Sorry bump I forgot to ask you before I posted that thx I'm now sitting

I like Daniel at 106 and I don't think it's close

Voting on who's best? Only  in tn lol you guys are hilarious 

Be careful what you say!!!!! Anyone can and will be beat !!! Kudos to both young men for working as hard as we all know they have!!!!!

Lil off subject but I feel guys on this one would know, how do the freshman dual team get picked? Any wrestleoffs happen in the past for those spots between big, little, private? Thx

I'll leave you fellas to i yourself but you can't tell me one single comment where I called anyone a name!  And if you'll read every time I comment wrestling god bust my chops so calm down as a matter of fact if you go back and read my comments brought out some great discussion . Thx 

good luck with that strategy wrestlingbob

One prob I see is the majority of our youth and hs coaches are dads or buddies that wrestle 100 yrs ago that are too nice because if you get on their Lil Johnny too hard they will grab their ball and run home . A legit youth program will not care about anything but results and for that you have to have legit coaches and parents and to have that cheeeeese$ has to be generated 

Calm down fellas!! I think we all are for tn wrestling getting better to be honest part of me thinks we just simply don't know what to do! But I do know as a whole we'll not climb to fast against the best until we're facing and doing what they are or more such as wrestling yr round which is tough to convince , seeking tougher competition , personally I see a lot of our better wrestlers doing just the opposite until cornered at state or wherever! 1 or 2 serious kids in each gym isn't enough , I don't know the fix but I am ready to help or support in anyway ! The last thing I wanna do is piss anyone on here off but sometimes the truth hurts ! I travel a lot and overall from ms level to highschool our coaches kids and gyms are not on a level with the best it's gotta start early , I saw a post where a guy was speaking of hs kids and rankings and said he didn't care about what they were in ms ! Sorry boss if your gonna talk nationally it starts then or before to become great ! Thx for all input

I could not disagree with you more.

It's fine to disagree MY opinion is until our coaching ,intensity,competition , yr round wrestling , and#1 our parents step up we will be where we're at now! Kudos to everyone who is involved in tn wrestling the teams and coaches just need so much more support than what they get thx to all who support wrestling it's just not enough to compete consistently nationally

That's why it will stay the same

Glad to see conversation being generated about national rankings but I'm sorry folks tn is so far behind nationally it's terrible and I don't see it changing anytime soon except for select few that are doing 500% more than the rest!! 

I agree 100% and I'm not here to argue im for all kids involved it's like our focus is competing inside our borders only and too me that's SUPER SAD so with that I say anyone trying to do more is a good thing personally I think timing is bad for this tourney and I wouldn't call it st tourney our club personally is doing a lot with outta state kids at our gym and outside tn because is your serious and wanna compete you have to do it in a atmosphere where it's legit not 3 months a yr thank you all!

 

TN can step up by sending kids to more out of state tourneys. TSSAA is doing us a disservice by not letting our kids compete at Beast of the East, POWERade, Walsh, etc the list goes on and on. Im all for competition and mat time. But adding another in state tournament isn't exactly going to turn TN into a national powerhouse. There are many other factors preventing that.

Sorry didn't mean to put that on! This is the problem with tn you have too many people are threatened easily by new stuff coming in and adding to stuff like gobble calling out ghouse he was not a sweetheart with his remarks but it was not a call out at the end of the day our competition level is not where it should be in tn and anything that is adding more wrestling to tn I am for ! I spend a lot of time outside our borders and if we care about the future than a lot of people need to get off their butt and turn it up or get out of the way! Tn is behind! Period

Right, however, as a coach looking at which tournaments to send my kids to if I see the leader come on here and pick that fight it looks bad on that organization. Garrett can say whatever he wants, but for him to come back and take that fight looks bad on them. I'm sure there will be many many other issues that will not be favorable on them after this weekend, but hey its their first tournament in TN so that is to be expected I guess.

 

If you're comparing him to DJT, who's responses to those who disagreed with him were name calling, I'm not so sure I'd want that comparison.
