We talk about the past 10 years of NCAA Wrestling by the numbers and how one team has DOMINATED the rest of the field.
Hint hint, it's Penn State. They need to be STOPPED!!

Every time I watch the finals I say to myself, "If you are a top recruit that has the opportunity to go to Penn St, why wouldn't you?"
Lets begin by acknowledging that I am a PSU alumnus. But, factually wrestling, as a minor sport, has almost always had dynasties. Certainly Oklahoma State and Iowa had longer reigns than Cael and company have thus far accumulated. There is an argument to be made that having such dominant teams actually enhances interest in a sport. We can sight other examples like Alabama in football, Connecticut in women's basketball, Penn State in women's volleyball (2008-2011), and UCLA in men's basketball.
At some point all dynasties reach a natural end and this one will too. In the meantime, I, along with many alumni, am enjoying the ride!
Agreed 100% - Cael and Penn State deserve everything they have. It comes down to the coach (and assistants) to recruit, train, assemple, and get their wrestlers ready to compete at such a high level in big matches in the NCAA tournament. The last couple years, I saw so many Penn State wrestlers win championships in extremely close matches - they just had the extra gear at the end when the title would be decided last period, last minute.
I agree. It’s fun for casual fans like myself to enjoy greatness and for other schools they have a villain to hate and want to beat. I relate it to my hometown team that was great and everyone hated in the New England Patriots. We had twenty years of greatness and played in the SuperBowl half of those twenty years.
@Bruce Peckham money is the big thing.
Too bad this current Dynasty is covering up the sins of Penn State and keeping them relevant. OSU and Iowa never had Sandusky problem that they covered up with national titles...
@@richvitale8405And ignorance is your thing. No worries. Someone has got to be dumb as a plant and a blabbering woke dolt.
Penn State should be praised for raising the bar for success in NCAA wrestling. By doing so, they also uplift the schools under them, who learn from their state-of-the-art methods and seek to emulate them.
Go Penn State!
Enjoy the run while it lasts.
As long as Coach Sanderson is there, we will enjoy the ride. Much like Alabama football or UCLA basketball, all good things come to an end sooner or later.
Cael Sanderson and his Staff made Penn State Wrestling is now National Powerhouse year and year since they came to Penn State. They are in Center Mecca of Pennsylvania Wrestling. I been following this team alot more and more since 2009. They recruit Top Recruits who want to be National Champs,World and Olympics Champions. I am enjoying the what they are doing with Penn State Don't Hate because they have a World Class coaching staff and NLWC wrestlers that world World Medalists too
RIGHT ON.
Agreed 100%
I grew up in Iowa. My dad was a two-time NCAA Champion at 177 Iowa State in 1965 and 1966. Yea, I grew up in Ames Iowa, Cael hailed from Iowa State as well (undisputed 4 time NCAA Champion). The first from Iowa State (IS) ever. IS could have had a 4-timer at 177 pounds 18 years before when Chuck Jean (from Albert Lea HS, MN) won as a Freshman and Sophmore, but he got into too much trouble (big time trouble without details) and the IS regents expelled him. He went on to Alamosa State (CO) and won two NCAA titles as a Junior and Senior but I believe they called that Division II (not Division I).
But the Bottom Line is nobody has the right to take anything away from what Cael has done on the wrestling mat and as a Head Coach. Iowa State let him slip away to Penn State. I remember my Dad being so pissed that Iowa State let him go. Iowa State's D1 program dropped off big time.
I look at Dan Gable, John Smith, and Cael Sanderson as the true icons of this sport who knocked it out of the park, on the mat, as individuals, TRUE STUDS, who translated their energy in to coaching top DIV 1 wrestling teams and excelling equally in those roles (NCAA Team Titles). I like the Brand's Brothers at Iowa a lot too.
Penn State alumni here. Class of 2015. We are not going anywhere anytime soon, we are just getting started. Cael Sanderson signed an undisclosed contract, will probably be here for a while longer, and we are just getting better.
