BTW - I have NEVER seen Garrett wrestle so poorly in his previous 250+ matches I have witnessed since he was in 3rd grade. But every dog has his day & Sat. it was Thompson.

What a difference seven days can make!!!
Garrett Goebel wins in dominating fashion @ Wisc. "Cheesehead Invite" (20 teams from Midwest) pinning all five opponents in total time of 3:30 (:42 sec. average, w/ his fastest pin :08 sec.). Breaks his own tournament record of pinning his way thru finals for 3rd year in a row!!

*** A shame that Eric Thompson / Iowa Waverly H.S. did not attend.

8 seconds?????? (had to go bold to compete with XP)... thats amazing. Congrats to GG.

Now I know absolutely nothing about wrestling and even i know that these are absolutely ridiculous stats. What a beast. Glad to see a future buckeye tearin it up on the mat.

Yes! And I can't wait to see him pin the Juice and whoever the richrod gets to spread his runs in 8 seconds, too. Go GG!

Thanks for the updates XPUNISHR, my only concern is his conditioning It sounds like he took his frustration from his recent loss out on not only one, but many opponents. It seems like GG has a great attitude and killer instinct that should translate well onto the gridiron,

He is working on his stamina / conditioning much more now that he has bolstered his strength.In 6 weeks he will resume speed camp so when he arrives in Columbus this summer he will be as physically & mentally prepared as a rookie can be......I can assure you of this.

I wonder if he doesn't start out at a DE spot?

[Oneshot]

Please, no. Need tackles. Need them now.

How big is Garrett these days? What's his goal by the time he arrives at tOSU?

Darn straight...I see Goebel and Rowell staying at DT, with Mobley hopefully developing into at least a DE/DT combo. Not to mention I think all of Garrett's attributes best suit him at DT...excellent leverage and penetration on run support, not to mention he can pressure the QB well. I can't wait to see Garrett play.

Thanks for the reply X, its great to know how serious GG takes his strength and conditioning. I was sort of joking about GG's short wrestling matches not giving him enough cardio work It is great to hear how he is just punishing (pun intended) his opposition this year.

And his background as one of the best wrestlers in the nation also suits a DT.

Sure doesn't...one less thing you will have to teach Garrett is leverage. It's apparent in watching his wrestling videos and football highlights that he really understands technique and leverage. I was blown away at how polished Garrett was in his senior football highlights. I think you could see Garrett get PT quick because of that excellent tecnhique, learning quickly, and obviously his physical ability.

Garrett currently fluctuates between 275 - 280 and plans to add "lean muscle mass" before OSU arrival. How this effects his weight I cannot tell you other than if his weight remains same then I GUARANTEE his % of body fat will have decreased. He does not just want to "bulk up" but add quality weight / or lose unneeded fat. He realizes he will soon be facing the greatest athletic challenges of his lifetime.

i got a funny story, i work at officemax is south bend and ND recruit Sean Cwynar Sean Cwynar - Football Recruiting came in to buy a 19" HP monitor well i started to talk to him and told him i follow recuiting and saw him in the army all-american game the i mention that i was a OSU fan and i asked him if he meet Garrett Goebel and hes was like "yeah..." didnt say a word after that, payed and then left officemax lol, he figured out that i knew Garrett smacked him around haha. i should have asked him how he faired against Mike Adams in the AA practices but that might be a little mean! lol
