The Guru

Just for the sake of argument, would it be beneficial for chad in the long run to get beat at an event like this? Just to light an extra bit of competitive fire under his butt?

No. 

Loved it. If you have access to a Flo account you gotta see this movie.

Imploding quickly 

I don't know about the other coaches, but I've heard from multiple people that Tanelli is not a fan of Indiana kids.

WTH This is ridiculous

Thanks for your unsolicited opinion.

I really hope this genius isn't a coach somewhere or a mentor to young kids.

wtf?

Pariano out. Storniolo named interim coach. Can't wait to find out what really happened here. Firing the head coach during preseason? 

http://www.flowrestling.org/coverage/251734-Wrestling-News-and-Updates/article/36312-Drew-Pariano-Fired-As-Coach-At-Northwestern#.Vi7P_vmrTIV

Maintaining a #1 national ranking for 2 years while regularly attending Super32, Fargo, FloNat and WNO is super impressive. IMO he has a very high ceiling at the next level. I believe his intense movement, willingness to take risk and attack has made the difference for him in big matches. How he transitions to D1 will have a lot to do with coaching and guidance. I really like the choice of Nebraska for that reason. If he were to adopt the heavily risk averse style we see from a number of college teams these days, that ceiling comes way down. 

Best ever in high school? He's just as impressive as the other obvious candidates. JT was already wrestling a risk averse tie-heavy style his senior year in HS and was dominant. 

Best ever? In the right room he has a great chance to be the best ever. I'd wait until there's a more complete body of work before giving that distinction.  

Go to Wrestlestats if you want to see the current roster.

He looks like he hasn't improved much at all.

How much scholarship $ did he get?

Rutgers fans have been dreaming about Burroughs for years. 

Don't know much about Montoya but he had some solid wins last year over quality guys like DiJulius, Zane Richards and Sabatello.  Should be a good partner and it doesn't get any better than Burroughs in terms of role models. I like it.  

Aw man. 

ASU? Villareal and C-Red... this would be another monster for Zeke.   

OKst = Piccinnini and Kaid Brock 

With Suriano committed to PSU now and the transfer of Jared Cortez from Illinois to PSU, will this affect Red's choice? 

Ridiculous.
