if he was wrestling in mid America would he have better coaching to improve his technique?

My TL;DR/cool story, bro: My buddy was an all American baseball player around 2000. When they had the under 19 tryouts the kids with the best fundamentals were all Florida, Texas and California. There was a kid there from minnesota who couldn’t hit anything with movement. My buddy came back and said the kid would be just another player if he played in south Florida.

That kid was Joe Mauer!

Basically what you have here with baseball or football with Florida TExas GA and California is what the northeast/Midwest is to wrestling.

Its not even just about the fundamentals. You will have kids from Pennsylvania or Ohio or Iowa, etc. who will be solid wrestles who could come down to the non wrestling states and win states.

Its kind of like with footbal. Where if you have a kid that starts on STA. If he was to move to Pennsylvania he is going to be the best kid on pretty much any team he plays for up there.

This kid looks very good. But Miami doesn't often win these late risers from out of area. We try, don't get me wrong, but these types just never end up going our way.

On the flipside, even when we suck, we've pulled off Shemar Stewart type late heists. I'd take that type of trade 10/10.

Many on this Board don't think we're getting Shemar ...

We’ve seen this same story play out a million times with North/Central Florida white kids. They are not worth the effort.

DMoney = on the money about these North Florida white boys.

The vast majority grew up as either Gators or Noles. ****, we're behind Bama, Aub, UGA and LSU up here — and not sure that'll ever change.

But are we also in the same boat in Tampa and Orlando and the other parts of Central Florida?

Seems like we've gotten a few big-time white recruits from that part of the state over the years.

His dad was a coach so they moved around a lot. Not a born and raised Jacksonville kid.

Pyburn is a stud and I’d love to sign him. But it’s always the same story. Good prospects that aren’t coming to Miami.

Hope I’m wrong and I eat these words.
