Be interesting to watch the boards tune change on knee wrestling in the future. One of the top recruits lives on a knee

I'm not sure if you will admit this, but, we both know that our coaching staff would not allow a wrestler to perform on one knee in the style that Angelo does. That would be coached away quickly. The sad thing is that Angelo benefits from more action because he is very athletic and a really good wrestler. He actually is only hurting his own results with his style.

Ok well others here have brought it up as well. I have watched plenty of him . He's on a knee a bunch .
Post the matches where he's on his knee a bunch. Put up or shut up. This match is probably where you'll go first but you'll see someone who occasionally drops to a knee but uses it offensively at witnessed the by multiple takedowns in this match. Want to count how much time he spends on one knee?

Probably the only guy who will say this but I'm going to enjoy seeing Joey Blaze lose. I'm still bitter about his anti-wrestling performance against Kasak last year.

That being said we are going to be seeing A LOT of that this weekend. Ideally the coaches are getting them ready to force the action and early stall calls to avoid it.

The stall calls will be rare.

Obviously forgot which board you were on regarding being hypocrites ... That's your Iowa fanboys board .. look at the 180 they've done on transfers, on slumlord bob buying kids etc. Not to mention your schtick over there and over here!

What if one of our favorite rival Big 10 coaches really loses his cool and the ref ejects him from the tournament? Has that ever happened before? I can think of two coaches in particular who most people on this board would love to see in that situation.

I can take a little knee and action but AF is a knee and moving backwards. Which is to bad because I think he would be extremely effective if he attacked often.

Guys who go to a knee tend to do it against the better competition. Angelo isn't doing it much against mediocre guys either .

All these guys plus Lockett and Jax for me. But I don’t want them to lose early, I want the PSU guys to send them packing.

I know it’s a long shot, but one guy I’d love to see get beat is Mendez to shut up all the Hodge favorite BS.

I can't fault Mendez for ambition. He's clearly the dominant guy @ 141, but as of now, nobody's torching opponents like Mesenbrink or Barr.

Add all Okie State. While I understand former Lions won't all be Lions forever, it seemed to me Taylor left in a snit because Brooks beat him-something he should have expected since Brooks was younger and a more natural at 86KG.

Plus I find all the hype annoying. Taylor pushed Hamiti over the top, but that might have been him going 174 and a change of scenery that might have been the magic sauce. Hendrickson was a 5th year guy, who was fortunate Steveson assumed everybody would bow before him. So far, don't see anything special from Facundo, Swiderski and Richie Figs is a crash victim. Jax would be r/s except for Figs' swan dive.

Taylor didn't leave because Brooks beat him. He left for life changing money.

He has some stellar recruiting classes on paper . We'll see if that translates to team titles.