OK ST alumni here; I’m all for Penn State’s reign. I got the chance to meet Cael at the OKC airport when I wrestled in HS and he was a nice dude.
I would love for OSU to get back to our winning ways but more top tier competition keeps the sport entertaining and progressing.
I would also like to see Oklahoma State rebound from recent down years because I like John Smith a lot (not sure what's going on in Stillwater). When my dad won his two NCAA titles at 177 with Iowa State, 1965 and 1966, he had to beat a guy from Oklahoma State in the finals both times (Bill Harlow 65, Fred Fozzard 66). Myron Roderick was your coach and Oklahoma State was the premier D1 college wrestling program at that time.
Great breakdown.
I appreciate what Alirez did at N.Colorado and how that is a non traditional power but that really highlights the champs from very small schools like Edinboro and Lock Haven who have crap facilities, no budgets and only have about 5.5 scholarships.
Alirez was also against an Iowa guy, which was a clear advantage.😂
Its called the "cael sanderson effect"
We are Penn State
We Are the KINGS!!
And We are NOT giving it up to ANYONE-
Whatever that secret sauce is that Cael has as a coach, its really amazing. His wrestlers seem to be artists in a way that generally beats the "Grind" school of wrestling that all we Gen-Xers idolized in Gable's Iowa success, and all of the other elite programs appear to follow to this day. There's something more loose and creative about his teams, consistently. Fun to watch but frustrating for all opponents.
If Cael isn't there it doesn't happen. Its not Penn State is Cael Sanderson. Penn State pays the best coach available to show up and coach. The kids want to win. Why would you deny a kid the opportunity to wrestle at top level. Its time for other coaches to step up and develop kids to that level.
I would like to see a breakdown to Iowas 9 year stretch and OSU from 2004 on 2006.
That 30% stat for PSU is impressive.
I don’t get the premise of this video. Why must PSU be stopped? I notice that you never mentioned that 4 wrestlers who transferred into the program did so for academic reasons. If you get hooked into going to Ohio State or other diploma mills, you can’t get the major that will help you in life. On the other side, top wrestlers in NY would love to go to Cornell, but they can’t get in.
I agree with you. I see you guys have taken a lot of flack in the comments. I don't understand why everyone wants one team to dominate year after year and accuse you of whining if you don't.
I'd like to see more equity in the recruitment, but of course that could never happen. I've got to hand it to Cael, though. He takes great wrestlers and makes them even better. And it seems like a classy program.
My honest assumption is that they just read the title and didn't watch the video and jumped to their own conclusions unfortunately. I’m a huge Penn State fan, religiously follow them and the NLWC, but the video was to showcase how successful they’ve been, not to criticize them or any other dynasty for its success. Thanks for watching and hopefully you keep checking out CACTUS Wrestling.
@@michaellong2595 Yeah you're probably right. I enjoyed the video. Anyone should be able to tell it was all in good fun and only had good to say about Penn St.
Thanks for recognizing PSU's unbelievable dynasty. Why is it, do you think, that the NCAA sports media isn't discussing this at a higher frequency? Do you think is is due to the the sport not being as popular as the other major sports...or is it something beyond that? #WeAre.. curious. Thanks again.
Probably because Cael is a pretty quiet person and doesnt avail himself to the media, unless he absolutely needs to.
Did you have this same energy when OSU was on their run? Iowa before that?
These guys weren’t born when Iowa was doing it.
Hello from central Pennsylvania! Note to every other college wrestling team and fanbase:
*Walter White voice

"Im in the empire business"
Years ago, I remember folks said Dan Gable had "ruined wrestling' with Iowa's run of dominance. PSU's dominance is bringing attention to the sport. Let's face it, it's tough to dominate any college sport, but wrestling has had some LONG runs of dominance.
We are! Not stopping anytime soon. Cael knows wrestling. Whether you like it or you don't like it, you better learn to love it because Penn State is the best thing going today in college wrestling.
