Not to sound like a smart aleck, but what do you think Jamal has been doing in that room the last year and a half?

Sean Nemec from Ohio State.

That's the only freshman or rs-freshman from tOSU who even has a chance at starting, let alone having an impact. If he knocks off Johnstone to take the starting spot I won't be surprised if he makes an impact.

if cody gardner counts as a rs freshman, he could have a big impact for the buckeyes

Is Weakley red shirting? or do you think Gardner beats him out for the starting spot at 197?

Well not to sound like a smart alec, but maybe, just maybe he's working on what worked for him in high school, which won't work in my opinion all that well in College. I could be wrong, and for his sake, hope I am.

Wow...isn't John Smith his coach? Wouldn't he figure that out?

Some people take longer than others, and there's nothing wrong with that. Some guys come in and get it right away, and succeed from the very get go. Others take a year or two.

I don't have the mindset that a successful collegiate wrestler has to do very well from the get go. When someone doesn't do real well as a freshman or even a sophomore I don't give up on them. Hell, I don't give up on them even if they don't do well their junior year.

Not everyone can be a Coleman Scott or a Nathan Morgan and make an immediate impact from day 1. Some people are more like Pat Cummins or Deonte Penn and take a while.

I don't see anything wrong with that. In fact, I think that's more of a testimony to good coaching and hard work.

word on the street is Gardner beats him handily. His only obstacle is keeping the weight
