Haines also a Class of 2014 2x Champ @ 215 & 220. According to his school paper he is attending PSU in 2 years...



PSU recruit Zach Beitz

Pssh. Details.

It was more a rhetorical response to those making statements as to Chance being like a Hawkeye wrestler. He got 4 TDS in the 3rd I believe.

3 PIAA AA Champs all Penn State Bound! From left to right 182 lb champ Wes Phipps from Grove City, 145 lb champ Zack Beitz from Juniata & 119 lb champ Jimmy Gulibon from Derry Area. Congrats gentlemen see you in Blue & White in the Fall!

I guess since PSU has won one NCAA title in a row you're saying there is no difference in the Iowa style and the PSU style (whatever that is)?

I don't understand how PSU winning anything is even relevant to your question, sort of an added inapplicable. Anywho what gopherfan said...

From what I have observed Cael has a SYSTEM not necessarily a style.

OK, then I guess I should stick to my original point that Marstellar looks to me like he would fit well into the Iowa style. That's really my sole point.

ok got it. Just semantics then.

I think it's one of Cael's strengths as a coach that he brings out the best in his wrestlers without trying to fit them into a mold. His basic rule is to wrestle hard for seven minutes (or more if needed). He lets you keep your style as much as possible. I have to believe that's very attractive to elite wrestlers.

The only consistent "style" I've seen from Iowa in recent years is that the wrestlers look like it's been a bad day at the office, win or lose. ;^)
