Oklahoma's a top notch program. One of my best friends Kyle Colling is going there next year. He was our state champion this year at 215 and also won junior nationals at 215 at Virginia Beach. Kyle was recruited as heavy weight. He is also one of the hardest workers I've ever had the pleasure to work out with. I know Coach Spates will make him a true Champion.

Sean- I understand what you are saying and the mentality behind trying to "break" the guys and rebuild. I'm just offering an "IMO" to your comment, not necessarily disagreeing with you.Scientifically looking at how the body works and trying to "peak" for the big event, the early portion of training (first few months) it's important to focus on volume, not intensity. Build your VO2 MAX, or some just say "lungs" referring to your breathing. Once a "base" volume training is complete, then add the intensity. It is not possible to hold ones "peak" for more then a few weeks.The big event for college wrestlers normally is conference or the NCAA's, those are at the end of season. For high school athletes they may be "peaking" for the first couple weeks of season (Ironman or Beast O' East) then a so-called rest until the state meet.IMO: Preseason or the beginning of season is when you focus on conditioning, first must come volume. Bring on the most intensity the last month before the big event that trying to "peak" for.I'm not a coach, nor do I play one on TV....

This is the time of year to try and break the guys.Then you build them up as you go.I am not sure what some of you think he should be doing. Have you seen the off season training of Iowa. Last year it was crazy intense. The guys have to be ready to rock.

Sammie's the best there is, so much fire, he cares so much for whomever he works with, especially if you work hard. He always talks about desire, if you have the DESIRE, you'll go far and he'll do his damnedest to help you reach your goals if you're willing to go through hell with him.

That's the message he's conveying. And it's early in the season, so perhaps there's other commitments some of the team members have already. Can't judge how well a program will fair from one video workout. But if this team picks up Henson's fire, they will give teams all they have and that's a great step for ANY team to take. Can't wait to see how Ian Daube will fare. Represent CA Ian! Crack that lineup and go Andrew Howe on us as a freshman. Shock the world! Shock on 3 1 2 3 SHOCK!
