How does B1G fall sports decision impact wrestling?

Taylor Venz will look to lead the Huskers in his senior season. (Photo Credit: @Tvenzz on twitter.) On Tuesday, the Big Ten announced the postponement of the fall sports season. With that announcem…

newrestle.com

" In the last 12 years, Nebraska has only finished outside the top 10 in recruiting twice, 2012 (11th) and 2015 (19th). They are one of four school in this decade to have a ranked class every year, joining Oklahoma State, Iowa, and Ohio State.” What does that mean for Nebraska? If you take those recruits and add the development from Mark Manning, Bryan Snyder, and staff, you get a very successful team. Saylor adds this stat, “In the last decade, 2011-2020, Nebraska has an average NCAA finish average of 10.6. Its the seventh highest in the nation, behind Penn State, Iowa, Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Cornell, and Minnesota. Nebraska was ranked #4 at the end of last season, it’s highest finish in over a decade. If you remove 2012 when Nebraska finished 21st, its lowest finish in the decade, their average jumps to 8.5.” Nebraska’s 2021 class already has two wrestlers committed that are ranked in the top 4 of their weight class in Jagger Condomitti and Lenny Pinto."

Wrestling: In-State Commit Antrell Taylor Demolishes at Dual Tournament

Antrell Taylor and Scott Robertson of Millard South competed for the MWC Wrestling Academy at the Ultimate Club Duals

www.cornnation.com

In-State Commit Antrell Taylor Demolishes at Dual Tournament​

"To be honest, it’s hard to be more dominant than Taylor was this weekend at 73kg (161 pounds). Through seven duals, Taylor went 7-0. But it wasn’t that he won all of his matches that was so impressive, it was how he won them. Taylor won six matches by tech fall and another via injury default (he was leading 8-0 at the time), his fastest finish being a 17-second 10-0 tech fall win over Bryan Shannon of Capital Wrestling Club."
