I wrestled for Ohio University with Dwight! He was damn good. The most unassuming guy off the mat but a killer on it. We took 9th in the country that year with him winning a national title and Shawn Enright losing in the finals to Ironside. Enright was incredible as well. My very first real practice our coaches wanted to break us freshman. They paired us with an upper classman and we wrestled a 30 min live go. I was paired with Enright. I got the first td and was thinking man, this is t going to be too bad. Pretty sure I didn’t get another td for the next 2 weeks! Spent a large part of that 30 min go fighting off my back and getting the shit kicked out of me. Fun times. It’s incredible how quickly you improve though when you are going with people better than you.Had to look it up, Collum won an IL state title in 2004.
Now I'm seeing Dwight Gardner. Not THAT Dwight Gardner that won an NCAA title of Ohio U right? He's even older than Collum! Maybe there are some Veterans mats sprinkled in.
If so that was in greco. U17 freestyle isn’t til the weekendI think Bo Basset was teched? I saw him down 9-0 and they were walking around looking like a challenge. Lost the mat after that...
Ha, that's great! I was going to NIU at that time and followed you guys, Enright was indeed quite the stud. Lost to Ironside in the NCAA finals IIRC. I'm not positive that was him wrestling though, said he was affiliated with Florida.I wrestled for Ohio University with Dwight! He was damn good.

It probably is him then. Pretty sure he’s from Florida and masters is going on right now. We had a good team in 1995-1997. Dwight was always good but really jumped levels in 1 year. Like round of 16 kind of guy to national champion. It all just clicked for himHa, that's great! I was going to NIU at that time and followed you guys, Enright was indeed quite the stud.

One reason of many.That's why they should never switch college to freestyle, duals would be over in 25 minutes
Mine is fine alsoanybody else having stream issues? lots of buffering
Seriously, an earlier thread referred to Carter as lazy. I was very confused!Why don't you jabronies make a separate OT/NFL Draft thread, and quit mucking up the US Open thread??
LOL..NO ONE will be surprised with Spencer..he was a damned phenom in freestylefinally got to watch. this isn't specific to this match (not a true test obviously), but I think people are going to be surprised at how good Spencer is on top in freestyle. He has turned 100% of his senior level opponents. NATO, Vito, Cruz, and Sanders are the notable names.
Valencia had beaten Ravon Foley not that long ago and appeared pretty tough against ADS.Desanto only beats high schooler Aden Valencia 3-1
I ❤️ Nick Bomb SZNNick Lee with a 10-0 tech. Beautiful fireman’s for 4 to close it out
There were people on here wondering if his top game would transfer and that's a reasonable question. What makes Spencer unique is that his folkstyle top stuff is based on his freestyle stuff. He talks about it in his barstool interview. He developed those tilts because they're the gutwrench motion.LOL..NO ONE will be surprised with Spencer..he was a damned phenom in freestyle
WOWJust watched Pantaleo get lat dropped and pinned.
Valencia is a strange one. Great wins like beating AA Foley while still in high school but is ranked outside the top 10 of his weight class in high school rankings. Are high school kids just getting so much better?Valencia had beaten Ravon Foley not that long ago and appeared pretty tough against ADS.
What?!?! I missed it. I thought he had separated himself and was the big favorite to win that weightJust watched Pantaleo get lat dropped and pinned.
That official did NOT want to call that fall. He was flat for a loooong time.Just watched Pantaleo get lat dropped and pinned.
Well unless "the people wondering" were living under a rock when Spencer was wrestling cadet and juniors..they wouldn't "wonder"There were people on here wondering if his top game would transfer and that's a reasonable question.

Ref kept himself so far away from getting a good look I thought he might be allergic.Just watched Pantaleo get lat dropped and pinned.
