► Add to the Discussion Page 1, 2  Next Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Kevin Mount added to this discussion on August 19, 2018 Was a little surprised no one posted about this. I thought it was well done. Any major additions or disagreements? https://news.theopenmat.com/05-feature-articles/the-all-2000s-team-ohio-state/69012?utm_content=bufferfcc77&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on August 19, 2018 Good stuff although they might have it backwards at 174, 184 and 197. I do understand BoJo being ranked ahead of Heflin but Hef did such a remarkable job his senior season while Bo had some struggles (probably due to a never-ending string of injuries). I would have put Pucillo ahead of MyMar based on the fact Iron Mike's title came against a future Olympic Gold Medalist in Varner. Also, we only have three years of MyMar to this point. Don't forget, Mike's loss his junior season came against Jake Herbert and it was competitive. Herbert was very dominant his last two years of college. Pucillo, of course, failed to place as a senior while competing hurt all season. Same thing at 197--I'd have Bergman ahead of Moore. Moore is only a two time AA to this point while Bergman earned AA honors three times. Bergman's senior year at 285 he was dominant all season excepting his match-ups against another Ohio wrestler and NCAA champ, Dustin Fox. Remarkable to think that Tom Rowlands, one of tOSU's all time greats and a 2x champ gets ranked #2 but Snyder is arguably the finest wrestler in collegiate history if you factor in his international career.        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Jack Muni added to this discussion on August 19, 2018 My only change would be Keaton Anderson at 157. Had he not blown out his knee late in the season, he would have been an NCAA champ. He was a Midlands champ that year and beat Owen, Bertin and Becker in a two week span at the end of the season. No one could stop his high crotch, even when they knew it was coming.        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Dan Ransick added to this discussion on August 20, 2018 They should have put Bo at 165 where he was healthiest and at his best. Then putting Heflin at 174. What's really amazing is that all the guys selected wrestled for Tom. There were a total 3 guys all on the second team that wrestled exclusively for Russ. Two more wrestled for both Hellickson and Tom. Goes to show how far the program has come in the past 10+ years.        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Bob Preusse added to this discussion on August 20, 2018 Quote from Jack Muni's post: "My only change would be Keaton Anderson at 157.

Keaton Anderson first team, imo -- at the NCAAs in KC, Anderson on a blown ACL cradled eventual champ Ryan Bertin in the semis but lost 3-2 or 4-3. Then in an act of courage wr Owens from N Ill. for 5th on one leg and lost 7-4--- the ref actually stopped the match to ask Keaton if he wanted to continue. It was heartbreaking as he came into Big Tens on a long winning streak ranked No. 1 but suffered the ACL. interesting note re Keaton career, he became dominate his senior year at 157 after going 141 then 149 for Buckeyes, he was cutting into pure muscle at the lower wts.        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Bob Preusse added to this discussion on August 20, 2018 Quote from Hank Kornblut's post: "I would have put Pucillo ahead of MyMar based on the fact Iron Mike's title came against a future Olympic Gold Medalist in Varner.

MyMar could break the "tie" with big senior year.        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Luke Moore added to this discussion on August 20, 2018 Pretty amazing that Tommy Rowlands, one of the best heavyweights of all time, is second team! That would not happen at very many other schools! Ha        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Roe Fox added to this discussion on August 20, 2018 Quote from Jack Muni's post: "My only change would be Keaton Anderson at 157.

I have tried youtube and general internet searches.        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Mark Niemann added to this discussion on August 20, 2018 Quote from Luke Moore's post: "Pretty amazing that Tommy Rowlands, one of the best heavyweights of all time, is second team!

Ha" This begs the question, who is the best wrestler on their school's 2nd team?        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Mark Niemann added to this discussion on August 21, 2018 Quote from Justin Hayes's post: " Quote from Mark Niemann's post: " Quote from Luke Moore's post: "Pretty amazing that Tommy Rowlands, one of the best heavyweights of all time, is second team!

This is true.        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Brady Hiatt added to this discussion on August 21, 2018 Side bar question off the best of 2000's. What wrestler(s) could be in the running for the best wrestler to not be 1st team for the University (we can keep it to the 2000's time era) Rowlands & Pucillo obviously have to be in that discussion. Nashon Garrett - Cornell behind Travis Lee.        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Luke Moore added to this discussion on August 21, 2018 McDonough at this point is a 1st teamer, but will be replaced by Lee soon, if not already. That would be a good one.        Discussion Topic: TOM OSU Team of 2000s Brady Hiatt added to this discussion on August 22, 2018 Absolutely correct Luke.        ► Add to the Discussion Page 1, 2  Next
