Keep An Eye On Gable Steveson

Post by flexbuffchest »

He has a chance to be the best college wrestler of all time. He already cemented himself as one of the high schoolers ever and has dominated the wrestling scene even on a global scale.

True freshman at the U and he annihilated the #3 ranked HWT in the country in his debut. What he is doing is unprecedented.

Even if you don't like wrestling your might as well cheer for the guy who has a shot to go down as the best ever

He almost pinned the #3 HWT in the first 50 seconds of the match.

I might be the only wrestling fan on this board but I'm telling ya, pay attention to this kid! He's proud to represent Minnesota.

He had one big move early, and then the match just kind of bogged down.

Will be interesting to see how his career plays out. Dude seems like the real deal, though. I like seeing Minnesota kids so highly regarded. Be fun to see him push towards that Gable/Sanderson record.

That's because Derek White didn't even try and go on the offensive. After Gable took him down he was in 100% defense mode.

Yeah, White wanted no part of Gable after the first minute. I thought White played the match smart all things considered.

Gable is going to break records as a Gopher, no doubt.

Seemed like UM owned the national scene for several years not too far back but things have not been so great lately. What's up with that?

He is. Went 39-3 as an 8th grader in the 195 pound weight class and lost in the state final that year, then didn't lose another high school match after that and is currently undefeated as a true freshman heavyweight for the Gophers.

Guy's a monster.

J Robinson and the whole wrestling team was involved in some type of drug cover up IIRC. Can't remember the specific details but something of that nature happened. Once that happened the wrestling program took a nosedive

Bump.

We've seen before that the U likes to investigate situations like this a little bit deeper. Definitely not over.

Well now it's cutting into his career. Can't practice until the investigation is over at the very earliest. Too bad.
He will quit if they keep stalling and go pro. Wonder what is taking so long?
