Yeah so we had this debate last year when sal hit it. From the discussion i think we agreed that both moves use the headlock. The Cement mixer adds the opposite underhook to control, while the Gatot roll is for freestyle (where only back exposure matters). Not a huge difference and not worth arguing about.

One of the tough parts of learning wrestling is all the sport specific jargon. This is one of those examples.

As a marketing major, we've been talking in several of my classes about how listening can be a bigger part to appealing to customers/clients than talking. Sounds silly, but this whole coaches listening to rap/dancing in the locker room thing might be effective. And I mean you look at someone like DABo Swiney and how well Clemson has been doing in recent years...not traditional but whatever works.

Cant pull the video from Hokiesports right now, but the move is called a cement mixer (or gator roll, though theres a small technical difference). Dance has a front headlock and will roll towards the free side, while simultaneously threading his off arm into an underhook. He will then reverse and settle for the pin if his opponent is caught off guard, which he is. Its a high risk high reward maneuver, that dance only attempts when he has the MD wrapped up. For another example, Sal did this in his miracle comeback last year at NCAAs. In this case he already has the underhook, and uses that to turn Cimato. Dance rolled the other way since he didnt have an underhook. Prior to this move he was down 10-4, and changed the score to 10-9:

I'd be pumped if we got Pigrome, Fox, and Ross. We especially need guys like Fox and Ross to add some talent at DE and LB.

Yea..... still better than 2011 when we only took one, but we will need to take a few next year. Looking at the regional pool though I don't see many Offensive linemen in VA/NC/DC/MA for the 2017 cycle which has me worried on our prospects

Recruiting under Beamer was trending down this year, no reason to believe it would not have continued to do so until NSD.

Jersey....regarding Dance, what is the name of his move like when he pinned the guy from No. Iowa? He appeared to be head to head on the mat, wrapped his arms around his opponents shoulders, and then he rolled both over...nasty. I have seen him pull that move a few times, but didn't know if it had a name.

It was just a season long rental that we put a wrap on from the past couple seasons.

This exchange is stale. Why do I continue? I don't know.

But, when you described the basis of the marijuana law, you described a moral:

it's to prevent the individual from hurting themselves, whether misguided or not

In fact, this law is a moral in the most traditional sense. It can claim origin from the Bible. "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?" 1 Corinthians 6:19. There is also a true moral dilemma here, whether to enjoy the "sins" of smoking marijuana or to keep the body clean.

If you want to argue that smoking marijuana doesn't hurt others, that's arguably true. But, there was a long held societal belief that smoking marijuana was (1) actual harmful, (2) a gateway drug to even more harmful drugs, (3) leads to impropriety, and (4) harms friends and families in the process. These societal beliefs are changing, leading to deregulation of marijuana. As societal beliefs change, the immorality of smoking marijuana lessens. In other words, the societal belief that smoking marijuana is wrong or sinful, is changing.

If you want more evidence that smoking marijuana was viewed as immoral, look at the war on drugs, which is driven by American society and voters in the late 70s and 80s. Legislatures took a hard stance, ensuring greater mandatory sentences for even the most petty possessors of marijuana. This lead to the mass incarceration problem America faces today.

It would not only be awesome to flip him and Fox because they are outstanding prospects, but stealing them away from UNC would make it that much more sweeter.

The current word on Ross is it is extremely close.
#sauces near to him say he'll be sticking or that he's a VT lean.
