David Taylor one of the best wrestlers in this upcoming high school recruiting class is going to Iowa State. This is a nice land by Cael and the Cyclones while Ohio State takes a little bit of a hit by the announcement. (Link)

Nice Job Greg Hatcher and Pat Smith!!! Arkansas Athletic Association has voted to sanction wrestling in Arkansas. These guys have worked to bring something from nothing and are doing great things for wrestling. Wrestling is growing at the High School Level strong and steadily, and will continue to grow with visionaries like Greg Hatcher and Pat Smith. It wasnt too long ago when Jim Genta (founder of the NCWA, not to be confused with the NWCA) started wrestling here in Texas, since that time Texas is popping with wrestling and growth and support is mushrooming. Hopefully Wrestling in Arkansas is only a couple of years from this scenario.

Joe Williamson is in Russia and has more matches of Russian Nationals to put up
