I always told my boys, If they've never beat you it doesn't matter what they're ranked. If they have beat you, nothing says you can't beat them this time.
That's awesome. I love Jersey wrestling. It's my favorite state at the high school level. P.S. I know Pennsylvania is #1, but Jersey is #2 in my mind, without a doubt. And it's the most fun.
@@2Minihats You left out the only other state that has only 1 state champion which is California. Watch out for Florida now that a lot of high level coaches moving into the state.
This was exciting wrestling because of the high scoring affair, but make no mistake these boys would be crushed by any other high ranked opponent from any other state. That was incredibly sloppy.
Yannis is a multi-time National Champion and legitimate All-American who has placed at some of the best tournaments in the country. Not to mention a Fargo Placer. Julian doesn’t even need to be spoken on. There’s a reason he’s ranked nationally and is being pursued by the best college programs in the country. It was not sloppy. It was two very high level wrestlers going at it and showing their ability to score in many different positions.
Also, crushed by any other high ranked opponent? Doubt it. Yannis just showed that the very best in South Carolina, a notoriously weak wrestling state can compete with anyone if given the right opportunity. Julian George just placed at the Super 32 and beat multiple wrestlers that are currently ranked in the Top 20 Nationally.
I didn't think it was sloppy. I saw two good kids battling and fatigue played a part. Great match. There were some positions they got into that could be foreseen as sloppy if you aren't up on modern wrestling with leg passing and Houdini back door escapes.
I'm a Badgers fan. Haven't seen much of George. Thoughts? He got a chance to be a starter in the B1G or is he a depth guy? I understand nobody REALLY know shit until you get there. 6X State Champs flame out and guys who don't win State Titles win multiple NCAA Titles. I'm just asking for a gauge on what type of prospect he is.
