Can not leave out Spencer off, lest for the injury.

I forgot Synder. He is ours now!

RBY as well.
I can’t seem to wrap my head around Eierman not going at the LCO. It seemed he transferred in large part for freestyle aspirations. Now he’s delaying his first Olympic until he’s 28?

 

[Lovethissport]

Left out RBY and Spencer because they are not in the trial. Also, it’s funnier that Iowa only has Sammy Brooks!

Cornell can claim
Vito Arujau
Yianni
Nahshon Garrett
Evan Henderson (if you can claim Gilman!)
Kyle Dake
Gabe Dean
Ben Honis

Counting the men’s freestyle field by college, here’s what I came up with:

1. Penn State 10
2. Cornell 6
3. Ohio State 5
Minnesota 5

With 2, Iowa trails Wisconsin and Iowa State, which have 3 apiece; ties with Rutgers; and just edges out Lock Haven, Columbia, Indiana, and North Dakota State, which have 1 apiece.

There was a nice Henderson interview on yesterday’s Baschamania podcast. Koll is a good egg for taking him in. I also like Grey’s approach to training the senior-level guys - no special treatment!

Maybe that should be Rutgers 2, Arizona State 1?

RBY as well.

Almost certain a few other guys would have delayed his first Olympics as well so......

Recognizing that there is always a high likelihood of me missing a reference ... I have two for ASU. Zahid and Sasquatch.

Yeah that was not well worded. Attempt at an Olympic run is what I meant.

If Bouzakis has international aspirations, I’d think he’d want to get in the room with the 10, right?

Which begs to question why they keep vying for " free style" changes for push outs lol.

And Caels secret plan is finally revealed lol. Seriously though you have to wonder how much Of a role this plays in recruiting kids.

The number of Olympic Trials participants in men's freestyle by college in the last four cycles:

Penn State
2008: 3
2012: 5
2016: 7
2020: 10

Iowa
2008: 7
2012: 6
2016: 5
2020: 2

I like our trendline better than theirs.

And if David Taylor, Thomas Gilman, Zain, Nick Lee, Jason, Helen, and others start to win Olympic medals, the momentum will continue to build for attracting top tier candidates.
