are the days with 7 of the Top 10 teams present though. The early 2000s with Hasseman’s Franklin, Crousore’s LN, Pendoski/Tharp’s Portage, Cathedral, Crown Point, Floyd Central, Lowell, and a cast of nasty Region teams. Always one of my favorite tourneys of the year. Well run and a good sampling from around the state. However, this year the tourney is way down.

    No love for the Irish bigs! Keep an eye out!

    CMA 106 is nasty.

    Walendzak and Bailey major Ross and Beatty. Rioux beats Walendzak 3-2. Garcia beats Bailey 1-0. Oh, and Culver Military is a Top 10 Tourney team. 3 - 4 podium guys. Their Ohio transfers are solid.

    Mosconi up 3-0 in the 3rd and gets cradled. Irish best Warren 31-28 in a great dual. Warren is good. Senior role players that stay off their back where they don’t have hammers. I’d say Top5 Dual Team.

    Nice article. Should be a great early test for both the Irish and Orioles on a Saturday. The matches alone below are reason enough to come to Cathedral gym this Saturday. 113 - Pierson v Seltzer 126 - Ross vs. Walendzak 145 - Coleman vs. Mosconi 152 - Graves vs. Rodgers See you Saturday!
  7. IndianaWrestlingGuy1
    Yes

    Man, it’s good to be back. Missing an Irish wrestler or two in these rankings, but we’ll have time for them to shake out the old fashioned way. Can’t wait for the season. 20 days until first weigh-in....

    Here you go: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1992-04-14-9202030488-story.html If you read between the lines, it is about equal number of male/female sports scholarships and nothing to do with the $300k it takes to fund the program. Adhering to athletic governance to protect any possible impropriety far outweighs adding a program that would put the university in the crosshairs with anything NCAA IMO.
  10. IndianaWrestlingGuy1
    Hahaha. That’s funny. They have the one of the largest endowments in the country. It is like $12B. They could fund full scholarships for everyone on the team and their siblings. It was a title IX issue in 1993 when they dropped it originally. I imagine wrestling still maintains step-child status as they have booming female sports that need equity.

    I’m almost positive Jason Terry (Cathedral) has more wins than Lance. I know he was 50-1 his senior year. I believe 47-2 his junior year, he won it all his sophomore year, couldn’t have been more than 4 losses. And placed 6th as Freshmen. I believe he was north of 180. CHS was into the 50 matches a season program in the 90s. I’ll try to confirm actual record. Believe Matt Hasbrook was north of 150 as well.

    Where the heck has Bloomington been lately? There is no doubt the Doug Blubaugh days/camps and Olympic heritage produced a few offspring, but the rest? Why did Royce Deckard leave? Can anyone revive either program? There has to be more grandpas and grandsons with historic love of the sport down there to get a program rolling again. JT Young is at Carmel now, but there has to be a few others. Matt Morin and Owen Valley? It’s a great rasslin’ town. #needaresurgence
  13. IndianaWrestlingGuy1
    Coach P - Are Carmel mats softer than other mats around the Indy area?
  14. IndianaWrestlingGuy1
    Where is Jay Manson when you need him? He would be a logical transfer to the Irish this season. Even with Arlington’s rich history, he was one of the most talented ever. These are the instances the IHSAA can’t set rules and regulations for in the transfer game: consolidations and closings.

    I’m both, Doc. Card carrying member of the resistence to the media for years. Been coaching grade school football for years (3rd and up). Been coaching K-8 wrestling for years. Never had a concussed participant. Bunch of garbage being propogated and advertised. At least in grade school and middle school.
  16. IndianaWrestlingGuy1
    CoachP - Transfers won’t kill the sport, but all the media circus around contact sports and the concussion nonsense just might. There is a major correlation between football and wrestling. USA Football numbers are down nationally by hundreds of thousands in the last 5 years. Parents are just getting more butt hurt about Little Johnny’s mental health. For a sport like wrestling that pushes kids harder than any other, 100% parental buy-in (especially from the mother) is paramount to a long lasting scholastic career in wrestling. The problem doesn’t lie in transfers, it lies in the number of kids that are embracing the sport. If the number of teams and most importantly, the health of wrestling programs stays static, transfers would be significant to a program’s success or demise. But, winning programs/great academic institutions will always attract parents searching for the best for their kid. Further, kids expelled for grades or conduct also predicate moves. So, transfers will always happen whether it is good for the kid or not. Be careful to not assume all transfers happen with wrestlers chasing bigtime programs. More times than not, the transfer is leaving a good program due to grades, conduct, or, in some cases, tuition.