Is it the Coach or the School? Or both? There’s no guarantees on anything except wrestle-offs and hard work.
Coach
PA high school wrestling is huge. The national stats of who is at nationals shows PA is by far #1. With all that talent, PSU should have been dominant for many decades. But it took Cael to pull it all together.
It's cael
True - Cael is the figurehead of this whole thing
I think it is a combination of both. Cael was a Iowa State and really did not have a dominant team but went to Penn State and it was like a match made in Heaven.
as long as coach is there good luck to the rest of country.
Wrestlers are unique. By and large they are not in it for any money, they are in it to excel. Why don’t you guys stop crying about the poor teams and look at it from the wrestlers point of view. Do a review of what programs best prepare wrestlers to accomplish their goals both on the mat and in the classroom. Look at the Olympics and various world and national championships. What programs produce those champions. Look at school grades/graduation percentages. Hats off to Cael and his program for a program that produces successful young men accomplishing their goals in life.
I am from Iowa and I agree 100% with your comment
Nine teams from the top 20 from Big Ten.
Go Cael!!! Go PSU!!!
Haters will always hate. Sanderson changed to program from good to a dynasty.
Very very interesting. Thanks.
You guys must have a lot if time on your hands. Wrestling has been very big in the PA, NJ, NY area for a long. long time. You need to look at the numbers of high school wrestlers from these states on the top 10 or 20 college team roosters. Penn State has placed it's self in a position where it picks wrestlers more than it recruits................too bad that people have to put a target on PSU rather than applaud the level of excellence it has achieved through a lot of hard work. I recall the time when Okla Sate, Okla U, Iowa, Iowa State ruled the roost.............so now PSU is getting a turn and it is not only helping college wrestling it is helping our national teams as well..................Guys, get over it.
Penn State is probably going to have a year where they have all 10 champions.
Cry me a river, when Iowa won 20 of 25 wrestling championships nobody was whining like you two. If you want to win, get better. Iowa has had little success since PSU started dominating because they choke in the finals. Cael is the most successful wrestler in NCAA history and he has proven to be just as great a coach. DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!
Let’s be clear….the Brands way at Iowa has passed…..their wrestle harder, want it more, more intensity, more more more is old and not effective.
That's kindve a "Gable" sterotype... the thing about the Brands Bros... they'll adapt. They're too smart not to.
*they would've been much better in 23-24 if it wasn't for the gambling scandal
Penn State will come back to earth when Bo nickal graduates.
OFF TOPIC : What Happened to SYRACUSE WRESTLING ????? I am a product of the 1980s and Syracuse was a Power amongst the other schools, No they were never Iowa or OSU but had their share of talents. Now ....?????? Just POOF !
This is just pathetic. It is like saying we have to stop russians from wrestling they are too good. WOW. Keep in mind Starocci was overall number 7 overall recruit not number 1. Should they not be able to get top 10 recruits too? Seriously weak minded argument. I can guarantee you Tom and Terry brands aren't saying this they are training their kids to beat Penn State kids.
Agreed - that's what they are/will be doing. Iowa and the Brands got beat fair and square on the mat in 2023, but they did win the year before, 2022 (they were also expected to win 2021 but then COVID19 threw a monkey wrench at that). The Brands/Iowa will never whine about this kind of shit. You get beat, you got beat - fuels energy, just gotta recruit, train, mentor, and rebuild.
im on board but only because im an iowa guy lmaoo
We are...
Quickly becoming a hated team...lol
That's what happens when you consistently beat everyone else!
@CACTUS Wrestling ur right...everyone likes the underdogs!!
No, theyre not a hated team. Their wrestlers (with a few exceptions here and there) generally come across has very likeable people. Unless their wrestlers as a whole start acting like arrogant pricks, they will never be a hated team..
T hastodo mind😅dset and training
Congrats to Magic-
Decades before it matters-
PSU ARE THE KINGS, PERIOD-
