TripleB,
Coming from an overweight former heavyweight who never won a high school state title and was not exactly known for lighting up the scoreboard himself, I find it quite amusing that you would find the need to bust Dake's balls. He is, after all, one of the greatest college wrestlers in the history of the sport. A 4x NCAA champion at 4 different weight classes, without a redshirt. Has beaten former World Champion Denis Tsargush. Has beaten many NCAA champions in his brief career to this point (Molinaro, St. John, Howe, Paulsen, Taylor). Has beaten countless NCAA All-Americans. Not to mention wins over World Team Member Reece Humphrey, Olympian Jake Deitchler, and the only guy to beat Jordan Burroughs, Nick Marable. About the only guy left to beat at this point is Jordan Burroughs, and Dake came oh so close last year at the Trials that I believe that will happen at some point before its said and done. Oh yea, and on top of all that the kid has an Ivy League degree and a 6 figure a year endorsement deal and he wrestles and coaches wrestling for a living.. What more does the guy have to do? How about a little respect?
