What started out as a December recap episode turned into a Windsor Christmas Tournament Preview episode. The UNOFFICAL Seeds were dropped in our email minutes after starting the episode so the second half of the episode we dive into the seeds. Enjoy!!

Great time jumping back on the mic after 8 months of no episodes. On this episode I bring on Josh Smith the man behind the NY-USAW rankings and a very knowledgeable guy in the NYS HS wrestling scene.

Fresh off University at Buffalo announcing Donnie Vinson as their new head coach, Donnie jumps onto MorWrestling to talk about the opportunity. Vinson comes from coaching the past 10 years at two of the nation's top programs, Cornell and North Carolina State. I fully believe Donnie has what it takes to turn Buffalo's program around and lead them in the right direction!!

Its always great to bring on a member of America's Team to the podcast!! 2024 NCAA All-American, Ben Pasiuk, joined the show to talk about his time at the historic Army West Point.

Coach Griswold joins the podcast for the first time in 3 years. Back in March of 2021, the Soaring Eagles were a new program that hadn't competed yet. Griswold has since led them to 3 successful seasons growing a culture and competitive atmosphere at Elmira College. We talk about the growth of Elmira's Women's program as well as the growth of Women's Wrestling at the HS and College level.

Milestone Episode!!! Zakk and I are back to recap the 2024 D3 NCAA's. I was fortunate enough to have gotten a media pass to attend the NCAA's in Wisconsin and what better way to spend episode 100 than to bring on three of our All-Americans on for this episode!!

Do I need to give an introduction for this guest? Ironman Champ, 2x Super 32 Champ, Fargo Champ, 3x NYS Champ PJ Duke. PJ is a great ambassador for wrestlers across the nation but especially in New York. Hours before recording the podcast PJ and Elijah Diakomihalis ran a clinic in the Albany area. The high school junior is committed to wrestle for Penn State. I don't know how I top this episode for upcoming episode 100 but if you enjoyed the episode give it a share!!

Jumped on the mic for another preview episode this time with Alfred States Coach, Justin Signorelli and St John Fishers Coach, Ryne Morrison for a preview of the upcoming Mideast Regional Tournament at R.I.T. Without seeing seeds or entries I was going off what the NWCA had for the latest Mideast rankings. We are brainstorming ideas for the approaching episode 100!!
