Good for SCW. Stunned at how good he’s become after a pedestrian high school career relative to Big 10 prospect status

I don't want to take away from the recruit thread, but we've got some really good kids heading here!

Yeah, a pleasant surprise for sure. The rooms is going to get competitive from 157-174 finally. He competed at 184, but was 174 earlier in the year. Should be interesting to see how things shape up over the next few years, especially if Turley comes back for another year.

Looks like he mopped the floor on his competition!

Do the coaches get any credit for developing SCW???

 

[MS-RU]

To be fair/transparent this weekend he beat an un-rostered wrestler who is 2-6 this year vs D1 & D2 competition, a 7-8 backup from Columbia, and 8-6 backup at the Naval academy so it wasn't exactly a murders row. I'm happy he's out performing his original expectations but he is no where near ready to contribute in the B1G. Hopefully he can continue to develop and show promise. Definitely routing for him.

Wasn’t the NCO a pretty prestigious tournament for redshirts? What happened

People are just competing less overall these day and now that redshirts can wrestle attached for 5 duals\tournaments, it definitely lessens the need for all of the these open tournaments unfortunately.
