Stop...BK is not leaving Iowa. At least not by his own doing... Not knowing how much he's making from NIL, I don't think anyone would/could match it and he needs to prove that he's healthy before another school would risk it. He would definitely NOT move to a lesser division especially if he has Sr level aspirations.
I've no clue, but my sense was that he thought he had a better shot at trying to get a turn than a takedown. But he seemed to only be trying something right away, then just gave up on that. Doesn't seem to have much confidence/offense against top 10 guys.
That's not a body type casualty. That's a failure in strength and conditioning, another common theme in this program. We look tiny compared to other programs and our third period dominance is a thing of the past.
Somebody else said he's doing football. If that's the case, I'd prefer he just focus on that.
The football thing needs to be put to bed. Hate to sound like I'm bagging on the kid, but he wasn't close to seeing the field or even the 2-deeps when he was on the team. 2-3 years away and a couple injuries is not going to make him closer. Focusing on wrestling is his best shot. He's not a football contributor at this level.
Along with injury, I lean towards these types of underlying causal explanations as well.
Ben is an ectomorph, he's always going to have a hard time putting on muscle.
The theory of ecto, meso, and endomorphs is largely considered pseudoscience
I question if he's ever been in the weight room. He needs to get bigger and he hasn't changed alot. I agree, he loses 10-0 and hardly takes a shot
Might want to get that @corby3 ready
An ectomorph body type is tall and lean with smaller muscles, narrow shoulders, and narrow hips. People with this body type often have a naturally fast metabolism, which can make it difficult to gain body fat and muscle.
His actions scream "entitled".
i'm just going to 'assume' you don't know how to read or are bad at logic.
A four point turn and then riding him out in the third/erasing riding time would have sent the match to sv.
Uuugh, did you watch? "I urge you, I compel you, I implore you, I beseech you", watch the replay.
I’m more concerned with the coaching in that match.
This is not a full list and you have to have some decent knowledge on D1 wrestling but check out this AWA list and tell me he (they) don't turn out the freaking talent.
I think they look like crap. Jmo though.
Why do you say that? He is getting paid ALOT. He took the money he should take the ripping. You can’t have it both ways. It’s now a job he is being paid for. In the real world poor performers or let go.
I'm no Sebolt fan. I've covered this ad nauseum in the original cesspool, but this is a stupid f*cking comment. Comparing Askren to Sebolt is wild.
I have attended upwards of 5,000,000 wrestling meets/tournaments (old as dirt).
I’m as old as dirt also coached for over 30 years never made parents happy telling them their kid wasn’t cutting it. It has nothing to do with the kid and all to do with the performance. By all accounts he’s a great kid. Right now he is not wrestling very good. It’s on him not the coaches to fix it.
5 million???? lol
Definitely some hyperbole and I like it. 365 days x 50 years is 18,250. 5,000,000/18250=273.97.
It most definitely seemed that way.
That's not a huge list for the praise he gets
Show me where anyone has said sebolt should be the next head coach or is a wrestling genius like they talk about asshat. It's crazy that a guy who's lucky to be alive isn't trying to get more out of life than being a dumbass troll.