    Cathedral is most likely the Who’s Who of transfers out. We can go 80’s old school with PM’s Coach Schoettle, mid-90s LN State Champ Robert Miller, 2000s Warren Champ Brandon Wright, etc. I’d say we’ve lost IHSAA place winners somewhere in the mid-teens since the LVR years in the 80s. Awesome place to be, but big parental sacrifice. See you lovelies on the mat in 2 short months. Irish have been putting the time in this summer..
  19. IndianaWrestlingGuy1
    Blair ain’t no $52k. But, no different than open enrollment in Indiana either. Pick yo spot, Matty B.
  20. IndianaWrestlingGuy1
    3 Ohio transfers/new enrollees? Begs to question who is footing the $52k/annual tuition bill for all these kids at Culver? I know there has been a gold rush in Ohio with Governor Kasich, but just wondering how three plus rasslin’ families are handling the $200k high school tuition commitment. Hard enough getting kids to Indy P/Ps for 1/4 of that.

    Congressman Jordan seems super rattled by all this partisan press. In fact, he is so rattled, he decided to just be Speaker of the House. What a baller.
  22. IndianaWrestlingGuy1
    Where is GrecoCoach when you need him? David McCubbins (90s) was probably the best Greco wrestler pound for pound we have had from Indiana. MattHasbrook was Greco FILA Cadet World Runner-up in the 2000s. You can’t discount total exposure of the hips and legs and still dominate a match. Hugely important to the complete package. Gotta work a Greco week into your practice regimen. The County sucks. Oh, and since this is a Triple Crown thread, shout out to Kyle Harden (CIA) and 4x Triple.
  23. IndianaWrestlingGuy1
    Tried to resist, but can’t. Cathedral 2016-17 was 3rd in the IHSAA state and didn’t get invite or a write-in. And, as far as I am concerned, we’ll never get a write-in with the current system. I think Maligned and crew are doing a good job, but the write-in/committee might need to look at criteria differently.
  24. IndianaWrestlingGuy1
    Both Cathedral and Roncalli have very nice freshmen classes coming in. Roncalli picks up some nice depth in upper weights from CYO St. Barnabas (Butts, Neu, Lewis) and rising 152lbers in Ashton Brandon from CYO St. Mark and Andrew Stuck from CYO St. Roch. I can’t remember if the younger Lowery is an 8th or 7th grader, but he’ll have an immediate impact too. I’ll say now Roncalli is most likely a Top 5 squad next year. We won’t know total enrollment at Cathedral until admissions close next month, but just the depth coming in from CYO St. Simon with Zeke Seltzer makes for a bright future (Dickey, Braun, Gonzalez, Bragg). Both CYO St. Luke and Simon will be contributing greatly to the Irish the next two years and you’ll also get some McGinleys rolling through starting in 2 years from CYO Christ the King. Defintely no where close to the incoming talent of “The County”, but we do alright for “The City”.

    Let’s change the scenario: Take the 32nd place team in the Al Smith: Princeton. I would wager that their attendance at the Al Smith alone vaults them to the 190th best SoS. However, the chance they might have one or two wrestlers face a top ranked Cathedral, Chesterton, or Columbus East kid are slim. Conversely, the chances a Cathedral wrestler faces any of the 3 Indianapolis Arlington or 4 Indy Broad Ripple High School wrestlers in the City Tourney are slim. Both Double digit negative ranked teams. My point is the weighting system for the individual tourneys need to be reconsidered in my opinion. Perhaps they are already considerably less weight, I don’t even know. If they aren’t, they should be less than teams scheduling duals with top ranked programs. And, not penalize good teams stuck in less than competitive conferences.
