Viginia Tech's Collin Gaj entered the NCAA tournament as the 4 seed after a really nice showing at ACC's and well, the entire season if I'm being honest. In his path to become an All-American stood Cornell's Jaxon Joy.
Collin uses a version of the Win-Dixie against Joy that's different from the one Jason Nolf popularized, and in my opinion, is stronger and more controlled, but you'll have to watch until the end of the video to see what I'm talking about.
I won't be giving any tips on how to defend what he does. Nope. Good luck.
A Lehigh Valley guy, one of my long-time students, I wanted to detail at least one of his matches at NCAA's and what more fitting than this one. Always proud of my dudes, another All-American in the book!

One of my favorite wrestling photos ever. We took this between the week of Big Ten’s and NCAA’s in 2001 as a more real look into who we were day in and day out as college wrestlers. I just thought it would be a good keepsake. I never knew it would become an annual Illinois tradition. But this is the original, 25 years ago. Hell of a lot of wins and successful college careers in this photo. Miss these days and these guys. Best time of my life. ❤️💪

Let's talk @wrestlingbucks 197
We have three NCAA DI AA caliber wrestlers here. Fishback at 184 & Feldman at HWT. All 3 too big IMO to go 174.
Do we see one of these guys in the Portal soon?
A lot of talent for only one open 197 spot at The Ohio State University.

Idk I may be indifferent but I thought it was boring. But I have that mindset of just screw it, sacred money don’t money but maybe that’s why I didn’t win a national title. Respect to all the guys that won tonight none with less!

BREAKING NEWS: Connor, the newest Barstool Chicago employee (who looks exactly like White Boy Rick), wants to go by Barstool Burns. He’s been “Burns” his whole life and yesterday people were calling him Connor. Please refer to @therealburns3 moving forward as BURNS.

@adamtirapelle @T_Ram133 Such a pussy thing to say. No wonder OH and PA are the best wrestling states. just tougher than everyone.

@T_Ram133 We have to smarten up and try somewhere people want to go when it’s cold. San Diego, Phoenix, lots of places in Florida, etc.

@adamtirapelle @DaviDav_4 Valenti explained it on the bracket show as there were 4 guys who were in the mix, they looked at records against each other between the 4. One guy(Jax) was 1-0, two were 1-1(Blaze & Davino), & one was 0-1(Seidel). Not saying I agree or disagree but thats how he explained it.
English

I'll admit I'm not a seeding expert with the way they do the matrix but I'd like to hear the explanation on Forest over Davino.
- One guy wrestled a whole season, beat a lot of good guys. Avenged is only lost to the number one guy at the conference tournament and won the toughest conference.
- Another guy is amazing but only wrestled the second half of the season, with his top win over #4
Can Forrest win it? 100%. I thought he would be the number two seed. I just don't see how he deserves number one over DeVino or Blaze if he would have won the Big Ten. These types of seeds are nonsensical to me.

He got on a black diamond tennis chain😂 not a normal electrician

@WrestlingJunki6 He’s undefeated and beat the 4 and 5 seed. The 2 and 3 seed both have losses and never wrestled the 4 and 5 seed. That’s why Jax is the number 1 seed. He has the quality wins criteria over the 2 and 3 seed.

@johnnidijulius I never switched up on you Johnni but good to know you’re back on my side. 🤝

Let’s go Beau! Might be my favorite wrestler whoever repped the Penn State singlet, coming from a Buckeye fan. Always was a tough opponent for Jesse and was respectful in victory and defeat. 🤝

If you knew you were 99 failures away from your dream, imagine how excited you would be every time you came short. 1 day at a time. It will happen IF you keep going.
