Wouldn’t “home” be the NJRTC? Asking for Matter. 
Someone should open a nice gym in the Harrisburg areas, where the NLWC and Penn Wrestling Club can occasionally work out together...

Burroughs is too smart to do that.

he's from sicklerville in south jersey, which is part of the nebulous area known as "outside philly"
I'd have to think that is another feather in the cap of UPenn in terms of landing Griffith.
If you are a middleweight and you now have Slay, Hall, AND Burroughs as potential training partners, the Quakers need to be high on your list.

Sicklerville is a Philly suburb, 25-30 min south of the city on the Atlantic City Expressway.
Nope. That's the Pine Barrens. But Sicklerville is not far from the Pine Barrens.

He grew up in So. Jersey. Can’t remember which town
So. And North Jersey are two different worlds.
Princeton for me. But Trenton is pretty good in geographic terms. Culturally, Princeton.
Interesting quote from Manning: "He has the next phases of life, and he wants to open a big club in Philadelphia."

Actually I think it will be a great tool for the sport, B1# and nebby.
If he can break into metro and build his brand with the burbs, could be huge success for his venture.
Kids will drive 1-2hrs several times a week to work in the environment he will create.
He might not have the blood lines of western or central pa but hell make his own and will be wildly successful I think.
There are many successful clubs but few have the walk in the door images that JB would have. Would love if he could spin it into a mma, gym, and health facility.
I really think with the proper backing and thought this could really be big for east coast rasslin
2 hrs from Philly covers the Lehigh Valley, Harrisburg, and virtually all of New Jersey. That talent pool is both wide and deep.
But if we shrink the radius: the City of Philadelphia produces many high-end college and professional athletes in other sports. It could do the same in wrestling.
Also, the University of Pennsylvania will throw its many resources at this, and in non-obvious ways. And at Penn, he will have access to some very wealthy donors, who will be encouraged to support him.
