Haines is looking like he's gonna end his career as dominant as Brooks. He is who is catching my eye this year.

To quote Monty Python..........."I Got Better"
To provide insight about your post: Jordan Burroughs......who is often brought up as "The GOAT" Lost several wrestle-offs to his own teammates as a freshman. As a result he only wrestled in 8 duals compiling a 4-4 record, He did earn the starting spot for the Big 12 tournament. He went 2-1 losing to Matt Storniolo 7-3. He earned to start at NCAAs and went 1-2. Losing 3-2 to Dustin Schlatter of Minnesota and Matt Storniolo 6-1 in overtime. His Freshman record was 7 wins and 7 losses.....THREE to Matt Storniolo and TWO to Dustin Schlatter. By your rubric he couldn't possibly in conversation for GOAT because he had a very poor freshman season. The fact that....as a sophomore... he lost only 1 match to Dustin Schlatter in the regular season by 2-1 and defeated Brett Metcalf 6-2, Bubba Jenkins 3-2 and Sean Finn by pin was impressive. He then won the Big 12 tournament with TFs and MDs which should be impressive. Finishing third at NCAAs while losing only to Metcalf was definitely impressive. Being undefeated the next two years and earning two NCAA Championships while ...in his Jr. Year....defeating Justin Gaethje, Dan Vallimont, 2 victories over Micheal Chandler and 3 Major Decisions over Cyler Sanderson. A 26-0 National Champ. He then we 20-0 in his senior regular season with 18 bonus point wins. 9 Tech Falls, 5 MD, 4 Falls, 1 Forfeit and 1 Decision. In the Big 12 he defeated Tyler Caldwell again. At NCAASs he won all 5 matches by bonus points including a finals MD over Tyler Caldwell. Oh....the best part.....when he started competing internationally.....HE GOT EVEN BETTER. To Summerize.....Judging a wrestlers greatness by their freshman year performance is the folly of a Dunce
Right. You might make the argument that Burroughs is the GOAT, but only based on his freestyle accomplishments. I don't believe that he's the GOAT even based on that (nor do I think that Gable Steveson should be in the discussion based on his limited career).

I see your point but he is a goat in free not folk. A 2xer cannot be considered a goat when a goat can have 4 and now 5 championships.
How can you be considered a goat when you only won half of what is attainable.
Goat talk is nonscence. He may be a dunce, not in this topic.
Wrong Gable.
His parents messed that all up. Why in the h e double 🏒 would you name a future great after a 🐐 they should have known every one would get them confused, silly parents.
Kyle Snyder on the other hand. Kyle won Olympic and World gold b4 NCAA gold.
Yeah. Sorry about that. It's just when we are talking about GOAT and Gable I default to Dan Gable.
Snyder won the Olympics in 2016. He won his 1st NCAA championship in 2016. So you where close ( Worlds gold in 2015) but not accurate.
It sounded more impressive the way I told the story.
Who cares about accuracy when it comes to a good story?
Always. It's a shame I wasn't with you guys for the Mrs. Warner interaction. The version told was classic. My version would have been delivered with some liberties towards more colorful without too much concern for total accuracy.
Hey now! At least I am basicaly a friendly a-hole! Even Roar defended me with Mrs Warner!Mrs. Warner can spot an A-Hole a mile away!
She would love me.Mrs. Warner can spot an A-Hole a mile away!
Which Ferrari are you talking about?Mrs. Warner can spot an A-Hole a mile away!
Refer to Frodo’s bunghole pics. I hear they’re going for 50% off.
I don’t think Iowa has the best lightweight room in the country this year.
I don’t think Iowa has had the best lightweight room in the country for a very long time.
