@amattaro Since envy is a sin, I won't dwell on how blessed you and your children are to have these in-person wrestling interactions : ) Seriously, though, you getting to share these moments with your children is priceless. Well done!

No full Dake bomb? You should demand a refund.
Board trigger warning: He is as friendly and engaging as anyone in the room. My son was screwing around on a peloton at the end of practice yesterday. I rounded the corner to get him and Manning was on the bike next to him having a conversationI can hear Mark Manning even though it's just a picture!
My son is really hoping the “Cael’s cookie” guy is here today. Thanks @Hlstone and @86PSUPaul
UGGHHHHH why aren't these guys all dick heads like we want them to be LOL...
The truth is most of these dudes are great guys they just have moments...
You know like that time Cael threw a chair...

Levi worked with Sinclair this morning. Sinclair as nice a kid as you will meet. Probably my favorite non PSU guy. Marcus worked with a Georgian. Dake skipped. Some guys lift instead, maybe that is where he was. Coach Casey and Jimmy Kennedy had a spirited discussion about Casey’s new adidas shoes. Casey asked Mike Mach about having to shave his head. Mach said he going to cut it like Casey’s. Casey said he could make the back grow as full as Mike’s. Brock Hardy stood there shaking his head.

Tom, I really appreciate you posting each week's Baschamania video. It is great to be able to have the summary breakdown of the topics covered along with the corresponding time stamps. It saves me a lot of time, and I appreciate you doing it. @Tom McAndrew Is there a particular program you use to accomplish this or do you have to do it manually? TIA.

Wow, that is a lot of work! Thanks again for doing this for all of us here.
I believe if you go to the web browser edition of Basch's YouTube video he posts the timestamps in his description, which you can copy and paste directly into a post here. I did that in the past here and it worked.
School starts today, so camp may be a wrap for me. Lots of live situational work yesterday. Another board trigger: Husker partners galore!
May need to squint to see Levi’s partner
One of the Georgian coaches showed my son an arm spin, so whoever wanted some got some.
Levi learned the FAFO scale grows exponentially.
Marcus saw that and was so panicked his elbows were out.
Even old men weren’t safe.
Everyone there rules. I’m sure they all would have taken a few minutes to make a memory for my son had he chased them down. Off the top of my head: Ridge (top dog of all), Ziola, Minto (that’s a big 174!), James Green, Sinclair, Cardenas, Pantaleo, Endene, Wyatt, Jax, Levi, Marcus, and a sundry of -Shvili Georgians all made a little dude’s day.
Apologies to the good person out there whose good fortune I am stealing.
Random stuff: new mats going in soon, so the OG look will be no more. They try to keep the room at an optimized 77 degrees for training. It gets humid and smelly AF in there. I believe the mats get a full up scrub (@Corby2 no sterilazer) before the afternoon session. The women practice after the men and only get a courtesy wipe down from the pool the men leave behind. I think they could do better!

No Voelker or Taylor they definitely belong. Endene doesn't deserve to be top 10.
Not exactly the best 285 group in modern times.

In this era of burgeoning botslop, how can we be giving an anonymous content farm this much attention? That Essentially Sports outlet got laughed out of wrestling circulation; porque non this slophouse?
I love seeing Jayden in the room scrapping with PJ!
Dreshaun Ross 7-0 (by my count) over Taye Ghadiali today. Two take downs, an exposure, and push out. Total control. Ross passes the eye test.
