Kids turn in to men at college. They grow up, gain confidence and realize the people they are. He helped a few more up this year.
I think overall Moore and all the other Buckeye wrestlers are classy kids, who act appropriately in victory and defeat. Bo was showing a worthy opponent a great deal of respect under the circumstances. This is after Kollin showed Bo a bit of disrespect in one comment in a pre-match interview he posted on the Ohio State website.
Most of the interview was great and showed what a solid and well grounded kid Kollin is. But, check out what he had to say about the Bo-Martin match in last year's Finals at 3:20 or so on the tape.

I'm pretty sure Bo doesn't search the internet for quotes to fire him up for big matches (like fans like me do
) but if he did hear about this, he may have had a little extra motivation in making sure there was no doubt about a pin this year!It's funny, but I never heard this Ohio State spin on that match before, at the time of the match or since. When did the revisionist history of Martin pinning Bo before Bo flipped him start? Cheap, cheap shot...unworthy of a class program
This kind of thing is the exception, but just like Ryan's occasional goofy twitter post, it makes you shake your head because it's generally out of character for a program that prides itself on being classy.
Interviewer: “... some would say [Martin] did pin Nickal ...”
Kollin: “I’m one of them.”
Perhaps not super prudent PR-wise, but not all that disrespectful. I score it a 0.3 on the Desanto scale of 1-to-10.
It started on Twitter immediately after the match. Some of the more uneducated tOSU fans claimed Bo was pinned. A number of the more informed tOSU fans actually corrected them.
I'm not going to compare the relative degrees of disrespect, but he was essentially saying Bo was an illegit champion Why even respond to that interviewer's ridiculous statement? What did it have to do with this year's match ? It was unnecessary and was not worthy of a class guy.Interviewer: “... some would say [Martin] did pin Nickal ...”
Kollin: “I’m one of them.”

Apparently, Kollin, that interviewer and the other "people" he alluded to didn't get the memo.
I think he essentially said Nickal eats babies. But maybe I’m reading too much into it.
Wishing it were true doesn't make it so.
Sammy Brooks was closer to pinning Bo on the spladle than Martin was on the elevator.

What Kollin said doesn't matter in the least, imo. Opinions are like you-know-what's, and everyone has one. Those that even raise an eyebrow over that response must really go ape-doodoo over the far more bizarre stuff that's out there. Wrestling does most of our talking.
Would you feel the same way if a Penn State wrestler said the same thing about another team's National champion who won a championship (for himself and his team)? If so, OK, we have different definitions of class.
Part of the deal, IMHO, is that you show respect for your opponents and don't try to diminish their accomplishments.
Don't care either way, honestly. What was said was small potatoes, why get upset or excited.
