Here is a great article I found one time about the best college wrestlers of all time:



http://www2.ncaa.org/portal/media_an...tlingteam.html

Now how the hell is Greg Jones not on that list??

* One of 39 3-time NCAA champions
* One of 20 wrestlers to win titles at two different weights
* One of 10 wrestlers to win a national title as a freshman
* 126-4 career record
* Those 4 losses were to Otto Olson of Michigan(9-8), Ralph Everett(3-2 t.b.) and Rashad Evans (3-2). The fourth loss was a forfeit.
* West Virginia's all-time wins leader
* Undefeated his junior and senior years
* Ended career with a 51-match win streak
* 4-time Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) champion
* First EWL wrestler to be named Most Outstanding Wrestler at the NCAA tournament
* Was taken down just ten times in his career
* Outscored opponents 298-82 his senior year
* Voted 2004 West Virginia Amateur Athlete of the Year
* 17-2 record in 4 NCAA tournaments
* Member of the Eastern Wrestling League and NWCA All-Academic Teams

per wikipedia*

Worth noting...Kos and GJ tied up Kos's senior year when he was defending his national title....Kos though missed the ENTIRE year and came back just for the national tournament and at the EWL finals GJ beat him in OT. It was a classic....

Also...Kind of surprises me Rashad Evans beat him...Rashad was by no means an "elite" collegiate wrestler imo.
