When wrestlers whom are placing top 5 in the state don't know how to setup a basic attack from the feet, there's no argument the talent level has gone way down.

Besides the top 2-3 in each weight class most wrestlers currently competing look like they do not even know the basics. I got the premise but 113 has Whorton, Bertrandand Sharpe all All Americans at Junior Olympics, Martin from South, Recrosio that moved in from PA that is tough, Spencer from Roane...

Since the class of 2006 how many wrestlers have become NCAA all-americans?

The entire conversation is meaningless, it like the Michael Jordan or Lebron James argument. Different eras, different rules, different opponents. You must have missed the premise of the post.

I also don't see Henson beating grogg. Wilson took Henson down with ease 5 times with the same exact attack.

Yea there's definitely no one that would beat the elite from back then. Rader Smith etc. It was just a different type of aggressive wrestling. I don't think Henson would win either from what I saw against tarik.

I don't see a single wrestler from this year beating any of the 03 champions, maybe but even top three in most weight classes. Same for most years in this time frame.

My opinion (you're free to crucify me if I'm blatantly incorrect here) from watching the past 3-4 years of high school wrestling is that the talent has gone WAY down. I'm comparing current ability levels and competition to 2000-2006. Back then it seemed there were good matches and upsets starting wi...
