Seems very vague.

 

[dtripp26]

Missed the discussion, as it was buried in the "Other Results" thread.

Illini release was probably intentionally vague, like the Iowa Women's Basketball thread.

There are comments about this in the "Other Results" thread that gives some detail from Willie.

Such a wannabe cesspool-y way to break important news. Is it so damn hard to make a new thread???

Sometimes I think about making a thread about the Brands but then I think I don’t feel like getting yelled at by pro-tnt keyboard warriors today

Illinois could be the PSU of the Midwest with the right leadership. Poeta is a small time type guy.

Lots of high school talent in Illinois. Just keep them in state and you'd have a great program.

Stop and go away.

Very hurtful comment.

Very hurtful comment.

Your previous comment was very hurtful to my brain.

 

[lisa morales]

Of course it's silly of me to suggest that Illinois could be a wrestling power.

Sure they could. If they had a Cael DT etc and an endless supply of $$$. But they have neither. So.

 

[lisa morales]

Illinois has excellent high school wrestling.

Pot meet kettle. Don't know where you come from, but you don't seem to be Hawkeye fan.

The problem with that has always been the location of the university of Illinois in relation to the core talent in the state.

Definitely good high school wrestling. Not quite Pennsylvania and hasn’t had as many highly ranked pfp kids as of late but one of the better states. This could be there line up if everyone stayed in state. Illinois was only able to keep 3 out of these 11 guys in state.
125-Vince Robinson #1
133- Ben Davino #2
141- Nasir Bailey #11
149- Ethan Stiles #5
157- Kannon Webster #9
165- Michael Caliendo #3
174- Will Denny #10 165 or Colin Kelly #26
184- Chris Moore #22
197- Deanthony Parker #11
285-Luke Luffman#13

When mark Johnson was there in the 90s and 00s they were very very good won a big ten title in 05 at carver I beleive

A powerful thorn. Marianetti beating MciIlravy and Carl Perry beating Schwab still stings. And didn't Benson hand Williams a defeat?

In the 97 big ten title match. of course williams came back two weeks later and wins his 2nd ncaa title but I dont think he wrestled him again

To remind, Joe Williams and T.J. Williams were both distinguished Illinois high school wrestlers. Both attended Mount Carmel Catholic High School, Carmelites from Chicago.

It is. They have the location but not the resources.
