@Huskermat@ynnalr @handsometuesda9 Not to mention that a lot of club wrestlers choose to not participate in Jr. High wrestling because it’s a massive waste of time towards development
Best of luck to former Patriot medalist, Tanner Fuller as he competes at 184 pounds for Iowa Western this weekend at Nationals! We know that Coach Meink and staff will get him where he wants to be!!
RECRUITS:
With regard to the U.S. Court rulings.
I know what it takes to be a high caliber Division 1 wrestler. We will get you where you want to be without taking your eligibility away.
This is the way now.
Let me show you the path I took to get to Division 1 and get you exposed to college wrestling while keeping all your NCAA eligibility.
Had the chance to talk with ABC Raleigh about Campbell Wrestling and what it has meant to me to compete and be an alumni of the best program in the SoCon.

Poor sleep after yesterday’s news about @GoCamelsWrestle . However, today we start fighting. @GoCamels, @hbaze16 , and @campbelledu … are y’all aware that there were 10,000 wrestlers in NC last year, 7,600 in Virginia, and 5,900 in SC? Are we really going to cut off almost 25,000 potential students? #SaveCampbellWrestling, #WrestlingCommunity
Right now, we alumni and fans are organizing. A few things to start: 1) Call/email the athletic department as well as the administrators and let them know what wrestling means. Don’t attack, but let them know we have fans and support. 2) sign up for our UFC Fight pass streams to further show our numbers. 3) Come to our Orange and Black Wrestle off event on 26 Oct. 4) Finally, give if you can. The @GoCamelsWrestle posted a link. Finally, Pray for Campbell Wrestling! Thank you 🙏
Tonight @GoCamels made an unexpected and heartbreaking announcement to the amazing young men of @GoCamelsWrestle. @campbelledu administration decided to gut the nationally ranked wrestling program next year. They want to cut from 9 to 3 scholarships. They further plan to pressure these young men to leave by not allowing scholarship athletes to compete on the team. Campbell wrestling exemplifies the original mission of Campbell University. This team consistently takes young men, many from difficult backgrounds, and turns them into men of character who contribute to the community. For the last decade, we have consistently been a ranked program and @D1Taye made AA last year. Moreover, this is a further problem with @NCAA. These sorts of decisions are killing @Olympics sports and the spirit of what it means to be a student athlete. Please #WrestlingCommunity , pray for Campbell Wrestling. We are the best of Campbell. Make your voices heard with @hbaze16 and @GoCamels . We cannot let another one of us fall. A prayer for wrestling is a prayer for Campbell. #SaveCampbellWrestling @stalematesshow@MrPatMineo@FloWrestling@InterMat@Rhino184@pelikanhead@CPyles8@UFCFightPass@cffcmatchday@_wrestlersgrind@CLAW_WRESTLING@wrestlingbypir8@EZ_Wrestling
I appreciate that everyone is interested in Hajj-Malik Williams taking over QB1 at UNLV because it allows me to remind everyone that Campbell — from which Williams transferred — has the best midfield logo in college football.
Caught up w/ a former teammates dad today and it just made me realize how fun those years competing in college were and how quickly they go. Lesson for current athletes: don't get caught up in the stresses of school and training, just enjoy it while you're there!
