    Mister Cobble?

    Is this the same Mister Cobble that wrestled at Central? If so will someone that knows him tell him good job and good luck in the bowl game from all of us... Mister Cobble isn't your typical scout team defensive tackle. Offensive guard Larry Warford knows that all too well from their battles on the practice field all season long. http://www.ukathletics.com/blog/2011/01/from-the-pressbox-notes-from-tom-leach-jan-7.html "Now that Cobble has regained his eligibility in the classroom, his scout team days are over and Warford thinks Cobble can make an impact in the bowl game even though it will mark Cobble's first college game action. "Big, strong, physical guy," Warford said of Cobble. "I don't think I've played against anyone stronger than him. We'll be double teaming him and he won't move. He really has a chance to be an All-SEC player." Because he wasn't eligible to play in games this past season, Cobble spent extra time in the weight room and said his max on the bench press is up to 450 pounds. Warford benefitted from going against Cobble every day as he earned All-SEC honors this year."

    How much is Ky improving?

    i think it is plenty easy to follow a college team if you desire to. You can watch almost any wrestling dual meet nowadays on tv. Get a couple of guys together and go watch at buffulo wild wings, hooters, or almost any pizza place. As for the whole not having a home team to root for... Yes I do agree that if we had a D1 team closer to home it would make things much easier. But the fact is that we don't have that luxery so until it happens we should make due. Besides watching alot of wrestling matches, and seeing tendencies from particular schools that may mimic your own style should be a better reason to root for them than location. Im from kentucky and live in st louis, my favorite team is oklahoma st, and somehow I find a way to watch almost every match. Drilling is much more important to bringing a young wrestler to the next level than live wrestling in my opinion. The science of wrestling is no different than any other science, you learn the material and practice the problems. Drilling is the studying and homework, the live wrestling is the test. You can't get better at taking the same test you keep failing without studying a little more.

    Great job to Caleb for all of his success, but wrestlers like him should not be our concern. A few more phenoms like Ervin or Fahy in our state is not what is going to earn us respect. We need to be worried about "Big Picture" stuff. Which state would earn more respect at a national tournament? 1) The state that has 2-3 studs that do really well, and the rest don't manage to find a way out of the third period or 2) A state that as a whole at a national tournament has large numbers of competitors who win multiple matches, whether they place high or not (though the State with its worst wrestlers at a higher level, usually reflects on how good their best wrestlers are). I wrestle at a college in missouri and I must say that the high schools I help out at in the off-season as a whole have a much higher knowledge of the sport. The best way to get better at wrestling is to learn from the best. Coaches and wrestlers alike need to be involved in the wrestling community around the world. Pick a favorite D1 team and follow it, watch their dual meets, study the wrestlers, when they score rewind and try to figure out what they did to make that particular move work. Coaches could choose a college team that as a whole the high school team rooted for, and maybe even get together as a team and watch their matches(a little team bonding doesn't hurt anybody) Studying wrestling is our biggest problem as a state, and if we became more observant of college/international wrestling, I think we would notice results.

    Virginia beach (2010 NHSCA NATIONALS)

    Seneca will also be doing nationals training and encourage anyone to come work out. Hopefully we will coordinate it so that our training days do not conflict with Trinity's, this way Louisville wrestlers can get a work out almost any day of the week.

    Same side of the Bracket at state

    Goff was a phenomenon, kids like him are 1/10,000. As a first year wrestler, he placed at state and went on to be an all-american at senior nationals in VA beach, he now wrestles for lindsey wilson. The only other person i've seen with that kind of raw talent was Justin Davis from eastern. Most kids would be lucky avoid being teched by Fahy even if they had been wrestling since grade school.

    Best in the Bluegrass

    Caleb's win at VA beach was very legit. His opponent was a returning national champion from the previous year at freshman NHSCA's. He beat some very tough wrestlers, he pinned in every match except for the finals and won the award for most falls. Its a huge tournament and we all had a great time watching our KY wrestlers compete. This is my order: Caleb Erving ~ Fahy: too close to call. Nhsca national championship Fahy: Beast of the east placer. Both have big wins over nationally ranked competition. This really is too close to call. Brad Hitchings: nearly in the same boat as Fahy and Ervin. He placed 5th at the beast, he has big national wins and has been ranked nationally before though I believe he is on the honorable mention list currently. Josh Johnson: As far a credentials go, Josh is next in line. He has been competitive at national tournaments like the Beast and Nhsca's. He did All American his sophomore year at VA beach
