Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

Very briefly met him when I was in High School and Tommy Rowlands was still at Ready. We had gone to Ready for a joint practice and he asked me about my elbow since I had just dislocated it earlier that week and still in a sling and half-cast.

I can't say I knew him personally, but for a coach to ask a kid from a different school about his elbow, especially one who was clearly pissed he had to miss practice, it definitely made an impression.

Good write up. That’s about how I see it. You forgot to add Stiles point total into your final figure. I’m hoping Fishback can get back on track. Would be nice to see him eke out a win.

Side note, Stephen Buchanan teched Hassan Yazdani in the gold medal match in Zagreb. The 4 pt throw was key in that match. I always thought he was an 86 kg wrestler. He looked gassed and seemed like he gave up at the end. Added weight plus twilight of his career does not equal peak Yazdani. He and Taylor had some phenomenal matches over the years. The US wrestlers do well for the most part too.
