I’d add David to this

What about this Mt Rushmore:
As much as I love David Carr, I think I’m replacing him with Jim Gibbons on the Mt Rushmore due to Gibsons coaching title at ISU. Individual title and a team title as coach is pretty cool. So I have Varner, Cael, Gibbons and Gable.

My second tier Mt Rushmore is:
David Carr
Ben Peterson
Nate Carr
Chris Taylor

As a younger fan:
Cael Sanderson
Jake Varner
David Carr
Dan Gable (have to respect what he did as a wrestler at Iowa State)

 

[JP4CY]

Have there been any documentaries/filmed stories of Chris Taylor by chance?

Chris Taylor was the mountain that is to be carved!!

 

[cowboycurtis]

Tim Krieger 116-3-2 record. 2 time national champion. Has to be on there. Should have been a 3 time champ

I know who he is. I'm implying that he was a rather large human being.

I just posted this to show his record.

 

[CyberJJJ]

Have to have wrestled here? I ask as I would have Harold Nichols

 

[NENick]

Chris Taylor might be on the underappreciated mountain.
Maybe he should be on both.

Cael

Varner
Krieger

Honorable Mention
Nate Carr
Chris Taylor
David Carr
Ben Peterson

If we include coaches, Harold Nichols has to be there. I wanted to include 3x national champ Larry Hayes but ran out of room.

Sorry, I’m blind

Ronnie Gray should definitely be on there. He wrestled when you only had three years of eligibility. Two time NCAA champ and one time runner up. He only lost two times in college.
